We'll try with two mods for Monster Hunter: World, it can be done manually but it's safer with a Mod Loader. We will use MHW Mod Manager.



I can't provide a link to it due to Steam's policies, but you can just Google it or search it inside of NexusMods.

Apparently this also works with Vortex, the official NexusMods mod manager, but I use that software for games in general (along with Mod Organizer 2), so this time I guess it's better to go with a software made for this specific game, so we'll keep with MHW Mod Manager.

You can try to install mods manually, but it's easier to go with a Mod Manager as it can help you to uninstall mods easily or make an organized plugin executing order list.

These are the two main mods designed to improve performance in Monster Hunter World.

• Stracker's Loader.

• Performance Booster and Plugin Extender.

Search for both of them on NexusMods and download them.

We should obviously start with MHW Mod Manager. To install it, just follow the instructions on its NexusMods page:

You can extract the files anywhere and use it but it works best if you place them in your Monster Hunter World game folder. if you don't, you'll have to change the folder manually after loading the program up. Just make sure the ModManagerData folder stays by the program executable.

Now click on MHW_ModManager.exe and import or drag both mod files inside.



You need to select one of both mods and then click on "Install Selected Files". Then do the same thing with the other mod.



Two last things: Do this one time and it will keep working, you do not need to reopen MHW Mod Manager for it to work; and for some reason if you try to open MHW Mod Manager as admin it will not let you drag and drop any mod.

Now you can exit the program and see if MHW was successfully modded.

Previous steps should've helped, but I wanted to add some tweaks here to improve performance based on in-game settings.

• Turn Volume rendering quality to low or off.
  
  
• Turn Anti-aliasing TAA to FXAA , as TAA blurs the game heavily when in motion, adding the illusion of heavy motion blurring, and is more performance intensive than FXAA. FXAA very slightly blurs the game in general but doesn't do so anymore when in motion.
  
  
• Shadow quality and Volumetric rendering in this game are heavily bad optimized.
  
  
• Try limiting your framerate. MHW has issues with CPU threading so capping the framerate at 60 could be helpful in some ways.
  
  
• Reduce Z-pass to low, it is the setting for the quality of texture diffusion when it turn semi-transparent.
  
  
• If you think that limiting your framerate does nothing, try setting your FPS Cap to unlimited and Vsync to Off. Go to your Nvidia Control Panel and turn the Vsync on for Monster Hunter World. Then run the game in Full Screen to reduce the stuttering.

When this game released for PC, people were having problems with newer Nvidia drivers. This might not be useful right now, but I think it's interesting to note that people were backtracking to 398.36 drivers.

We also had a mod called Special K published by a Steam user called Kaldaien, but it does not work anymore. If you're interested, here's a link to its Discussion Forums page.

Both mods worked for me, apparently for a lot of people too. Stracker's Loader was recently updated, so it seems to have not been forgotten.

Enjoy your hunt!
