The developer also shared which problems it’s currently handling, and the list is quite vast for an online game of this scope.After downloadingWuthering Waves, players can encounter errors such as the “login timeout” that stops players from logging in based on their network provider, an error preventing players from performing age authentication if their mobile phone is in night mode, and a significant issue related to Unreal Engine 4 where it either shows an error message while loading splash screens or simply crashes the player’s game.
Other errors are more about the game’s quality, such as the localization or animation glitches. However, the most critical ones are related to performance issues, including freezes, frame rate drops, device overheating, or force quits. Any visual problem becomes minor compared to issues that prevent someone from playing the game at all.Wuthering Waveshad been experiencing problemseven before its release when players tried to redeem gift codes on the game’s official website but couldn’t.
Kuro Games' announcement has left some fans hopeful that these issues will be promptly resolved. Still, it isn’t a good first impression forWuthering Waves.

All players can do now is wait and see if the developer will fix the issues in a timely manner.
