Monster Hunter: Wilds (PC/PS5/XSX) - 2025

[Krandor]

Note for the PC folks which I just found about myself - the game is still using FXAA/TAA when you enable upscaling, unlike every other game on the planet that disables them when you turn on DLSS or FSR. Have to turn your upscaler off to toggle the setting, then can turn it back on

What the fuck, it grays it out like it's disabled, but leaves it on? That's insane.

So I am not sure how this effects things, but if i think my game looks pretty and i have good frame rate, will doing as you suggest make it prettier? because atm the only thing I would want to "change" is anything that makes things more gorgeous. Otherwise I'll probably leave it be, though i appreciate the knowledge

[Krandor]

It'll make everything look a bit sharper.

DLSS/FSR already provides their own form of anti-aliasing due to how the tech works, so the game not disabling it is adding another layer on top of it.

It's also probably costing a frame or two of performance. Both TAA and FXAA are low cost, but it should still free up a small bit of overhead in a game where every little bit will likely help.

[Rulke]

Ok cool, I'll give it a shot and see how it goes. ty.

[Krandor]

It does cause a small amount of glitchiness with some of the armor previews in the smithy screen.

Likely some underlying coding oddity due to how DLSS doesn't apply upscaling to the UI and those models are considered a UI element.

Aight, some slutty fashion hunter

Zoh Shiah quest and gear at HR50, Mizutsune, Gathering Hub and more coming in the TU1 which drops next Thursday/Friday. Later in the month, or maybe it was May there will be an Arch-Tempered Rey Dau. They teased a monster for TU2 as well but I didn't catch which one. edit: looks like Lagiacrus


screenshotted the roadmap from the video but too lazy to rescreenshot it without the play button, lmao

[Rulke]

Yes! Let's go! I was just talking with friends the other day about Zoh Shia, its been a shame we can't fight him again unless its an SoS answer. Glad to see he's being moved back into huntable.

[Celeras]

I fucking love Arena timing.. shame I only bonk since it's so weak in this one but I shall be the best bonks of all the bonkers.

[Krandor]

Cheaters are gonna have the sub 1 second times locked down the second arena mode comes out

[Celeras]

Laughs in PS5

But yeah the in-game leaderboards ain't it

[Drai]

also yeah that second TU monster looks like Lagiacrus

[Cyn]

It is Lagiacrus. Guess they just want to keep adding monsters that only work in Scarlet Forest... sucks that the update is the 4th, I'll be in work hell doing the Dreamville Festival until the 7th at least, and then going to see Vampire Hunter D on the 9th. Might have time to kill Zoh and Mizu a couple times lol.

[Cyn]

Later in the month, or maybe it was May there will be an Arch-Tempered Rey Dau.

April 30th

So I'm really enjoying hunting for all these small/big trophy monsters. At first I was sort of bummed you didn't have to hunt for the monsters like World, but eventually you got enough prints and leveled up your knowledge base so you "unlocked" their location on the map anyway. Having to run around the maps and find these trophy monsters is scratching that itch. Friends and I share some we find and all but it's been a lot of fun.

Oh, and slooty fashion hunter pic.

Spoiler: show

[Krandor]

Layered weapons are coming soon per the director.

[Celeras]

TU1 is out, and even though they warned people that they were doing bans for the arena leaderboard (or at least trying this time) people still immediately threw up 0 second times lmao.

Let's see if they can remotely keep up.

Seeing on Reddit that trading with Sekka through Nata crashes the game
