Troubleshooting Monster Hunter Wilds Not Starting on PC

If Monster Hunter Wilds is stubbornly refusing to cooperate on your PC, even after launching from Steam, there are a few simple fixes to try:

Restart Steam: This might seem obvious, but a complete Steam restart has surprisingly solved this problem for many players. Ensure you completely close Steam (end the task in Task Manager), then relaunch and try starting the game again. It might take a few attempts.

Delete Crash Report Files: Navigate to the game's installation folder on your PC. Locate and delete the CrashReport.exe and CrashReportDLL.dll files. Try launching the game again after deleting these files.

Reinstall or Contact Support: If the above steps fail, a full game reinstallation might be necessary. If the problem persists after reinstalling, consider contacting Capcom's customer support for further assistance. The issue could be related to your system configuration.

Await a Patch: The problem might be widespread, in which case Capcom will likely release a patch to address the issue. In this scenario, patience is key.

That's it! Hopefully, one of these solutions gets Monster Hunter Wilds running smoothly on your PC. For more Monster Hunter Wilds guides and information, including armor set lists, cooking tips, and pre-hunt meal strategies, be sure to check out The Escapist.
