Wuthering Waves might be a fun game, but it is not without issues. Players have experienced many problems since it came out on the Epic Games store. For instance, many of us got stuck verifying files, we’ve all experienced the game’s sound stopping for no reason, and some are still dealing with the beep noise issue.

Additionally, some players feel a sudden lag when playing the game. Hopefully, these problems are just growing pains due to the game’s newness and sudden popularity. We believe that Kuro Games will address these issues as soon as they can.

Until then, we can only hope that Kuro Games will increase their staff to handle the game’s current popularity and work faster on addressing all these bugs. Despite these minor issues, the game is still enjoyable. Have you tried Havoc Rover yet? You absolutely should because that build is incredibly fun.
