Do you experience Fatal Error, shader crashes or even „Out of video memory” error in Wuchang Fallen Feathers? We’ve got some tips for you

We have already seen numerous games set in Greek mythology like Titan Quest or Hades. Also, Nordic mythology is frequently used as a canvas for multiple titles, let the examples be Hellblade or Valheim. That’s not all, as we have seen those two worlds intertwine in the most recent releases of God of War. However, the legends and history of China is still an uncharted territory. After critically acclaimed Black Myth Wukong, many of us have realized the potential of that setting. This is probably one of the reasons why Wuchang Fallen Feathers was so anticipated. Something must have gone wrong, though, as the debut of this game leaves a lot to be desired. The most severe issues that a lot of players experience are crashes in various forms, like Fatal Errors or “Out of video memory” messages. Let’s see if there is anything to mitigate those problems.

Despite being released in 2022, Unreal Engine 5 still appears to be an untamed beast that bites ferociously both, developers and players alike. The last victim of this wild animal is Wuchang Fallen Feathers that struggles to deliver not only acceptable performance, but also poses a challenge to play at all, due to numerous issues like Fatal Errors and shader crashes. Keep in mind that “Out of video memory” error is a separate issue, not related directly to UE5, though still boiling down to the same result. There are a couple of standard methods of dealing with such issues.

1. Check if your device’s drivers are up-to-date:
