You can force Monster Hunter Wilds DLSS 4 support to increase PC performance in seconds

Capcom’s Monster Hunter Wilds is currently decimating the Steam charts with the game currently peaking over 940,000 concurrent players at the time of writing. While the game is a huge success on PC, Monster Hunter Wilds’ rocky performance does leave a lot to be desired.

While fans called for the addition of Monster Hunter Wilds DLSS 4 support before release for Nvidia RTX GPUs, Capcom decided to ship the game with an earlier version of the reconstruction technology which can result in substantially poorer image quality. Thankfully, you can simply force the feature on PC yourself.

How to force Monster Hunter Wilds DLSS 4 support

Just like with previous games using DLSS, although this is a first for Monster Hunter, players can inject DLSS 4 into Capcom’s latest title by replacing the internal DLSS DLL file hidden within the game files.

As Monster Hunter Wilds ships with DLSS 3.7 instead of the latest version of Nvidia’s reconstruction tech, you cans imply swap out that DLSS file with a newer version. Using the Nvidia App, the newer version of GeForce Experience, you can override the game’s DLSS with these simple steps:

• Open the Nvidia App
• Select Graphics
• Click on Monster Hunter Wilds
• Scroll down to the Driver Settings option (make sure the latest drivers are installed)
• Tick DLSS Override Super Resolution

It’s worth noting that, at the time of writing, you can’t override frame generation in Monster Hunter Wilds. For now, doing so will result in the game crashing, but simply adding DLSS Super Resolution will work fine.

Additionally, if your Nvidia App isn’t updated, or simply isn’t showing the setting for Wilds, you can also download the Nvidia DLSS 310.2 DLL from here and replace the current file inside your Monster Hunter Wilds install yourself.

Just be careful

It should be noted that, while fans have experienced no issues yet, there could be some minor instability added by forcing Monster Hunter Wilds DLSS 4 support. However, is this does happen, you can simply verify your game files on Steam, or manually revert your DLSS back to the original 3.7 version, and you should be smooth sailing.

Considering the swathe of performance issues in Monster Hunter Wilds on launch, it is surprising that Nvidia and Capcom didn’t push for DLSS 4 support on launch. However, with Nvidia trying very hard to get its best technology adapted by more games, it could arrive in a post launch update like it did very recently for Marvel Rivals.

While Wilds’ performance may be unwelcoming on release, it isn’t stopping anyone from enjoying the game. With over 940,000 players on Steam alone, this may be one of the biggest releases of the year.
