Restart Steam
Many players who preloaded the game need to wait for the decompression installation. If you still cannot access the game, try restarting Steam. This will certainly allow you to perform the Day One update, and once updated, you will be able to enter the game.
Update HD Texture Pack
Updating the HD texture pack is another method to resolve the issue of not being able to enter the game.
Verify Game Integrity
In Steam, right-click on the game, go to Properties, then Installed Files, and select Verify Integrity of Game Files.
Compatibility Settings
In Steam, right-click on the game, go to Manage, and browse local files.

Clear Download Cache
In Steam, click on the Settings option in the upper left corner, then navigate to Downloads and select Clear Download Cache.
Slow Extraction Speed
For many players who pre-loaded the game, you may need to wait for the game to extract and install after unlocking, but the extraction speed can be very slow. Open Task Manager by right-clicking the taskbar at the bottom of your desktop, then select Task Manager > More Details. Find Steam.exe, right-click it and set the priority to Real-time to speed up the extraction process.
Shader Compiler Crashes / Automatic Exit After Shader Compilation
If you encounter crashes related to shader compilation, consider checking your graphics drivers or verifying the game files through Steam.
Method 1: Adjust Power Settings
For laptops, go to the Control Panel and change the power option from Balanced to Power Saver. For desktops, try restarting your computer.
Method 2: Optimize Memory Usage
It might be due to insufficient video memory. Use the Memory Cleanup Tool in Dolphin for Monster Hunter Wilds and close unnecessary software. Also, delete any shader files that reported errors during testing.
Method 3: Check GPU Overclocking
Is your graphics card previously under volted or overclocked? Try reverting to the factory voltage and frequency settings. Alternatively, try disabling game++.
Method 4: Update Graphics Drivers
Refer to the methods mentioned above for steps on updating your graphics drivers.
Game Crashing Directly
If it's a laptop, switch the graphics card connector to direct mode. For desktops, disable the integrated graphics and switch to the dedicated graphics card. The reason is that the game might be recognizing the integrated graphics as the main GPU, which may cause compatibility issues. Disabling it solves the problem.
AMD Graphics Card Issues
Game Not Starting / Unsupported GPU
Method 1: Try deleting the crashreport exe and dll files from the game's root directory (if this fails, proceed to Method 2).
Method 2: For laptops, switch the graphics card connector to direct mode. For desktops, disable the integrated graphics and switch to the dedicated graphics card (if this fails, proceed to Method 3).
Method 3: If all else fails, update your Windows 10 system to the latest 22H2 version.
