Even though “Monster Hunter: Wilds” triggered the “Polygon Hunter” meme on the PC platform during this open beta, it still set a brilliant peak player record on Steam. Interestingly, this wave of graphics cards broke. Amid the disaster, the game’s most popular NPC, “Gemma”, sparked heated discussion among gentleman players.
Gemma is a member of the Blacksmith Guild who travels with the protagonist’s Hunter Investigation Team in “Monster Hunter Wilds”. Her blond-haired character design, full of power and beauty, was very popular during the game’s promotion in June this year. According to many player reports, in this Wave PC version of “Polygon” rendering disaster, only Gemma seems to be unaffected.

Gemma The Chosen One

However, in fact, Gemma is also a victim of this wave of PC performance optimization disaster, and she is not the chosen one.
According to reports from Japanese players, when the VRAM of the graphics card is insufficient, Gemma may still turn into a polygonal NPC, and in low-poly modules, Gemma looks like she is not wearing underwear.
Wilds couldn’t do it properly. I’ll buy a new PC.

In fact, some players have reported this situation in the discussion forum. According to overseas players (X), even if the character model is normal, the texture of the clothes may be wrong, which causes Gemma to appear in some cases. The “naked” body is exposed.
According to the Steam configuration requirements, whether the graphics card of “Monster Hunter Wilds” is an N card or an A card, the minimum required VRAM is at least 6GB. Therefore, under this wave of OBT tests, many PC players whose performance did not meet the standard saw incredible things.
Of course, exposure caused by incorrect NPC textures has also become a joke for players to discuss the “official death-killing module”. After all, as long as a game produced by Capcom is launched on the PC, it is the time for various module developers to show off their skills.
The OBT test of “Monster Hunter Wilds” on Xbox and Steam is now open. The test period is from 11:00 on November 1 to 11:00 on November 4, Taiwan time. “Monster Hunter Wilds” will be launched on Steam and Xbox on February 28, 2025. Series X/S and PS5 platforms.
