How to Fix Monster Hunter Wilds Not Starting

Encountering trouble launching Monster Hunter Rise on your PC? Don't worry, you're not alone. This visually stunning game sometimes presents launch issues. Here's how to troubleshoot:

Troubleshooting Monster Hunter Rise Launch Issues on PC

If Monster Hunter Rise refuses to start, even via Steam, try these solutions:

  • Restart Steam: A simple restart often resolves the problem. Completely close Steam (end the process), then relaunch and try again. This might require a few attempts.

  • Delete Crash Reports: Navigate to the game's installation directory on your PC. Delete the files CrashReport.exe and CrashReportDLL.dll. Try launching the game again.

  • Reinstall the Game: If the above steps fail, reinstalling Monster Hunter Rise is the next step. A fresh installation might resolve underlying file corruption. Contacting Capcom support for further assistance is also an option.

  • System Issues: The problem might stem from your PC's configuration. If reinstalling doesn't work, consider investigating potential system conflicts.

  • Awaiting a Patch: Widespread launch issues often require a patch from Capcom. If the problem is widespread, patience may be required while they address the issue.
