Wuthering Waves, a new open-world Gacha game by Chinese developer Kuro Games, has encountered various launch issues, prompting an apology from Kuro Games and the offer of compensation to players. This Genshin Impact-style game launched globally on PC and mobile, but players discovered an exploit allowing early access to an upcoming character, Yinlin, by changing system date settings. While this exploit is patched in the Chinese version, it remains active in the western version, causing concern about further potential exploits. The game has faced several technical problems, including login timeouts, age authentication issues, crashes, and performance issues. Despite an emergency patch, some players still experience severe overheating and frequent crashes, leading Kuro Games to suggest lowering graphics settings for smoother gameplay. As part of the launch celebration, Kuro Games is also offering in-game rewards via promo codes.
