mangohud obs-gamecapture gamemoderun %command%
Slight performance degredation in windowed borderless if I leave and return by clicking, I need to alt tab back in to get back to stable performance. I don't think this is game related though.
Performance drops sind definitv schuld des Spieles.

Upgrading my GPU driver to the latest version fixed the issues I had.
The game runs quite smoothly on my hardware on custom (low-ish) settings.
Additionally, I use the following mods but haven't tried to measure the perfs impact:

Works comparatively well with Windows. The game is not well optimised, but with enough tinkering you can at least reduce the overhead the game generates
Runs out of the box but very poorly optimized.
Higher resolution textures take a long time to load in.
Framerate drops significantly during weather phases with increased foliage. Average 80-90 FPS in normal weather, 40-50 during special weather.
Game froze requiring PC restart; occurred three times over 40 hours of gameplay.
Similar performance as reported on Windows, for better or for worse.
Runs great with no tinkering, just enable steam input and compatbility, download and play pretty much.
X-input devices, simply dont work well under linux
Game simply doesnt run well, not linux fault...
gamemoderun RADV_PERFTEST=gpl %command%
Sometimes texture stretching appears for a moment or stays to a model until you restart the game
Crashes with amdvlk consistently on starting, triggers a GPU reset Uninstalling it worked for me
Things feel pretty inconsistent, graphics drivers make a pretty notable difference, running 570 really helped with stability.

Artifacts in Plains and thats it.
Generally inconsistent with FPS, with framegen it can hover around 80 but some days I launch and we are hitching a lot at 60. Reboot tends to fix
Spent a lot of time tourbleshooting this and getting it to run well for me. FPS seems pretty low for the overall complexity of the game but everybody knows that. Minor artifacts in the plains but nowhere else frankly. Stability issues when I was running on Nvidia 550 drivers, upgrading to 570 brought a significant boost to performance and stability. Beyond that the game has been generally enjoyable, it takes a second to really warm up and feel stable but It works well enough for me. Main qualm is that any update that happens requires me to update the shader cache and I've spent a few hours at that screen just waiting. At least it launches and runs though =)
Occasional texture stretching and model spiking
Stuttering when DLSS Frame Gen is enabled
Occasional disconnects from sessions
Worked well after I realized mangohud was causing it to crash
Frame Gen caused crashing near the end of chapter 3 was fine before that
- Change kernel.
- Change GPU driver (Mesa)
I had trouble replacing my graphics card RX 7600 XT with RX 9070.
- Kernel 6.11 (Ubuntu default) with Mesa downloaded from AMD website (24.30.4) : Any game I have in Steam cannot boot.
- Kernel 6.11 with Mesa from kisak ppa (25.0.2) : The game becomes bootable but screen occasionally terns mono-green then I cannot play even sounds still output.
- Kernel 6.14 with Mesa from kisak ppa (25.0.2) : The game finally becomes stable.
I use Steam launcher installed with apt due to DRM issue has happened with the snap version.
mangohud %command%
Utilizing LACT program and Optimizer mod helped with Stablizing the Frametime, FPS, Core/Vram Clock and helped with using Frame Gen finally. With LACT i set it to Power Saving in the Performance mode for my GPU. I set my Maximum Core Clock to 2600, Max Vram Clock to 2200, Minimum Core Clock to 1800 and my Minimum Vram Clock to 1700. I did raise my Voltage about 15, but other then those being changed. I figured the game was trying to push the gpu on its clock rates without consulting the gpu itself. I went from crashing every 10-20 minutes to not having a single crash after 4-6 hours of playtime each session. Mileage will vary person to person, but what i did has helped stopped me from crashing often to having no crashes.
gamescope -h 1440 -r 144 -f -e -- gamemoderun %command%
Every once in a while, the game stutters for a second. Thankfully, this seems infrequent, maybe once every 2 hours or so.
With these settings, it plays the same on both Windows and Linux, minus the occasional (every other hour) stutters
The performance issues are gone! Everything's running wonderfully! For those using Nvidia on linux, I recommend checking this out.

https://steamcommunity.com/app/2246340/discussions/0/596268134575452196/ I followed that article, used proton 9.0-4 and Proveil shaders. It's the best the game has ever run with all my testing! I hope this helps! 💜
At the level of playablity it is at after tinkering, it is a much more enjoyable experience. I think that it needs significant optimization.

As others have done, I used Nexus Mods to install Reframework and update the Direct Storage version.
Before any modifications, there would be a large black box in the opening sequence. It seemed that after updating Direct Storage, this was fixed.
In order to escape from the window, I have to activate Steam Overlay. I'm on Hyprland, which may have caused this issue.
Before VKD3D_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=VK_NV_low_latency2 there would be significant frame timing issues. It did not entirely get rid of them, so I had to cap the framerate to 30-45 FPS and use Frame gen.
RADV_PERFTEST=gpl gamemoderun %command% /WineDetectionEnabled:False
Breakdown of Launch Options (it will play with just Proton Experimental and no launch options but these improve visuals and performance):
RADV_PERFTEST=gpl - is modern replacement for DXVK_ASYNC=1 on modern Mesa (for radeon gpus) removes a lot of the model load stutter that is present in gameplay
gamemoderun - enabling gamemoderun, better perf settings and pauses system sleep
%command% - executes game
/WineDetectionEnabled:False - this disables WINE detection which allows for using Ray Tracing (disabled by default for https://github.com/HansKristian-Work/vkd3d-proton/issues/2331). Side effect of this is the game says it's no longer on an SSD (incorrect) but runs just fine with the RADV_PERFTEST setting to fix the additional stutter it induces
Game settings are mostly all high/ultra with motion blur off and Ray Tracing on Medium
It was a hassle to get it to even start with Intel Arc, but seems to be generally playable now, at the lowest settings.
MANGOHUD_CONFIG=gpu_mem_clock,ram,cpu_temp,gpu_temp,position=top-right,background_alpha=0.5 mangohud gamemoderun %command%
https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterwilds/mods/91?tab=files
Lowering the settings is necessary to start the game, and installing the optimized config is necessary to lower the settings :D
Getting under 30 FPS at medium settings (no frame gen). Unsure whether this is due to the generally poor optimization of the game or Intel Arc drivers - Probably a mixture of both.
Switching to Proton Experimental bleeding edge is required - Without it the game gets stuck at a black screen after the Capcom logo.
Trying to actually start the game will result in it freezing, if not right after pressing then at the first cutscreens. Trying to lower the graphical settings to anything below "High" -preset would also make it freeze. Installing the custom config.ini fixed that, but setting the resolution to 720p was still necessary to get past the opening cutscenes without freezing.
After getting past the opening cutscenes and the tutorial monster, I've been able to increase the settings - but only in the start menu, as doing so in game still causes it to freeze.
/WineDetectionEnabled:False %command%
Working better than on Windows for the most part. Adding /WineDetectionEnabled:False to the launch options enables ray tracing. Works for any Capcom game. I feel like running with AMDVLK has slightly better performance than the regular drivers.
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="d3dcompiler_47=n;dxgi=n,b" VKD3D_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=VK_NV_low_latency2 gamemoderun %command%
The game stutters frequently
Frequent crashes. Disabling frame gen solved the issue.
I suggest install ReShade and use "Wilds Rehydrated" to give the colors a more vibrant look (this is why I have the first argument in the command line, look for https://github.com/kevinlekiller/reshade-steam-proton). I used the config.ini from NexusMod "optimization for MonsterHunterWilds GPU AND CPU Performance FPS Optimizer". I HAD to disable frame gen, otherwise the game would frequently crash.

---> Update(!) Nvidia Driver to 570+ <---- I ran the game 100+ hours on an older driver. Updating to 570 is a game changer.
Settings: FSR3 + Frame Gen FPS capped to 45 --> Restults in ~90 Fps with FG Depending on your hardware you can max out the rest of the settings. If you drop below 90 consistent fps your PC cannot handle 45 FPS w/o FG so lower your setting
I installed following mods to enhance performance:
- RE Framework - https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterwilds/mods/93
- DirectStorage 1.2.2 Upgrade to 1.2.3 - IO Stutter Fix - https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterwilds/mods/127
- Persistent Buff Glow Removal - https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterwilds/mods/141
I manually took from setting from the following mod(it's basically a config.ini) and transfered it into my own config.ini. Make it write protected afterwards. This is ~10 fps boost https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterwilds/mods/91
First Area has some minor artifact explosions in certain areas
Sometimes the game looses focus and lags. Switching from Fullscreen to Windowed mode and back fixes this.
Same as on Windows
Frequent crashes before i updated my GPU Driver. None after updating to 570 and 50+ Hours gameplay
Once the Anti-Piracy Software is disabled this will run way better. The Game tells you often by itself and you shouldn't ignore it as me: Update your drivers
Works out of the box. No issues or crashes!
Plays perfectly fine as long as you use Proton Experimental and Gamescope based off my experience.
gamescope -w 1920 -h 1080 -f -r 144 -- %command%
UI and Graphical Resolution seemed low at first launch. Gamescope helped fix it.
Gamescope isn't needed if you don't mind the lower resolution that it may play at, otherwise, just use gamescope.
I think my freezes are due because GPU is at 100% all the time, but I'm doing on full ultra with the 4k pack on a 1440p monitor
Rare freezes and once a freeze crash where I had to force reboot
Compare to the Windows on my setup with same settings : 65 FPS on average for Windows 80 FPS on average for Linux (average 120 in base camp)
Only downside NO Raytracing available on Linux :(
Works well, has not crashed since swapping to Proton Experimental. Could perform better, but I expect it to improve.
MANGOHUD=1 gamemoderun %command%
Works fine with Frame Generation, but I would hope I would not need frame generation with a 7900 XTX
May crash occasionally depending on hardware without any tinkering. Swapping to Proton Experimental and potentially installing mesa-git will fix this.
Optimization is still pisspoor and I cant run it in 4K, but at least its running with 1 crash in over 30 hours of gameplay.
Rare crashes
Good game, but needs strong hardware to run at moderate settings.
gamescope is only needed for HDR. Works perfectly fine as long as you use proton bleeding edge.
gamescope -W 5120 -H 1440 -r 240 -o 240 --force-grab-cursor -e -f --hdr-enabled -- %command%
Crashes on regular proton every once in a while.
My internet isn't great, so some monsters would stay still momentarily
I haven't had any crashes or any other issues, barring the mouse snapping to the center of the window once every 15 seconds or so when tabbed out -- annoying when trying to use discord or my browser
VKD3D_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=VK_NV_low_latency2 %command%
WIthout adding the launch options I've added here, I was crashing about once per session. Afterwards though, it feels the exact same as playing on a Windows machine.
I will note that I tried this with an Nvidia graphics card as well on the exact same machine, and I was experiencing a ton of hitching and slowdowns whenever I entered new areas or looking that I hadn't looked at that session, not just in general. My screen was also just going to sleep in the middle of playing while using a controller, and I set my computer's screen to not go to sleep in order to fix that.
After swapping to an AMD card I haven't experienced any of that and it's been perfect.
VKD3D_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=VK_NV_low_latency2 %command% -dx11
Major Artifacting of textures, displacement of textures, resulting i
Alt-Tab often causes client hanging and/or crashing
Chugging FPS anywhere from 17 to 35 fps.
Tried on Wayland at first and game wouldnt launch at all. Now frequently crashes, explosions cause crashing, cutscenes cause crashing & texture artifacting gets so awful its impossible to navigate.
avoid for now,
I finished the main quest in about 22 hours. I didn't experience any crash during that time.
MANGOHUD=1 gamemoderun %command%
I need to activate the steam overlay to go to another window, but that might be because of my window manager. Once the steam overlay is displayed I can switch windows without issue.
The game seems quite unoptimized, but it is perfectly playable.
I didn't experience any crash or major bug. The only bug I noticed was that a few lines of dialogues (audio and subtitles) were missing in my language towards the end of the game.
The game is a bit slow on my hardware, but on medium settings (with high texture quality) and frame generation enabled it is perfectly playable. I played mostly solo, but multiplayer worked fine.
I didn't have to do any tinkering, I just installed the game through Proton Hotfix. I did not try other Proton versions.
__GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_CLEANUP=1 WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dstorage.dll,dstoragecore.dll,dinput8.dll=n,b" gamemoderun %command%
grabbed config from https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterwilds/mods/183
UI is all broken, pulling from other assets than the needed textures. Fixed with the linked mod but otherwise a bit of a pain as it makes functions like Focus Mode almost unusable.
Most areas drop the framerate to sub 30fps even with frame gen. All but needs the "lite environments" mod to function without frame gen at all.
For the absolute best results, consult this Nexus page, download the config file and any other suggested mods. Game still won't run GREAT but it runs markedly better with them. https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterwilds/mods/183
Better to either play on a proper console or a setup with a good graphics card, but this is passable if you've no other options. Prepare for input lag and lag spikes galore.

Controllers randomly disconnect
With newest Patch i have to play with low/med settings and CPU still overheats
Game crashes so often when playing with anything above medium settings since newest patch, especially with endgame/big monsters
The optimization won't get any better because of engine. Play on PS5 and save yourself a lot of nerves. Apparently the game can still get worse with patches.
LD_PRELOAD="" %command%
Around 75% of the time, it crashes my entire PC on starting the game. Sometimes it launches, and when it does, it works mostly fine, with decent performance.
If I set texture quality to HIGH, it begins memory leaking in my VRAM until it crashes. Setting texture quality to MEDIUM seems to slow this enough that I can play for hours without issue, when the game manages to start successfully.
Aside from having to restart my PC over and over to get it to launch, I have been banned for 24 hours by denuvo because it would only start in proton experimental and it keeps getting updated between my attempts to launch the game, counting against the number of machines denuvo thinks I'm running the game on. It seems to run fine on mesa 25.0.1 for me (I will use mesa git when the mesa gitlab migration ends) but getting it to launch is a nightmare and if it fails too many times, denuvo bans me from trying for 24 hours. It may be better to wait around a week for updates to make things more stable, or for mesa-git to be available again, unless you can get it elsewhere on your distro.
It's working fine right now
On launch day the game was a mess for me; it constantly crashed, I refunded it. Waitet over two Weeks for the first updates and hotfixes to come in. Tried it again a few days ago and already played around 11 hours completely crash-free and without any issues, including working multiplayer. So for me, it's working without anything bad to report, I can finally enjoy this game. :)
Initially the game would crash whilst loading into the lobby. I could avoid this by setting my graphical settings to low and then changing them after loading in. After resolving the issue this way it has not occured since.
