So, you finally sit down to play Monster Hunter Wilds, ready to hunt some monsters, and instead, you’re greeted with "Something went wrong." Not very helpful, right? If the game won’t let you in, don’t worry—here is how to fix the error and get back in the game.

1. Check Your Internet Connection

Yes, it’s the most basic fix, but you’d be surprised how often this is the problem.

  • If you’re on Wi-Fi, try switching to a wired connection.

  • Restart your router if needed.

  • If all else fails, do the classic "turn it off and on again" for both your internet and your device.

2. Verify Game Files on Steam (PC Only)

If you preloaded the game, some files might be broken. Steam can fix that for you.

  1. Open Steam and go to your Library.

  2. Right-click Monster Hunter Wilds and select Properties.

  3. Click Installed Files.

  4. Select Verify integrity of game files.

  5. Wait for the process to finish, then restart the game.

If Steam finds anything broken, it’ll fix it automatically.

3. Update Your Drivers (PC Only)

Outdated graphics drivers can cause issues. To check for updates:

  • If you have an NVIDIA GPU, open GeForce Experience and update drivers.

  • If you have an AMD GPU, use AMD Adrenalin Software to update.

After updating, restart your PC before launching the game again.

4. Delete the Crash Report

Sometimes, deleting an old Crash Report can fix the issue.

  1. Open Steam and go to your Library.

  2. Right-click Monster Hunter Wilds and select Properties.

  3. Click Installed Files, then select Browse.

  4. Find the CrashReport folder with the Capcom logo and delete it.

Now, relaunch the game and see if that worked.

5. Contact Capcom Support

If nothing else works, it’s time to wave the white flag and contact Capcom Support. If the error is affecting multiple players, they might already be working on a fix.

Final Thoughts

Most of the time, verifying game files or restarting your internet will fix the issue. If not, updating drivers or deleting the crash report should do the trick. If nothing works, blame the monsters.
