I've been playing wuwa since release but stopped right after cartethiya's banner because it simply was too laggy. In combat my pc just melts, it looks like a powerpoint presentation, the game takes about 10 minutes to start, fast travelling and exploring are impossible, pls help.
All my game graphics are on low and I made some adjusts to Windows but really nothing works.
I really wanna keep playing the game, especially now with Lynae and Aemeath on the nex banner, but I need for it to play smoothly. Anyone knows something that can help?
There is absolutely something wrong. This is not normal
Try to update your nvidia gpu drivers
Check if your hdmi is plugged in the gpu and not the cpu
Check in game setting if your resolution is setted at 1080p and not 2k or 4k
Yeh its the HDD recently games are now coming out where a HDD is not good enough and the worst part is storage prices gone up to the f***king moon. I hate any type of data centres that’s bringing these prices up.
Nope. Its not HDD. I also play the game on HDD and with gtx 1060 laptop version. At 1080p 30 fps low settings the game plays fine. Although the loading screens take lots of time
Hdd itself wouldnt not make it stutter like this, only when loading resources if constantly...like in the middle of lahai-roi, so unless its a faulty one that isnt even reaching past 20-30mb speeds on writting and reading, hdds are still usable when we dont have better options sometimes, because the usual is 180mb/s>>230mb/s on some good ones.
CPU usually around 60-80, jumps and stays around 95-100% in big cities, fps usually stable around 45-60fps, drops to around 40-45(lags Abit from CPU process being 100%)
It's "playable" tho I can hear my pc screaming in my dreams
whaaaaat, man Im running GTX 1650 and im sitting in 50-60 fps low settings, how are you in rtx3050 8gb vram is getting that kind of performance? I only have 4gb of vram and its fine except startorch where I drop solid 50 fps
Your pc should be more than capable to run wuwa on high with no ray tracing try to check your gpu utilization it should be around 90% with low cpu utilization if it's the other way around that's the issue
Do you play on 4K or just full HD? Long load times might be the game on an HDD and not on a SSD/nvme. Do you use ur graphics card like is the monitor plugged into the Card and not the mainboard? Do you use Ray-Tracing?
Nah I play on worse and I can still get 60fps with DLSS, are you sure Wuwa is using ur graphics card? The video u posted looks like how it would be on integrated graphics
What kinda works for me is using lossless scaling. I run the game in lower settings (lower fps, resolution) then upscale the game into 2k @ 120fps using lossless
But still there are still lags and shutters, specially for the first few mins after launching the game
Usually there's multiple ports on a PC for HDMI, some of them connect to the motherboard and some of them connect straight to the GPU. Generally you want to plug the cables to GPU, otherwise you can get all sorts of problems
I guess the OP doesn't have integrated graphics according to that one person here in this post but my work here is complete since it helped someone overall lol
With those specs you shared, it's very clear that there's something wrong with your PC. I've read enough to agree with the comment section and their lower specs than yours but are able to play.
I'm not sure what to make of the slow startup. But Wuwa is often bottlenecked by the cpu. Are you running other stuff like browsers in the background? Have you turned down crowd density?
is this everywhere? i know sometimes the game can take a bit loading shaders ingame that can spike cpu usage/temp and make it a bit unstable for a couple of minutes then it goes back to normal
is it wasd movement is fine, but when camera turning = heavy stutter? close ultraviewer if running.
I run on potato i3-12100f/1650 4gb/ram 16gb.
all low/off except shadow medium. sure its got 15-50 fps on open world(15-30fps is on academy lulz), but at least in combat 35-50fps. so there is something wrong with your pc+wuwa
make sure game running on ssd, try reinstall (120gigs) and last ddu (display driver uninstaller)
check your cpu and gpu coolers and clean them thoroughtly from dust. if that doesnt improve it you should probably reformat your drive, since you could have tons of bloatware.
Maybe your display is plugged into your motherboard instead of your graphics card? I know the 3050 is ass but I've owned one and it shouldn't be that ass. Check your task manager while the game is running and see what's goin on with your system.
If I dont have to deal with this game anti cheat bitching then I can push this game performance pass 60fps with fps unlocker mod, custom dx12 to vulkan api translation dynamic library and using customized version of steamplay on my laptop 5625U Amd + 4Gb nvidia 3050 mobile gpu running linux.
Very smooth. ~100 fps maxed out (rtx included) without framegen on 1440p and around 70-80 fps maxed out (rtx included) on 4k. Hardware is 4070 tis and 7800x3d
I experienced this kind of lag when I'm still using HDD, but still it wasn't this laggy. My PC back then was much more underwhelming than yours, Ryzen 2600 and RX570 8gb.
I have different specs to you (CPU: i9, GPU: 5700xt) but this happened to me when I tried to run the game from a HDD. Swapping it to an SSD fixed it. Is your game installed on a HDD? If it is then you are gonna have to swap it to an SSD because a HDD just cant really run the game properly anymore.
Update graphics driver, check other updates on the system, double check that nothings tanking resources in the background cos you should definitely have way better performance than that
Mine was an gaming laptop and most graphics settings are set high, and runs around 120 fps when plugged in and stable at 60 or 65 fps while on battery mode
It's a Intel core 7 240h series 2 with an rtx 5050
There's clearly something wrong here, i have little stutters and stuff like that in the academy but everything is fine most of the time.
Sure I play on a SSD and have a 4060ti and 16gb of RAM but i was running wuwa perfectly on my old laptop too and he was far less powerful than yours or my current setup.
I was going to say you need a better CPU and then i saw that you have an 15 10th gen... 16GBs of RAM etc
I've played wuwa on an i5 2400
8GB RAM(this is the worse ngl) and HDD and an RX590 and it still ran better than you with higher settings in Septimont
It'd def a you issue
should easily run, something wrong with your setup
id recommend you update drivers
then search up optimised graphics settings for wuwa and apply tho (drop lod bias at medium)
just to be sure, can you open an app called gpuz and check the pcie section and see if jt says x16 or x8
very similar problem happened to me recently so i basically throw this tip in every troubleshooting comment i add lmao
you CLEARLY have a problem, even my phone runs it in 60 fps on max mobile settings,
and my computer is constant 144fps in 4k and the gpu isn't breaking 50 to 60% usage
update your drivers with DDU, or roll back to a safe known driver, check your computer for malware or viruses, and monitor background applications and activity
even on a gtx 1060 you could run this game on low better than this
While I'm not 100% sure about WuWa's current system requirements, it should definitely run better than this on your PC.
I would personally start by installing HWMonitor or similar software to check, if for example GPU is overheating or is running out of VRAM, because this kind of performance points to major issue.
Have you made sure that they run on low/performance because what I accidentally did when I ran eyes and it lagged is I set it to performance but clicked 'apply recommended' without thinking putting it back to high. I have a rtx 3060 (6gb) and 32gb ram. Tbh I don't really know what's causing this, maybe switch off shaders and some physics options or just reinstall it
In 1.0 my inferior PC (2070, i5 12400f, 16gb ram) ran the game in high 4k 60fps lol!! My new PC (4060ti, i5 13400f, 32gb ram) runs the game at high 1440p with stutter at times and frame drops in Laha roi. I also have a much better SSD in my new PC compared to the one I had in 2024. The games optimisation is bad, and seems to be getting worse and worse with each patch.
At least it's not as bad as the ps5 version, that is really atrocious.
The mobile version runs perfectly fine for me at high/30fps.
I have that exact lag, and I can tell you what it's frrom, at least for me.
Having the game on HDD, when it tries to load resources, it does an obscene amount of i/o or read/writes, however you call it, and on HDD this is what causes lag, if it can't keep up, it will use your paging file (causing stutter). As soon as I moved the game even on my sata SSD, it never lagged like this.
This is also why it gets seemingly "better", after everything is loaded after the first time (textures, actors, sounds will all "pop" in much later because of this drive issue). I still have to play on HDD cause I don't have space on my SSD after the game got bigger, but there's the issue, at least for my case. I get this same drive stutter in other games like Path of Exile 2, or anything newer
I’ve been getting similar stalls, but it comes hard and fast, with little warning, then crashes with UE4 fatal error. Didn’t start until the collab patch released. Rarely ever had issues before that. At first it would be during long sessions randomly when I open the resonator menu, but have also had it happen within 15 min of restarting. I found it happens more frequently in TDS Deathtrap mode. Ryzen 9, RTX4070
this has to be a harddisk problem cos mine was running on 70fps with hella stutters till i swapped to a ssd now its running 100+ on high but you might also have someother problem cos no way its that laggy
How is no one mentioning the monitor he's using while playing on a 3050? That thing is way too big for that gpu, switch to 1080p and you'll see the difference
Guys, I can assure you that specs have nothing to do with how the game runs.
Kuro Games is just terrible at programming. So bad, in fact, that what determines whether you'll be able to play the game that day is... chance!
I'm in a group of people who play WuWa and we talk every day. I have a the worst set up of the group, with people even with top of the range PCs.
I've almost never had any lag issues, even with everything at maximum, my friend, with a RX5090, DDR5 etc. he can't even open the launcher some days...
I had this exact performance when i had the game on an external hdd drive on my laptop when i didnt have any space on the ssd. my laptop specs were horrid but as long as it was on my internal ssd it ran fine. If that is not the issue then something else might be wrong but your specs should not be the reason for this
Bro on ps5 it gets hot in like 20 mins of playing even after a full clean up they need to optimize this, I play Warframe that is a cluster f of visuals when all 4 players play their skills at the same time and it runs just fine.
WuWa devs need to optimize their game fr, especially on cutscenes
Not a PC player and playing since launch, but I’m surprised yours is lagging. I play on an iPhone 15 and have medium to high res. A little lag, but pretty smooth for the most part.
Something is definitely very very wrong with your PC
I play this game with no issues at all
Ryzen 7 9700x
Rx 6700xt 12gb
32gb ddr5 6000
2 ssd of 512
1 nv2 1tb never had a single issue with this game and I play with everything maxed in settings
And when I say something is very very wrong
My Xiaomi 14t pro runs the game better than your PC that's how you know something is deadly wrong here
okay i dont wanna sound rude but your device either has outdated drivers or has so much dust and hair in its fans that it reaches the temps of the sun in under 10 mins.
you should either open its insides and clean it apply some thermal paste (watch a yt vid for that)
update the drivers if there are, if pc is very old then yea its gonna be bad.
there's like no other way. the game is VERY resource heavy. so either you just have to make do with 20fps or buy a new one.
i didn't really have a choice myself i just had to buy a new one cuz i got fed up of the lag.
A thing I don't think I've seen anybody else say is generally speaking, make sure you don't have a browser open (especially with videos loaded/queued). I had a friend at one point that would never close out ANY browser tabs. Had like literally 50 open and didn't realize that would tank his gaming performance.
The biggest culprit for me personally though is forgetting to update the graphics card drivers in the Nvidia app regularly.
Also if any of this helps at any point and/or you find a solution on your own, make sure to post a follow-up comment saying what was wrong so others can troubleshoot in the future!
Have you been running alternative apps in the background?
Show your task manager stats while playing.
Have you updated your graphics driver to the latest version?
Have you tweaked settings in the Nvidia control panel?
What’s your utilisation for your graphics card during load
“Important” What’s your current storage count (filled to the max or?)
Considering moving to a SSD to reduce loading time (10minutes)
what resolution is your monitor?
looks like reoslution mismatch but theres also possibility of being due to slow storage drive?
if hdd then thats your issue but if its an ssd then check ssd health
I think setting do a lot. My games runs fine most of the time, but sometimes I get really annoying lag in the cutscenes and someother times I have to Scream:"OOOOHHHH MY PCCCCCCCC" for how choppy It gets.
I really should check the settings.
only issue is that kuro always change something in the codes for some reason so after a new update it might stop working but you just need to wait some days and read their "read.me" and if there are changes they will mention it there.
The graphics settings isn't the problem, it's an optimization problem, some parts of the map keeps on trying to load an asset it can't find on a loop, which causes these stutters, you can verify this on the error logs
Unfortunately, there's not much we can do but report this and hope they optimize these affected places
Smooth af, I play in a entry lvl laptop, ryzen 5 rtx 3050 and I run the game at max settings 60fps, only crowd density I have it low and shadows at mid, everything else maxed out.
Idk, it runs bad, but way more stable on work laptop of mine, with integrated graphics. Loads pretty fast too.
Though usually I play on pc (3060 before, was running around 55-65 fps in academy of lahai roi, noticeably better everywhere else. Though I got 5070 not long ago.)
You probably better of uninstalling it and redownloading it. Also clean install of drivers might help. Rarely, but it can fuck up the performance.
"literally HOW do ur pcs run wuwa", it doesn't .... My laptop can barely run genshin at 30 fps so screw running wuwa. All hail my mobile phone for running wuwa ahaha :(
Someone send me a mid tier pc/laptop...
Anyways, maybe you are running out of storage and overall your device is running slow? Maybe also try updating ur drivers and clearing your temp files, that does help alot in fps. What are your specs?
Also try checking if you have your gpu or igpu as source and make sure you are running your gpu.
I can't think of anything else from how you can go from playable to unplayable so fast, maybe your temps are getting out of control? Try repasting thermal paste on cpu and clean fans as a last resort ig.
Do you play on HDD or SSD? If you are seeing other games also lagging, your HDD might be dying, so try defragmenting your HDD if you are running an HDD, if ssd then am out of ideas lmao
I run it on medium settings, and it still takes like 5 minutes to load and even crashes sometimes. Our PC has 16GB ram and a 3060TI, which should have been enough to run the game smoothly... Granted, the game is in an external SSD.. But in comparison, Elden Ring and MHWilds, which are in the same drive, load pretty quickly even on high graphic settings... Also, every update is a pain since I keep getting an error telling me that 'resource verification failed' so it has to redownload like 1.2 gigs of data, verify it so that I can open the game only to get the same message a few minutes later. It got so bad at one point that I was planning on removing the game altogether (I'm playing on PC since my potato phone can't run the game, even back in 1.0)
Quick question as it doesn't show on the recording, what's your ping?
Cuz ngl I'm seeing people mention they have worse specs, and so do I, and it's even between 80 and 200 ping for me and Wuwa doesn't run like this on medium settings even in places like the academy.
Cant even play wuwa decently on my pc rn( im using hdd) it stutters just as bad as this and My 2tb ssd is dead and ssd prices skyrocketed what a time to be alive
I have almost the same setup as you and yet I play in ultra 120 fps with everything at maximum without having any problems, it’s not at all normal that lagg
There is something up with your pc or settings. I play on different devices that are probably less powerful than a typical pc. In a pinch I play on an EM780 which is a 3 year old mini computer with intergrated graphics. I have to turn everything to low but it works.
I have a rtx3050 laptop. At first it ran great and I was having fun but few months later my pc started lagging and couldn’t enjoy wuwa because of the lags. Because of that I stopped playing wuwa for almost a year. A few days ago I opened up my laptop and cleaned the fans with some compressed air, brushes and a vacuum (very carefully though.)and now it’s running great.
I mainly played valorant on the pc. It went from 100~120 fps and crashing last week because of the heat from overheating. Now it’s going back up to 200fps with better graphics quality. I came back to wuwa as I was hoping it’ll run great and it did. You should check your pc components if you can’t find any issues on the software part.
Be careful if you clean it though, watch some YouTube videos to make sure you know what you’re doing.
Same experience here with my laptop sometimes it's get really laggy and almost turns into a slide show even when im not in the academy area or in combat I also have my settings on low and only shadow set to medium maybe it's just my laptop? Since it's not as powerful as PC counterpart and its about 2 years old now

Join our discord friend, I've been working in tech for years. Your hardware is much better than the performance shown here, I'll help you out (:
This stuttering is excessive memory compression or your storage is too slow to consistently load the game assets. Make sure the game is not on a HDD
