Game Science has released a new Black Myth: Wukong update that addresses several bugs and nerfs one particularly tough boss. Notably, update 1.0.8.14860 fixes a problem in which turning on FSR could cause the game to crash, especially during the game’s startup or prologue.
Players who have experienced crashes in certain parts of the Webbed Hollow, particularly when NVIDIA Full Ray Tracing is on, won’t have to worry about this issue going forward. The update also introduces a number of visual improvements, especially for character models.
Thankfully, Captain Wise-Voice has been nerfed, making the tough opponent easier for players to handle.
Check out the full patch notes for Black Myth: Wukong update 1.0.8.14860 below:

Additionally, we have identified an issue where setting the system language to Turkish on PS5 causes the game to crash on launch. Similarly, on the PC version, setting Windows system language to Turkish may lead to occasional crashes during certain boss fights.
If you encounter this issue, the current temporary workaround is to change the console language to English or another language via the PS5 main menu: Settings > System > Language > Console Language. For the PC version, please change the Windows display language to English or another language via the operating system settings: Settings > Time & Language > Language & Region > Windows display language.
We are actively working to resolve this issue and will fix it in an upcoming patch. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
Black Myth: Wukong was released on August 20, for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. An Xbox Series X/S version is still in development. The game has already sold over 10 million copies across all platforms.
