Wuthering Waves bugs listed and how to fix them
1. Gateway Connection Timed Out/Fatal error
Issue
One of the main issues encountered by the players is the Fatal error that completely stops the game. Here, there is a pop-up of Gateway Connection during launch that won’t allow any command or input. This error might be because the game may have a temporary glitch causing the connection time-out error.
How to Fix
Close the game and relaunch it. Before relaunching, ensure your internet connection is stable. Switch to a more stable WiFi or connect to the internet via an ethernet cable. Turn off any VPNs you’re running, as they can cause issues with your internet’s stability.
2. Lag and Stuttering Issues
Issue
With the game being fairly new, players have been facing lag issues. This may be caused due to plenty of reasons, be it Higher Graphics Settings, Bad Network connection, and so on.
How to Fix
To reduce lag or stuttering, first, try the Graphics Settings option. To access that, open the game settings menu on the bottom right corner of your menu, and navigate to Graphics Settings. Reduce Graphics Quality to Low or Very Low and check if the issue persists.
Suppose there are still issues regarding the same. In that case, I suggest checking the following settings: V-Sync, Motion Blur, Volumetric Fog, Volumetric Lighting, and Capsule AO, and disabling them one by one accordingly. To make it smoother, set Shadow Quality, Special Effects Quality, and LOD Bias to Low and rerun your game.
Sometimes stuttering can be caused by Internet issues too, which I have covered in the next section.
3. Redeem Failed error
Issue
You receive a “Redeem failed” error when trying to redeem an Echo gift card. Well, this isn’t a critical error, it is just a bug that doesn’t make any negative impact.
How to Fix
This occurs only when you are redeeming Echo. The only way to fix this issue is by redeeming more Echo gift cards until you get a five-star Echo. It usually takes multiple tries before you get a five-star Echo.
4. Connection Lost
Issue
An issue where players get a pop-up of “Connection Lost” while playing the game.
How to Fix
An unstable internet connection can result in lag as well as disconnecting from the game during gameplay. This is purely your internet connection issue, which can be fixed only via device settings. You need to check your Mobile Data or Wi-Fi connection and try switching on and off flight mode on your device.
5. Crashing on Android
Issue
Few of the players on social media have complained about the game crashing on Android, where the game either stops loading or crashes with a black screen.
How to Fix
First, ensure that you have installed the official Google Play Store version of the game. Next, check the compatibility. If it is fine, then check the storage settings of your phone and delete unnecessary apps or files to free up space. Then, reinstall or update Wuthering Waves.
Uninstall the game from your phone settings, then reinstall it from the Google Play Store. This will ensure the latest version and replace any corrupted files. This should work; otherwise, if it doesn’t, contact customer support and wait for updates from the devs.
