Since its review embargo was recently lifted, Black Myth Wukong has earned widespread praise, but it hasn’t been without its fair share of complaints, primarily concerning optimization on PC.

Players have reported encountering graphical bugs, a few glitches, and even some issues that prevent progression. Game Science is actively working on updates to resolve these issues, but in the meantime, they’ve provided some practical advice to help players mitigate these problems via Steam.

One of the simplest steps recommended by the developers is to rest at the Keeper’s Shrine or restart the game if you encounter any technical glitches. This basic action might seem too straightforward, but it has proven effective for many players. 

Additionally, Game Science encourages players to enable the “Data Storage and Processing Agreement,” allowing the studio to better understand and address the bugs without the need for players to report them manually.

For those experiencing issues with the game crashing or failing to launch, the developers suggest checking for conflicting programs, such as overlays, that might interfere with the game’s performance. Disabling these programs or even lowering the game’s settings can significantly improve stability, especially on lower-end systems. 

At last, the Compatibility Mode feature within the game can be a game-changer for many players, especially those with older or less powerful PCs. By selecting “Play Black Myth Wukong (Compatibility Mode)” when launching the game, players can reduce the strain on their systems, preventing crashes and black screens.

The developer also suggests that players take their time and not rush through the game. Since Black Myth Wukong is a single-player experience, there’s no need to feel pressured to succeed quickly, and gamers should take their time with it.

Instead, the studio encourages players to appreciate the detailed scenery and take breaks from the internet to avoid spoilers and have an amazing gaming experience for themselves.

The developers have also shared that while the game is still in its early days and some bugs slipped through due to the game’s ambitious scale and the complexities of development, it is committed to improving the overall experience.

The studio, though relatively small, has created a game with the presentation quality of an AAAA title, as Ubisoft would say, and they’ve promised to focus on enhancing the game with future patches and updates.
