The mystery surrounding the PC performance issues of Monster Hunter: World may have been solved.

A tweet by @Pirat_Nation suggests that the game utilizes three different DRM systems on PC: two instances of Denuvo anti-tamper tech, alongside Capcom's proprietary anti-tamper system.

The tweet references a widely discussed Reddit screenshot indicating Capcom's anti-tamper technology, not Denuvo, as the primary culprit behind the frequent stuttering and performance drops.

Denuvo is a common DRM solution, and many games utilizing it at launch don't experience significant performance impacts on PC.

This has led to confusion among players, who question the need for Capcom's additional anti-tamper layer on top of Denuvo.

Speculation on Reddit suggests this extra layer could be intended to prevent modding or perhaps protect the game's character customization voucher system from piracy.
