Monster Hunter Wilds is the latest open-world title from CAPCOM that uses the RE Engine just like last year’s Dragon Dogma 2. Similar to Dragon’s Dogma 2, Monster Hunter Wilds isn’t exactly doing well in terms of performance, whether you’re playing on PC or console.
The PC version has tons of settings to adjust with detailed information about the visual and performance impact. However, the ultrawide support is a bit lacking and only supports the 21:9 aspect ratio. Thankfully, praydog has released a new version REFramework that addresses this lack of proper ultrawide support in Monster Hunter Wilds.
Fixing the Monster Hunter Wilds Ultrawide Grey Bars Issue
If you’re playing Monster Hunter Wilds at anything other than 21:9, there will be grey bars at the side of the screen. This can be fixed using the latest nightly version of REFramework created by the talented praydog. Like with previous RE Engine releases, REFramework gives players more control over the game including camera adjustments and access to these scripts.
This should dynamically fix the ultrawide issue, and you can further adjust the FOV to your liking once enabled. Previously, there was a crash occurring every hour or so with REFramework active, but praydog has since addressed that in the latest nightly version, which we have linked above.

There is a lot more you can adjust with REFramework like gain access to the free cam, but make sure you only use what you need. If you want to delete the REFramework tool from Monster Hunter Wilds, simply remove thedinput8.dllfile from the Monster Hunter Wilds installation folder.
you may further improve your Monster Hunter Wilds experience byreducing the overall blur, orinstalling the high resolution texture packprovided you have a powerful GPU.
