Monster Hunter Wilds Launches, But Day-One Bugs Run Rampant

Feb 28, 2025 2:28 PM

Monster Hunter Wilds has officially launched and is dominating Steam with over a million concurrent players. However, the debut has been marred by several technical issues. Players have reported an error message upon startup that says "Sorry, something went wrong." A simple Steam restart is often resolving this problem for many. More serious concerns involve performance on higher-end PCs, with users experiencing screen tearing and other graphical glitches. Capcom has acknowledged these issues and recommends updating graphics drivers, disabling compatibility mode, and adjusting game settings. Additionally, players with lower-end setups are encountering low-poly models, causing some humorous screenshots to circulate online, but it’s a frustrating reality for those players. Despite these setbacks, the game is receiving positive feedback from a large portion of the community.

What should I do if I encounter errors in Monster Hunter Wilds?

If you face issues like the error message "Sorry, something went wrong," try restarting Steam first. If problems persist, consider updating your graphics drivers, turning off compatibility mode, and adjusting your game settings as recommended by Capcom.

Monster Hunter Wilds is the latest installment in the beloved Monster Hunter franchise developed by Capcom, known for its immersive gameplay and intricate monster battles. The game expands on its predecessors by introducing new ecosystems, creatures, and advanced mechanics, designed to engage both veteran players and newcomers alike. Its launch marks significant anticipation from fans eager to embark on new hunting adventures.

It’s impressive how Monster Hunter Wilds is pulling in such massive numbers despite the rocky start—proof that the hype is real, even if the game’s still got some kinks to iron out. Honestly, the low-poly models and glitches are giving the game some unintentional charm, but here’s hoping Capcom smooths things out soon for those struggling with performance.

It’s wild to see Monster Hunter Wilds breaking records despite the technical hiccups—classic launch day chaos, but at least Capcom’s quick with fixes. The low-poly memes are gold, though; gotta love how the community finds humor even in the glitches.
