The latest update for Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, version 1.3, introduces several performance optimizations and crash fixes aimed at improving gameplay for users across a wide range of hardware. Notably, Low Latency Mode is no longer turned on by default and supersampling resolution limits have been adjusted to prevent unintended frame drops. Players with lower-end GPUs should see improved stability thanks to new VRAM-saving measures.
This patch also addresses content distribution errors for Standard and Deluxe Edition players. Those who purchased the Deluxe Edition must now reclaim their rewards at the donation box in Reverent Temple. Additionally, all players will receive the game’s Original Soundtrack DLC for free as compensation. A rebalance of landmine encounters in Chapter 2 has also been implemented to enhance gameplay fairness.
