Black Myth: Wukongcame out on August 20and has already become a massive hit. The game, developed by Game Science, is based on the ancient Chinese novelJourney to the West, mixing beautiful visuals with tough and rewarding combat that reminds many players of games likeDark Souls.Black Myth: Wukonghas climbed to the top charts on Steam, but some technical issues have persisted since the game’s launch, and the developer is currently working to fix them.
One of the key fixesin patch 1.0.8.14860addresses a problem in which turning on FSR couldmakeBlack Myth: Wukong crash, especially during the game’s startup or prologue. Players who saw crashes in certain parts of the Webbed Hollow, particularly when NVIDIA Full Ray Tracing was on, should now see those issues resolved. The update also brings visual improvements, especially for character models. A bug that made hair stretch oddly in some scenes has been fixed, and the hair effects for the Yaoguai King, “Lingxuzi,” have been optimized.
This update also includes important balance changes, particularly aimed at making boss fights more fair. The stats ofBlack Myth: Wukong’s Captain Wise-Voicehave been slightly lowered, making this opponent a bit easier for players to handle. An issue in which an attack from the Lesser Yaoguai, “Lantern Warden,” in the Pagoda Realm could push players into walls has also been fixed. The patch also addresses several gameplay bugs. Some players have had problems with the Destined One’s abilities, such as getting stuck while using “Whirling Thrusts in Thrust Stance” or not being able to switch stances properly in the sixth chapter. These issues have now been fixed, along with a bug that could cause stats errors in specific situations.
Quest-related fixes have also been implemented, such as resolving a glitch where the quest icon for Yaoguai Chief “Daoist Mi” would still show up in the Travel menu, even after the quest was no longer able to be completed. Additionally, Game Science has addressed a problem impacting players using Turkish as their system language. On PS5, this could make the game crash at launch, and on PC, it might cause crashes during boss fights. For now, it’s recommended to switch to English or another language until a permanent fix is available. AsBlack Myth: Wukong’s popularity continues to grow, this update offers players a more refined experience.
