Great results using decompressed textures here - no more GPU/CPU spiking when spinning cam.
This is on a 5090 and 9800X3D, and running the decompressed high res texture pack (fully loaded via hardlinking method found here: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/... )

regarding what precisely about the directstorage/decompression is causing the stutters. The high res pack in particular is also affected by how Capcom is loading it, again according to Kaldaien

There's some important misses in the video unfortunately - not sure how @dachsjaeger.bsky.social was running his setup with Special K, but it's actually been extremely difficult for people to get GPU decompression to run on the GPU in Wilds for a long time now.
This was from April 2025:

#MHWilds is beautiful. Took this screenshot in game, no additional filters or editing at all, and now it's my desktop wallpaper.

Also, Scarlet Forest is my favourite zone and the next two mons being there is good news :D

There will be 5090FE performance testing with Monster Hunter Wilds 👀

Extremely hyped to see how it is!

Hunters planning on using two Insect Glaives for their weapon choices in #MonsterHunterWilds be like

Stills of the bush where it gets briefly turned into a weird pattern

It's so oddly subtle due to its fade in and out that at first I thought maybe it was my eyes tricking me, then peered more closely at the screen and there it was

The new DLSS Transform model, used in FFXIV, creates some interesting quirks outside of an otherwise exceptional image

Look at this zoomed in bush in motion, and how it also fades back to reality after stopping, gradually.

Really interesting quirk! (bsky compression pls 🙏)

An image taken from Dragon's Dogma 2, running upscaled to 4K from a 1080p image using the new DLSS4 model

Unbelievable

Looks like how it used to with native res DLAA modded on...

1 0 8 0 p !!!!

Yeah literally just saw this

😩

Tokuda Yuya, director of Monster Hunter Wilds, states in an IGN interview a HUGE change to how Monster Hunter hitboxes are working with monsters.

No more spheres and cylinders - hitboxes should be much more accurate to the actual monsters!

Excellent *actual* Black Friday Amazon UK deal for Switch owners. Lowest price it's ever been.

Not my photo (long lost my copy of this), but this WD I got as the 'choose one WD from the shelf for free' with the starter deal at my local store.

Was completely enamoured with it, imagine my delight when later getting the Codex with the same art but that shiny hard cover and nice print!

You will also be able to change your hunter and/or palico name when using a character edit voucher in #MonsterHunterWilds, unlike Monster Hunter World

#MHWilds lobbies up to 100 people!? According to the official site

Rompopolo Lance spotted!
Sick syringe weapon and its face (see the beak and eyeball) as the shield, #MHWilds designs going very hard!

Re. Monster Hunter Wilds October 23rd new information showcase

"There will be approximately 10 minutes of new information and news that we're looking forward to sharing with you! See you there, hunters!"

10 minutes is a lot longer than any of the existing trailers...
HMMM
