Game Science announced that a new patch will be released later today for Black Myth: Wukong and shared its full patch notes. So, let’s see what this new update brings to the table.

The October 13th Update will add official native support for AMD FSR 4.0. On compatible hardware, FSR 4.0 will be available in the in-game Settings after updating the driver and enabling FSR4 in the driver settings.

According to the devs, this new patch will also improve the game’s performance. As they have noted, it will pack a number of CPU performance improvements. It will also improve memory usage in numerous scenarios. Thus, the game should run faster under CPU-heavy scenes.

This new patch will also fix some visual problems. It will correct several rendering errors in NXSR that caused ghosting and flickering around edges. Plus, it will improve NXSR’s overall image quality. The motion blur has been improved to reduce jagged edges when the camera moves. Additionally, the patch fixes a crash that could happen when both DLSS 4 Frame Generation and ray tracing were turned on at the same time. Therefore, the game should be more stable now when using DLSS 4.

The devs stated that installed mods might cause problems, like stopping the game from launching or showing error messages while playing. Thus, they suggest removing them and checking the game files for errors before starting the game again.

In short, there might be crashes when using this mod that adds an in-game map. Or this mod that allows you to play in first-person with guns. Or with this mod that allows you to play the game with your friends.

Like always, Steam will download this update once it becomes available. Below, you can also find its complete changelog.

Stay tuned for more!
