Monster Hunter Wilds (MHW) Ultrawide Mod: How to install it
One of the best solutions for enabling ultrawide support in Monster Hunter Wilds is the REFramework mod. Originally designed for tweaking various aspects of Capcom’s RE Engine games, this mod includes a built-in ultrawide fix that properly scales the game’s visuals and UI for wider aspect ratios. Below, we’ve broken down the steps on exactly how to download, install, and configure REFramework for Monster Hunter Wilds.
How to install and use the mod?
- Download REFramework: Open your web browser and go to the official REFramework GitHub page. Make sure to look for the latest available version of the mod. Download the file named MHWILDS.zip (this is the version specifically for Monster Hunter Wilds). Click here to download.
