The black screen error is a common bug in the PC version of Monster Hunter Wilds that occurs while loading the game.

This error can occur anytime between when you are trying to create a character to when you are loading into the game's world.

Potential fix for the Monster Hunter Wilds black screen error

The best fix for the black screen error is to simply turn off any upscaling features, such as the NVidia DLSS, Intel XeSS, or AMD FSR on your PC. Many hunters in various forums have reported that doing so has fixed the error and they were able to play the game afterwards.

To turn off upscaling and fix the Monster Hunter Wilds black screen error, follow the given steps:

• In the main menu, open Settings and go to the Graphics tab
• Scroll down till you come across the option, Upscaling (Super-Resolution Imaging)
• Disable it and the error should likely be fixed.

This will cost you the quality of performance a bit, as doing so will disable the super-resolution that gives you a frame boost.
