Capcom has issued a serious warning to Monster Hunter Wilds players regarding ongoing misconduct within the game’s online community, announcing that account suspensions began rolling out on June 5, 2025. The warning specifically targets players who have been engaging in cheating activities, including the use of modified quest data that can severely impact the gaming experience for legitimate players. This decisive action comes as the popular action RPG continues to struggle with an increasing number of players using unauthorized modifications that can render the game completely unplayable for others.
The warning extends beyond simple cheating violations to address a more concerning issue: hacked quests that contain modified data capable of corrupting other players’ save files and progress. Capcom has explicitly cautioned players to avoid joining suspicious multiplayer sessions, as participating in these modified quests can lead to game-breaking consequences. The company has provided visual guides to help players identify legitimate quests versus those that have been tampered with, emphasizing that even unknowing participation in hacked content could result in severe technical problems.
Technical Issues Compound Online Safety Concerns
Beyond the cheating epidemic, Monster Hunter Wilds has been grappling with various technical problems that have frustrated the player base. Performance issues including severe FPS drops, problems with level-of-detail rendering, and network connectivity errors have created additional challenges for players attempting to enjoy the game’s cooperative multiplayer features. Some players report experiencing frame rate drops from 50-60 FPS down to 10-20 FPS in certain areas, regardless of their hardware specifications or graphics settings.
Capcom has acknowledged these ongoing technical difficulties and promised to implement additional countermeasures to address both the cheating problem and underlying performance issues. The company’s commitment to maintaining fair play and game stability reflects the serious nature of the situation, as Monster Hunter Wilds’ reputation for challenging cooperative gameplay depends heavily on a stable, cheat-free online environment. Players are strongly advised to report suspicious activity and avoid any multiplayer sessions that seem abnormal to protect their accounts and game progress from potential corruption.
