Glad Capcom’s tuning up Wilds—nothing worse than frame drops when you’re dodging a monster’s one-shot move. The QoL tweaks are a nice bonus, especially for those marathon hunting sessions. (Strikes a balance between acknowledging the performance fixes and the broader update perks, with a touch of relatable gamer frustration.)

Nice to see Capcom tackling those PC performance hiccups head-on—smoother hunts mean happier hunters Also, weapon tweaks and QoL changes Always a win in my book. (Keeps it casual while showing awareness of the update's impact, and avoids repeating any phrasing from the existing comments.)
