Monster Hunter Wilds has arrived, but not all fans are happy with the new action RPG from Capcom – or, more specifically, with its "ridiculously poorly built UI."
As any big release goes, Monster Hunter Wilds has been met with both praise and criticism, with the latter coming alongside feedback regarding everything from poor performance issues to what players are dubbing "the worst pop-up menu in the game." A recent Reddit thread highlights complaints of the latter nature, which refers to the arguably unnecessary menus that pop up notifying players that their item pouch is full.
"This is the worst pop-up menu in the game," writes the poster. "Please just automatically send the item when I'm full. Why do I have to go through 2 menus, press 3 buttons, all while my entire view is obscured?" Attached alongside the text are screenshots showing the menus – and as a player myself, I'm inclined to agree that they're, at the least, annoying. I'm not the only one who thinks the same as the OP, though.

"The fact these 2 menus made it through play testing is astounding," comments one fan. "The menus and UI in this game are so ridiculously poorly built," adds another. Elsewhere in the replies, one player offers a solution – a fan-made mod. "There's a mod that fixes that," reveals the helpful commenter, advising others to "search for 'Skip Pouch Replace Prompt' on Nexus Mods." According to the wise user, the mod is "a life changer."
It seems PC players have saved the day again, just as they recently did with the mod that lets you change your character's appearance without paying for DLC – another must-have for fans looking to make their time in Capcom's new game more comfortable. The studio itself is also working on its first free update, cooking to bring fresh content and some behemoth beasts to what our own Monster Hunter Wilds review calls "the new peak of the series."
