The Monster Hunter Wilds beta isn't looking so hot, but Capcom says the full game 'is already in a more improved state'

An NPC from the Monster Hunter Wilds beta who's been turned into a lo-poly nightmare by a graphics issue.

As a card-carrying MonHun sicko, it brings me no joy to say this: The Monster Hunter Wilds beta doesn't bode well for a smooth launch.

Considering it's attracting hundreds of thousands of players, the beta's certainly enjoying plenty of attention. Unfortunately, that attention hasn't been entirely positive. Players aren't having the peachiest time once they've entered the Forbidden Lands for their demo hunts: Hunters have been reporting widespread performance struggles, while seemingly bugged LOD (level of detail) transitions are leaving their games populated with ghastly lo-poly NPCs and monster models that look straight out of a PS1 game.
