The release of a new update is usually something players look forward to, but on June 12th, the Wuthering Waves (WuWa) 2.4 update caused more frustration than excitement. Right after the update rolled out, players—especially those on PS5—faced major performance problems that severely impacted the game experience.

What Went Wrong in WuWa 2.4?
Not long after the 2.4 patch went live, players started flooding community forums and social media with complaints. The most common and serious issue? Frequent crashes. For PS5 users, the situation was even worse. One standout example shows a player attempting to teleport to Septimont, only for the game to crash instantly. After that, it gets stuck at 75% on the loading screen—and reinstalling didn’t help either.
This wasn’t just a small bug or a minor inconvenience. For many, the game became completely unplayable on their console. Players were left with no solution and no communication for several days, leading to growing frustration within the community.
After three days of silence, developer Kuro finally broke their silence. They acknowledged the issue, issued an apology, and mentioned that their team is actively working on a fix. As a temporary workaround, they advised players to try logging in from a different device.
What Happens Next?
While it’s good to know the developers are on the case, the incident has highlighted the need for more thorough testing—especially on consoles. Many fans are hoping that future updates won’t bring the same level of disruption.
For now, players affected by the 2.4 update can only wait for the fix to roll out or try switching to another platform if possible. Kuro’s response came a bit late, but at least they’re aware of the problem. Let’s just hope the next patch brings improvements, not crashes.
