The 1.3 Wuchang: Fallen Feathers update has dropped. Leenzee’s patch notes certainly caught my attention because of the Landmine nerf they’ve thankfully introduced. There’s also bonus content waiting for players as compensation, due to content issues.
My Wuchang: Fallen Feathers review featured a ton of praise for the game, and rightly so. It’s not a genre-changing or genre-defining release, but it’s a solid option for a player base who are always in search of a new Soulslike.
Landmines were a big criticism I had about the title. This has been fixed. The developer has also dished out more improvements to enhance the gameplay experience.
Wuchang: Fallen Feathers July 24 Update Biggest Changes in 1.3 Update
The Wuchang 1.3 update makes Landmines less frustrating, provides a litany of new performance-related settings and options to enhance optimization and smoothness, and players are being given the Original Soundtrack DLC for free as compensation for a pre-order bonus redemption error.
Check out everything included in the new Wuchang update.
All Wuchang: Fallen Feathers 1.3 Update Patch 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.
