Developed and published by Capcom, Monster Hunter Wilds is the latest action role-playing game. This game has already entered Steam’s top 10 list, however, like any other modern online game, MHW also has some unexpected errors and glitches that disrupt the overall gaming fun. One of the common errors faced by many players is the “Anti Tamper” error. In this guide, we will learn what this specific error indicates and what steps you should take to resolve it.
How to Fix Monster Hunter Wilds Anti Tamper Error
In online games including Monster Hunter Wilds, an “Anti-tamper” error indicates that a system or game has detected an attempt to modify or alter its data in an unauthorized way. However, some players report that they encounter this error even when they haven’t made any such modifications. Well, try all of the methods stated here to fix this error.
1. Repair Game Files
One of the first things you should do is to repair game files. Any missing or corrupted game files can cause this error. Here is how you can verify the integrity of game files. Go to Steam Library >> Right-click on the game >> Properties >> Local Files >> Verify integrity of game files. Once the scanning process is done, relaunch the game and check if the error is fixed.
2. Restart PC and Steam
This is a simple and quick workaround but worked for many players so give it a try. Close Steam and ensure it is not functioning even in the background, shut down your PC, and then restart both of them. This will clear corrupted temporary files and refresh the system process. Once done, relaunch the game and the error should be fixed now.
3. Close Denuvo
The anti-tamper error sometimes appears because of the Denuvo. For those who don’t know about Denuvo, it is anti-piracy software that can trigger this error in case some software is running in the background. If that is the case, do this:
- Open Task Manager by pressing Ctrl + Alt + Del
- Look for and close the following types of software:
- Game overlays (Discord, MSI Afterburner, Rivatuner, GeForce Experience)
- Cheat tools (even unrelated ones)
- Debugger software (like Cheat Engine or Process Hacker)
- Once done, restart Steam and relaunch the game.
4. Disable Anti-Virus Software
Anti-virus programs and software are necessary for your system as they protect your PC from viruses and malware. However, it may interfere with the smooth functionality of the game on your system. So, try disabling your anti-virus program temporarily and check if the error is gone.
