Wuchang Being Demolished by Players on Steam

Wuchang’s Launch Plagued by Technical Woes, Awaiting Performance Updates

Wuchang debuted on Steam, attracting a peak of over 114,000 simultaneous players just hours after launch. However, initial player reception has been largely negative, with the game currently holding a 19.13% approval rating from over 12,000 Steam users. The overwhelming majority of criticism points to severe technical issues, including pervasive frame rate drops, constant stuttering, and freezes. These performance problems are significant enough that many players have ceased playing shortly after their initial attempt. Specifically, gamers have reported performance issues even on high-end systems equipped with RTX GPUs and last-gen CPUs, citing persistent lag and sluggish response times that hinder gameplay. Player feedback highlights this frustration. One gamer expressed appreciation for the game’s atmosphere and combat design but stated an inability to play due to poor performance. Another described the game as visually impressive yet plagued by “horrible PC stutter,” suggesting a free demo would be beneficial for pre-purchase testing. Despite its substantial player base, Wuchang urgently requires updates to address these critical technical issues and retain players. While some users have suggested employing technologies like DLSS and FSR to alleviate performance woes, these solutions do not consistently resolve the most severe cases.

Struggling Wuchang Offers Rewarding Gameplay Amid Technical Issues with Custom Characters and Narrative-driven Madness System

Despite these significant technical challenges, Wuchang features promising elements such as customizable characters, gear that impacts gameplay, strategic enchantments, and a narrative-driven ‘madness system.’ These unique features offer the potential for intense and rewarding moments for players who persist despite the current performance hurdles.
