Following its launch on July 24 across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers has received a largely positive reception for its dark historical setting and soulslike gameplay. However, the release has not been without technical complications. Players have reported issues ranging from input latency and visual glitches to crashes and performance slowdowns. In response, the developers have shared a detailed list of known issues and how users can troubleshoot or resolve them.

Whether you are struggling with screen tearing on PC or encountering crashes during shader compilation, the support team has provided comprehensive steps across platforms. Below is a breakdown of all currently known issues and the recommended solutions, as outlined on the game’s official support page.

List of Known Issues and Fixes for Wuchang: Fallen Feathers

1. Screen Tearing or High Input Latency (PC and Consoles)

• Enable V-Sync and disable Low Latency Mode to address screen tearing.
• If experiencing high input latency, try enabling both V-Sync and Low Latency Mode simultaneously.
• On modern televisions, input delay may be unrelated to the game. Check the TV’s settings and enable any dedicated gaming mode.

2. Sharpening Visuals on PS5 or Xbox Series X|S

• Console players can increase clarity by adjusting the Sharpening option found in the in-game Settings menu.

3. Crashes, Freezes, or Black Screens

• Restart your system and close unnecessary background software.
• Update your GPU drivers using a clean installation to remove corrupted shader caches.
• Use the file verification tools provided by your digital store (Steam, Epic, or Microsoft Store).
• In Settings > Graphics Details, disable Frame Generation and switch to DLSS or TSR under Super-Resolution options.
• Ensure Windows is up to date, as outdated versions may cause compatibility issues.

4. Low Frame Rates or Choppy Gameplay

• Install the game on an SSD for improved load times and smoother performance.
• Update graphics drivers to the latest version.
• Enable Frame Generation if supported, although low-end GPUs or high-resolution setups may yield mixed results.
• Lower graphics settings such as Oversampling Resolution, Global Illumination, Shadow Quality, and Texture Quality.
• Close memory-intensive programs such as antivirus software or video players.
• Adjust visual effects like Reflection Quality, Volumetric Fog, and Oversampling Resolution based on your hardware capacity.

5. Issues After Enabling DLSS Frame Generation

• If you encounter screen tearing, low FPS, or stuttering with DLSS Frame Generation, enable Vertical Sync through the NVIDIA Control Panel for better compatibility with the game’s V-Sync.

6. DLSS Frame Generation Unavailable (Greyed Out)

• Confirm whether your RTX GPU supports DLSS Frame Generation (only RTX 40/50 series cards support DLSS 3/4).
• On Windows 10, enable Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling:
  1. Go to Windows Settings > System > Display > Graphics Settings.
  2. Enable Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling and restart your PC.
  3. Relaunch the game to check if DLSS Frame Generation becomes accessible.
• Update your GPU driver and Windows to the latest version if the issue persists.

7. Crashes During Shader Compilation

• Update GPU drivers and clear the shader cache:
  • For NVIDIA users: Open NVIDIA Control Panel → Manage 3D Settings → Set Shader Cache Size to Unlimited or Disabled.
  • For AMD users: Use AMD Radeon Software → Settings > Graphics > Reset Shader Cache.
• Do not multitask or switch windows during the shader compilation process.
• Intel 13th and 14th Gen CPUs may experience issues during this phase. Update your motherboard BIOS and consult Intel or your system manufacturer for support if the problem continues.

8. Stuttering or Launch Failures After an Update

• Use the built-in file verification tools on Steam, Epic Games Store, or Microsoft Store to repair any corrupted files following an update.
