Players at Wuthering Waves Resort are Utilizing a Classic Trick to Unlock Playable Characters Ahead of Schedule

The global launch of the highly anticipated game, Wuthering Waves, has hit a snag as developer Kuro Games faces technical issues that have led to an unexpected exploit. Players have discovered a way to access an upcoming playable character, Yinlin, by manually changing the date in their system time settings after logging into the game.

While this exploit has caused some disruption in the game’s live service, players are finding humor in the situation and are curious about what other exploits they may uncover by tinkering with time. The developer has patched the exploit for the Chinese client but it may still be available in the western version, prompting Kuro Games to address the issue globally to maintain the integrity of the game’s monetization mechanics.

In addition to the exploit, Wuthering Waves has faced a slew of technical issues at launch, including login timeouts, age authentication problems, crashes, glitches on certain devices, poor localization, and performance issues. Kuro Games has issued an emergency patch to address the most urgent issues and advised players experiencing overheating or frequent crashes to adjust their graphics settings for a smoother gaming experience.

Despite the challenges, Wuthering Waves is drawing comparisons to popular games like Genshin Impact with its gacha mechanic for obtaining new characters and weapons. To celebrate the game’s launch, Kuro Games is offering in-game rewards via promo codes. As players navigate through the game’s open-world experience, they are eagerly anticipating the resolution of technical issues and the official release of Yinlin as part of an upcoming event in mid-June.
