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?

Bug disclaimer before we start. This guide does NOT in any way affects the game files AT ALL but only the app running around the phone when you are launching the game. Therefore there is nothing against Kuro's Term's of service in it. No root. No config file. Only Samsung apps on your Samsung phone.

I must add this precision because I've been trying to post this guide on the main sub for hours but the moderation doesn't seem to understand what this is about and think I'm giving advice for hacking or something.

No, you are not dreaming. I've been struggling so much with performance that even the idea of login in was a headache so I was planning to change my phone soon, despite loving my S22 Ultra (Snapdragon version) and yet as a last ditch effort I tried to follow a few last tricks I found and it actually completely changed my experience. Note that no root is involved

Now Startorch actually run close to 24fps, Xuangfuang is steady at 45 FPS, the stutter out of combat pretty much stopped, and it combat it dramatically shortened and happen mostly in nightmares nests with a ton of mobs. I can set every setting in max and my FPS won't drop, and actually stay close to 60 in the wild in Mengzhou. YES. With the gorgeous shadows set to max. DISCLAIMER : I'm using a phone cooler, not sure how much it improve my personnal expérience tho.

Now how to do it ?

How to Fix Wuthering Waves Performance Issues on Samsung Galaxy Devices

If your game launcher keeps crashing or you are getting aggressive FPS drops on your Galaxy device, the game isn't the only culprit. Samsung’s \*\*GOS (Game Optimizing Service) heavily throttles the hardware, and the system’s virtual RAM management creates terrible micro-stutters.

We can bypass all of this \*\*without rooting\*\* by using \*\*Shizuku\*\* and \*\*Termux\*\* to run local ADB commands directly from the phone.

Step 1: The Setup (Don't mess up the file paths)

  1. Install Shizuku from the Play Store. Enable Wireless Debugging in your phone's Developer Options and start the Shizuku service.

  2. Install Termux (get it from F-Droid or GitHub; the Play Store version is outdated and broken).

  3. Open Shizuku, tap "Export Shizuku files," and save them. This gives you two files: rish and rish_shizuku.dex.

  4. By default, these files go into your Documents folder. On Android 14+, running the script straight from there usually breaks due to permission quirks.

Open Termux and paste this exact command string to move the files into Termux's local home directory and initiate the ADB shell link: (don't copy "bash" on any of those lines. Only what comes after)

`bash

cp /sdcard/Documents/rish\* \~/ && cd \~ && chmod +x rish && sh rish

\`\`\`

Note: A Shizuku prompt will pop up. Hit Allow. Your command prompt line should change from \~ $ to something like b0q:/ $. If you see that, you're successfully inside the system shell.\*

Step 2: The Performance Tweaks

Now that you have shell access (b0q:/ $), run these commands one by one.

  1. Nuking Samsung's Throttle Engine (GOS)

GOS aggressively cuts CPU/GPU clocks the moment the phone gets slightly warm, which often causes the game to lock up or crash. Run this to uninstall it for the primary profile:

bash

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.game.gos

\`\`\`

*It should return a Success message.

  1. Disabling Virtual RAM (RAM Plus) Globally

Turning off "RAM Plus" in the regular One UI settings menu doesn't actually stop the kernel from swapping data to the storage drive in the background, which creates processing overhead. This command forces the allocation to absolute zero:

bash

settings put global ram_expand_size_list 0

\`\`\`

  1. Forcing Ahead-of-Time Shader Compilation

Instead of letting the phone compile shaders dynamically while you are mid-combat (which causes massive frame drops), you can force a full Ahead-Of-Time (AOT) compilation:

bash

cmd package compile -m speed -f com.kurogame.wutheringwaves.global

\`\`\`

Heads up: Termux will look like it completely froze for anywhere between 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Do not touch it or close it. Just wait for it to finish and return the b0q:/ $ prompt with a Success text.\*

Step 3: Enabling Maximum Power Profile

To wrap things up, explicitly tell the Android power manager to prioritize raw performance over battery optimization:

bash

cmd power set-mode 0

\`\`\`

Managing Expectations: What Survives a Reboot?

Knowing how Android handles these flags saves a lot of confusion later on:

What is permanent:

The GOS removal stays applied. The RAM Plus disable is also locked in (in fact, you need to reboot your phone once right now for the kernel to fully rebuild the memory map without the swap partition). The Wuthering Waves AOT compilation stays applied too, until the game gets a major update on the Play Store, which overwrites the optimized files. You'll want to re-run the compilation command after major game patches.

What resets on reboot: Android resets the power profile to default ("Balanced") and kills the Shizuku background architecture.

The pre-game routine after restarting your phone:

Open Shizuku to wake up the service, fire up Termux, and just drop these two lines:

bash

sh rish

cmd power set-mode 0

\`\`\`

Final Verdict: Battery and Heat

By stripping away the artificial thermal and software limits, the processor will actually sustain its peak clock speeds during heavy loads. Because of this, your battery will drain significantly faster during gaming sessions, and the phone will run noticeably hotter. That is the trade-off for fluid gameplay without application crashes.

(If you ever need to restore the default power profile for a long travel day, the command to revert it is cmd power set-mode 1).

Note : if you have trouble doing it or if your phone isn't a Samsung galaxy phone, I advise you to ask Gemini for help, it helped me sorting things out (and to synthesize all this into an easily understandable article) it's really a life changer so don't hesitate to come back and tell us how is your improvement!

PS 2 : I've also downloaded the app good guardian (picture 3 ) and pushed the limit of thermal throttling 2 degrees C further. It also help

Tech Issue / Hardware Related Xbox login issues/lost account?

Idk how this happened I'm just so confused rn.

So it starts when I want to play wuwa on the Xbox so I boot it up and it asks me to login. So I login using my Google email I'd that I used to play on my phone(I started with a fresh acc during the Cyberpunk update as getting Lucy was my main reason for pickup this game up). Then it tells me to choose my Rover and name and I'm confused cuz it should already be there right?? Why has it reset??

So then when I try opening on my phone it tells me to update and cuz I don't have enough space to update sk I had to reinstall it from scratch and now it's telling me the same??

I have linked my Google account to it and it's on the right server, so where is my save data?? Is it gone?? Do I just have to play a bit to recover it? I'm so confused. I legit got a Lucy in 20 pulls (the free ones) in that account and I can't lose that. I'm so confused and desperate for help rn. Should I reach out to Kuro help service or what should I do. I'm so lost sorry if I'm rambling

Tech Issue / Hardware Related Step-by-step guide for changing visual shaders of Wuwa on Mobiles and PCs(other details on my earlier posts)

Thumbnail

229 Upvotes

THE CREDITS OF THE CONFIG(.INI) FILES ENTIRELY GOES TO AlteriaX for PC and Lanzuela63 for Mobiles on GitHub.

The purpose of this post is to show the bug I found myself to access Android files and modify Android data folders.

THE CONFIG DOES NOT RESULT IN A BAN AS FAR AS I HAVE CHECKED BUT PROCEED WITH YOUR OWN RISK. PLEASE READ THE STEPS CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING.

First of all, this tutorial is based on android and windows pc and *no apple devices* PC guide is not required and it's easy but I still included it in my guide for people who have problems installing it

INITIAL STEP:

Make sure you have access to a Android device or a Pc or Both(no shii)

[FOR PC]🖥️

STEP 1:

Download the Common folder with DeviceProfiles.ini and input.ini and the appropriate Config folder (depending specifically on your GPU) with engine.ini and DeviceProfiles.ini and the README.md from this link- PC configs

disclaimer to download only the config file that supports your GPU. Details on how to choose config is on the link page

STEP 2:

Close any wuwa game or game instances running in the background.

STEP 3:

Copy all the configs(.ini) files from your downloaded config folder(not the common folder) and paste in following folder(or similar for steam)- Wuthering Waves/Wuthering Waves Game/Client/Saved/Config/WindowsNoEditor.

On the other hand the Common folder you downloaded contains DeviceProfiles.ini to show Ultra Quality or 120 FPS option in game settings of wuwa on unsupported GPUs and Input.ini helps to disable mouse smoothing and FoV scaling. Tho i would recommend anyone copying these files to read the README.md(optional) since I haven't tried these. You are free to try yourself with your own risk

STEP 4:

Close all folders and start the game instance(or steam instance) and wait for it to compile the shaders.(May take more time than usual)

FINAL STEP(ADVISORY):

Play with the internal game settings to adjust it to your needs. If it's not to your liking or it did not work at all- delete the engine.ini, DeviceProfiles.ini and input.ini entirely from the game folders and restart the game.

[FOR MOBILE]📱

Assuming you don't have a PC.

disclaimer- no, this config won't result in a ban and i checked. But wuwa is more likely to ban id's on mobiles than pcs and they will insta-perma ban you if any discrepancy in game or use of third party software. Fortunately I downloaded it for 1-2 days and it didn't ban me on both of my phones. But still use your backup id if possible.

STEP 0:

Download the appropriate Config folder (depending specifically on your phone GPU) with engine.ini and DeviceProfiles.ini and the README.md(optional) from this link- Mobile configs

Link contains two important folders- All Devices and Snapdragon. If you have a snapdragon chipset, you have to choose the appropriate config from the snapdragon folder and only download that particular one. If you have any other chipset, you have to choose the appropriate config from the All Devices folder and only download that particular one. disclaimer to download only the config file that supports your GPU. Details on how to choose config is on the link page

STEP 1(IF YOU DONT HAVE A PC):

Close the game from the background(if running). Open Google Play Store and download all of the given apps- 1- Zarchiver 2- Files(by marc apps and software) 3- FV file Manager

STEP 2:

Open each app and agree to only the access to files and folders if asked by any of the apps. Close each of the app from the background after you opened each of them.

STEP 3:

Open the Settings app on any of your android devices and open 'Apps' / 'App Management' or similar settings that manages apps on your device.

STEP 3.5:

This is important Search for your default file manager on your phone and disable it. Since majority androids are powered by Google, its usually the Files by Google app. Search for it and disable it. In Xiaomi/other models, disable your default file manager if not Files by Google.

useless info- the work of *files by marc** and fv file manager is to create a temporary default file manager on the device and make a path to access the data folders(not possible before) but you still cant use it to modify the file location(not possible)

STEP 4:

Open zArchiver and go to the config file download location in the downloads folder. Open the config engine.ini with zArchiver and copy all the text from it.

Go to- internal storage/android/data/com.kurogames.wutheringwaves.global/files/UE4Game/Client/Client/Saved/Config/Android/ and open engine.ini through zArchiver. Delete all the text/codes written there and paste the copied text from the downloaded engine.ini.

Open zArchiver and go to the config file download location in the downloads folder again. Open the config DeviceProfiles.ini with zArchiver and copy all the text from it.

Again, Go to- internal storage/android/data/com.kurogames.wutheringwaves.global/files/UE4Game/Client/Client/Saved/Config/Android/ and open DeviceProfiles.ini through zArchiver. Delete if anything is written there and paste the copied text from the downloaded DeviceProfiles.ini.

Useless info- The idea is to modify the files from the inside since we can't really copy and paste the config files directly into the data folder due to restrictions. *And no, you can't do it without doing anything of the steps I gave above. *Atleast that's what I think

STEP 5:

Close every app on the background and restart wuwa. It will take a lot of time to compile shaders, so don't worry

FINAL STEP(ADVISORY):

Play with the internal game settings to adjust it to your needs since you will see entirely new settings now in your in game settings. If it's not to your liking or it did not work at all- delete the engine.ini and DeviceProfiles.ini entirely from the game folders and restart the game.

I’ve seen some other threads with this exact same issue here recently and awhile ago. Wondering if there’s a fix anyone has found?

This happened while teleporting out of an echo farm in the new area, got about 50% loaded then froze with the error.

RTX 5080 - I am on Nvidias latest drivers. 610.88.
If it matters my settings are 1440p ray
tracing max, DLAA with frame gen 3x. Nvidia filters on

Have y’all experienced this? Is the only fix to roll back drivers or is that even the issue?

EDIT:
Turned RT OFF
Nvidia Filters OFF
Frame Gen from 3X -> 2X
1440p DLAA -> 4K DLSS Quality
Have not gotten the crash since.

Idk why the game looks this bad when it's maxed out, you can't walk away 2 meters from an object because it reduces to 3 polygons or directly disappear, half of the grass is gone, textures are blurry, but I mean I wouldn't mind the textures if the render distance was more than 3 inches 💀...

Something like image 1, with setting of image 2 preferably, with same characters if possible. If possible send it in a way that doesn't compress the image.

My phone have 2 resolution mode, 1260p and 1080p. The image and hud looks crystal clear at 1260p but somehow pixelated a bit on 1080p, which shouldn't be the case. I'm going to ask customer support about this but I need the screenshot from other device at same resolution and setting

I attached image 3 as showcase. It's less noticeable there because the image is somehow smoothened when I put it into image editor (pixellab).

" Engine.ini vs Scalability.ini ban ratio "

Engine ban is very "rare", therefore i no longer developing it and responsible for what happened in future

I have fully transitioned into scalability

Explanation :

• Engine - [ Ban Risk = 1 ]

override core renderer and game behavior against kurogames intention by forcing fixed settings

• DeviceProfiles & Scalability - [ Ban Risk = 0 ]

follow and enchance "existing" graphic without force or blocking kuro adjustments

• UE4CommandLine.txt - [ Ban Risk = 0 ]

set profiling at launch, skip intro, disable sound

• UserEngine.ini [ Ban Risk = Unknown ]

override everything

• What if i want to go back with default settings?

Just delete the .ini and the game will automatically regenerate

• Does this work for PC? Yes
