Monster Hunter Wilds PC players are complaining about issues with unpacking on Steam. Some are complaining about how long it is taking to complete the process, while others are running into errors. This can be especially frustrating since they have preloaded the game and have been patiently waiting for Monster Hunter Wilds to come live on PC. Some players are also facing the error “Unable to Connect to Server” meanwhile, likely owing to approx 800k players (at the time of writing) on Steam jumping into the game.

So what do we know about this problem and can we do something to speed up the process?

Monster Hunter Wilds Unpacking Error Explored

Given that the Monster Hunter Wilds unpacking issues are strictly to do with your hardware, these are a couple of things you can do to hopefully speed up the process:

  • Open Task Manager to check applications or processes that are taking up a large amount of available CPU, RAM, and Disk. If some other process is hogging this, it can adversely impact how quickly Steam is able to unpack Monster Hunter Wilds on your PC. Consider shutting down such processes so that the unpacking process can have the lion’s share of the available computational power.
  • Restart your computer. While you can first try restarting Steam too, we suggest restarting your entire PC. Once your PC boots up again, quickly open Steam to start up the unpacking process. Keep a close eye on whether any other application or process starts taking a toll on CPU/RAM.
