Wild Hearts players jumping in to the game during its Early Access period have reportedly been facing a number of issues, including performance stutters and distracting visual glitches. As the game is only now around the cusp of release, players enrolled in Xbox Game Pass Ultiamte and EA Play happen to be able to go through the first 10 hours of gameplay for a few days.
While this has ensured that they go through the game’s unique take on monster hunting, it's also revealed resolution issues, frequent stuttering, and other visual glitches. According to Eurogamer, even robust PC hardware struggles with the game. Writer Matt Wales reported seeing these complaints ‘first-hand’, despite playing the sport on a PC with an RTX 3070 video card.
Users on Reddit have further identified difficulties with the game looking fuzzy and blurry, HDR-related graphical issues on PS5, non-functional graphics settings, reflection issues, crashes, colours being beaten up, along with a variety of other bugs.
It’s clear the issues are widespread, as game developer Omega Force has come to Reddit to promise an incoming fix designed to ease the game’s many performance challenges.
‘Omega Force will work continuously to enhance performance and optimise the sport for a wide selection of hardware specs across future updates,’ the developer confirmed. ‘We have a patch coming next week that addresses a CPU bottleneck problem the team discovered; this will improve performance across mid-high end CPU's. The team are also actively working on DLSS and FSR support which will get to the next patch.’
PC players who are experiencing significant issues should submit their dxdiag data towards the Wild Hearts support team for more investigation.
For now, they continues working on a major performance update for the game, prone to land in the coming weeks. Those interested in Wild Hearts can already jump into the action via EA Play and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate – or purchase it outright from 17 February 2023.
