In an intriguing revelation, a player of Monster Hunter Wilds has discovered that the game runs significantly better on PC when all downloadable content (DLC) is installed. This finding, shared by Reddit user de_Tylmarande, suggests that the games performance issues may stem from an aggressive DLC ownership check that negatively impacts frame rates for players without the additional content. After testing on different accounts, the player noted a stark contrast in performance: their friend’s account with all DLC saw frame rates soar above 80 FPS, while their own account, lacking the DLC, struggled with drops down to 20-25 FPS.
