Game developer Wuchang, makers of Fallen Feathers, acknowledges an uproar on Steam, admitting "these issues should never have arisen" yet maintaining confidence in the game's functionality within the recommended specifications.
Addressing Optimization Issues in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers
After reaching over 100,000 concurrent players on Steam, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers has faced significant performance and optimization issues, primarily due to its use of Unreal Engine 5[1][2][3]. These problems have led to a substantial number of negative reviews, with about 70% of reviews being negative[1][2][3].
The developer, Leenzee Games, has acknowledged the issues and is actively working to address them. They have already released a patch (Patch 1.3) aimed at improving performance, stability, and reducing crashes. This patch includes optimizations for lower-end GPUs to enhance gameplay experience[1].
Leenzee Games is also working on more extensive patches to further improve performance. These patches are expected to be released in the coming days, targeting broader optimization and stability improvements[1][2].
The developer has been open about the issues and is committed to delivering the best possible experience. They acknowledge the problems and are working to rectify them, maintaining communication with the community about ongoing efforts[2].
Leenzee Games has also taken steps to show appreciation for their players. They will give a free digital copy of the original soundtrack to all players who purchase the game on Steam[4]. Players who buy the Deluxe Edition will receive a brand-new exclusive costume in future updates[5].
However, the studio has received reports of issues such as optimization problems, errors in distributing pre-order rewards, and abnormal pricing[6]. They deeply regret the inconvenience and negative experience some players are facing and are working to address these issues[6].
The delivery of the exclusive costume may take some time, and refunds for the soundtrack will be processed for those who have already purchased it via Steam[7]. A bug is preventing players from claiming pre-order and Deluxe Edition items, but Leenzee Games is working to resolve this issue[6].
