Just a day after release, publisher 505 Games has released a new update for Wuchang: Fallen Feathers that addresses several performance issues, fixes some bugs, and grants missing preorder bonuses. Alongside the fixes, all players will receive the game's original soundtrack DLC as a form of apology.
The patch notes detail the addition of a manual toggle for low latency mode, which is now no longer enabled by default, as well as VRAM optimization for lower-end GPUs. 505 Games says it has also fixed an issue where the game may crash immediately after the company logo during startup. It has also resolved a stuttering issue during finisher animations.
Players that preordered both the Standard and the Deluxe edition of the game will receive the correct content rewards after the patch update. If you're struggling to find the rewards, the publisher says you should log in again and claim them at the donation box located in Reverent Temple.
Alongside these issues, some finer adjustments to the gameplay have been made in order to create a "more fair and enjoyable challenge" in the landmine encounter in chapter two. There will now be fewer landmines and they'll deal less damage.
Alongside the full patch notes, which you can read below, 505 Games says it is currently working on a more extensive patch that will roll out "in the next few days." It advises players to reach out to the customer support team or visit the game's FAQ page for more information and help if you're still experiencing issues.
Wuchang: Fallen Feathers released to over 115,000 concurrent players, but the reviews on Steam are "mostly negative" due to complaints about performance optimization.

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers Patch 1.3 notes:
Performance Related Optimizations- Low Latency Mode is now a manual toggle in the Options menu. It will no longer be enabled by default.
- Supersampling resolution limits have been adjusted on select GPU models to prevent unintended performance degradation.
- VRAM optimization for lower-end GPUs:
- For GPUs with 8GB or less VRAM, memory-saving optimization is now applied across all texture quality levels.
- For GPUs with more than 8GB VRAM, this optimization applies only when texture quality is set to Low.
- These changes improve stability and reduce crashes or stuttering caused by insufficient video memory.
🛠 Bug Fixes & Stability Improvements
- Fixed a crash that could occur immediately after the company logo during game startup.
- Resolved execution stutter affecting select hardware configurations during finisher animations.
- Fixed issues related to both the Standard Edition and Deluxe Edition – after the patch update, players of both versions will receive the correct content rewards. Players who have already purchased the Deluxe Edition package will need to log in again and claim the reward at the donation box located in Reverent Temple.
- All WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers owners will receive the Original Soundtrack DLC for free as compensation.
Gameplay Balance Adjustments- Chapter 2 – Landmine Encounter Rebalancing:
- Reduced the number of landmines and adjusted their damage output to create a more fair and enjoyable challenge.
