For clarity, I think Palworld is not the developer of MHW? It's just a bunch of people calling out to go play the new game, so some companies are just giving everyone the day off.
- Yeah, this is about the dev team behind Palworld (Pocketpair) giving their team the day off to play the new Monster Hunter game
  
  Palworld sure knows how to keep their name in the headline tbh
  Giving people a day off is always respect either way, even if management wants to turn into online shill op
  
  Nice change from the "I don't care if he's dead maam he should be here and coding" stunts other software companies usually pulls.
- So, you're saying this article is both a complete waste of readers' time AND a lukewarm shite ordered by mgmt to meet quota, keeping their owners "in the news"?
  Hunh. That tracks.
  
  I read it as more of a funny piece of news showing the end result of gamers calling out sick to play a new game en masse.
  
  Jeez you're really stretching to make this funny little story into something negative.
  
  Who hurt you?

MHW pc version is atrocious. I have 32gb ram and a 2070, runs at 50fps on lowest settings while looking like ass
World both ran better and looked better, it's amazing how a company can backtrack on progress so easily
- It could definitely use some optimization. I’m getting 50-70FPS with a 9900k and a 3070ti. Graphics on high, with DLSS. We’ll see how it goes. It’s very playable but I’d love to see 90+FPS like I’m used to.
- I have seen a comment somewhere which said that the monster hunter wilds on the lowest setting runs worse than Cyberpunk 2077 with psycho rtx. While looking like a game released in 2012.
- For me it's unplayable. It runs fine but so many textures are just flickering the whole time. I requested a refund and I'll wait to find out if the problems are fixed. I had to run the game in Windows 8 compatability mode or it would crash on startup too. My drivers are all up to date it just sucks it runs like ass.
- Edit: The game is gorgeous for me, I'm not surprised older builds are struggling. I didn't mean to be a dick about it.
- I was very confused for a second because of the acronym. It doesn't run well for me, also on a 2070, but it's light years ahead of the open beta, in my experience.
  Hopefully they fix all the bullshit that's slowing our machines down. I believe World also had a pretty bad launch, but I didn't play it until Iceborne released. And yeah, World runs beautifully on my hardware as well.

Hehe, nice to see some happy news 😊

I'm feeling unwell that the game won't run for me
- I have a 12 year old laptop and 10 year old pc (moderate even by that standard), I'm sure these games won't run for me.
