Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Will I get banned for using this?
Highly unlikely, I've been tweaking ini files since release with no issues. -
Do I need to redownload config every game patch?
Game patch does not reset Engine.ini to default.
If you run into issues, just grab the latest version of the config as I update it from time to time. -
Can I change in-game settings?
Yes, it won't override any of the changes done through Engine.ini. -
Character shadows suddenly missing / low texture quality.
Switch to another Graphics Quality Preset then back to the same one, you can customize the settings after. -
How do I reset the ini files back to default?
Just delete the ini files, launching the game will create a new one.
Launch Options
; For Steam just add to launch options in properties -SkipSplash Skip intro videos -dx11 Launch the game with DX11 -dx12 Launch the game with DX12 -EngineIni=Engine.ini Use Engine.ini without Kuro config monitor removing certain commands
FOR EXPLANATIONS AND IMAGE COMPARISONS: https://alteriax.github.io/WuWa-Config-Info/
Choose one Engine.ini config (Please read the comments inside, it'll disappear after game launch)
AND
[For non-Steam only] Get run_wuwa.bat from Common folder
Copy the file(s) to this location (Please check properly, different from previous one):
...Wuthering Waves\Wuthering Waves Game\Client\Binaries\Win64
Important
For Steam, just add -EngineIni=Engine.ini to launch options in properties.
For non-Steam, always open the game with run_wuwa.bat as admin or else the config won't work.
Note
It's normal for a lot of extra stuff to be added to Engine.ini after game launch, it's just the game default config.
Don’t make it read-only to avoid that, it will cause stutters.
You can leave the older Engine.ini or delete it, game won't use the one from WindowsNoEditor folder anymore.
