Black Myth Wukong Patch Notes: Wukong has just released its latest update, version 1.0.8.14860, and it brings a variety of fixes aimed at enhancing the overall player experience. While the patch notes may appear brief, the changes they bring are significant, addressing some critical issues players have encountered since the game’s launch. Let’s dive into the details of this new update and what it means for players.
Major Fixes and Improvements
The Black Myth: Wukong update 1.0.8.14860 primarily focuses on fixing hardware and mechanical issues that have been affecting gameplay. Here are the major updates included in this patch:
- Crash Fixes: The update addresses several crash issues that have been causing frustration for players. One notable fix prevents crashes when enabling AMD’s Fidelity FX Super Resolution (FSR) during startup or the prologue. Additionally, players using NVIDIA Full Ray Tracing in certain areas of the Webbed Hollow should no longer experience crashes. This is a welcome improvement for players looking to experience the game’s graphics at their best without the fear of sudden game stoppages.
- Bug Fixes: Various bugs that impacted gameplay mechanics have also been addressed. These fixes ensure that the game runs smoothly and that characters and enemies behave as expected. For instance, the patch resolves issues where hair would stretch abnormally, certain enemies could get stuck in motion, and the main character, the Destined One, could become unresponsive or stuck while performing actions like “Whirling Thrusts in Thrust Stance.”
- Localization and Translation Enhancements: The update also brings numerous improvements to the game’s localization and translation efforts. It adds translations for Portraits, song titles, and lyrics in several languages, optimizing existing translations and correcting display errors in English lyrics. Additionally, the translation of Talents, Equipment, Inventory, loading screen tips, and subtitles has been optimized for better clarity across various languages.
A Notable Nerf to Yaoguai King “Captain Wise-Voice”
One of the most talked-about changes in this patch is the nerf to the boss Yaoguai King “Captain Wise-Voice.” Known for being a tough opponent in Chapter 3, Captain Wise-Voice has been a roadblock for many players due to his high resistance to damage and complex attack patterns. The latest patch has “slightly reduced” his stats, which should make the battle more manageable for those who have been struggling to defeat him.
Addressing Platform-Specific Issues
The update also highlights some platform-specific issues that have been identified and are being worked on:
- Turkish Language Crash Issue: On both the PS5 and PC versions of the game, setting the system language to Turkish has been causing crashes. On PS5, this issue occurs at launch, while on PC, it can happen during certain boss fights. As a temporary workaround, players are advised to change the console or Windows display language to English or another language. The developers are aware of this issue and are actively working on a fix for an upcoming patch.
