    Fix Monster Hunter Wilds Benchmark Error Today!

    The Monster Hunter Wilds Benchmark tool has been plagued by various crashing issues, frustrating users trying to test their system's performance for the game. Here’s a summary of the issue, its causes, and potential fixes:

    Common Issues

    • Crashes on startup or during the benchmark process.
    • Black screens and sudden shutdowns before the test begins.
    • Stuttering and instability, even on systems meeting requirements.

    Possible Causes

    1. Outdated Drivers: GPU drivers, especially for AMD cards, are often outdated, causing incompatibility.
    2. Windows Updates: Running an older version of Windows can create stability issues.
    3. Frame Generation & Upscaling: These features, particularly on AMD GPUs, have been linked to crashes and performance problems.
    4. System Requirements: Even with reduced specs, some systems struggle to run the benchmark due to poor optimization.

    Workarounds

    While no universal fix exists yet, the following steps have helped some users:

    1. Update GPU Drivers:
      • Visit AMD or NVIDIA’s official website to download the latest drivers.
      • Restart your PC after installation.
    2. Disable Frame Generation & Upscaling:
      • Set resolution to native and turn off frame generation in the benchmark settings.
      • Lower all graphic settings to medium for better stability.
    3. Close Background Applications:
      • Use Task Manager to shut down unnecessary apps consuming memory or CPU resources.
    4. Run in Compatibility Mode:
      • Right-click the benchmark executable file.
      • Under Properties > Compatibility, select "Run this program in compatibility mode for Windows 8" and enable administrator privileges.
    5. Check for Windows Updates:
      • Ensure your system is running the latest version of Windows by checking for updates in Settings.
    6. Rollback DLSS Version (if applicable):
      • Use tools like DLSS Swapper to revert to a stable version (e.g., 310.2.1).

    Current Status

    Capcom has acknowledged the performance issues and is expected to release patches post-launch (February 28, 2025). For now, users are advised to experiment with these workarounds or wait for official fixes.
