Fans Aren’t Happy With Capcom’s Response

Despite Capcom’s attempts, the publisher encountered a mix of positive and negative feedback on their X post from fans. Some critics accused the developers of disregarding the main concern, which was the game’s subpar optimization. Additionally, a large group of fans expressed disappointment that Capcom had not provided updates about their efforts to optimize Monster Hunter Wilds, suggesting that the developers were attempting to conceal flaws in the game’s development by offering troubleshooting advice instead of addressing the root issues.

After that release, the developers have rolled out a few small updates (hotfixes and patches) for the game, but so far, the criticism from the gaming community remains unaltered.
