🎮 Black Myth: Wukong – Patch 1.0.20.21756 is Live (Oct 13, 2024)
🚀 Huge performance overhaul. 93.3GB download. Be ready.

🔥 Key Highlights

✅ Performance & Visuals (All Platforms)

• Massive performance improvements across CPU, rendering, memory usage, and load times.
• Enhanced texture clarity and smoother motion blur, reducing aliasing during camera pans.
• Loading speed up significantly on PS5.
• Improved lighting quality when Global Illumination is set to Low — now much closer to High settings.

💻 PC-Specific Upgrades

• ✅ Integrated AMD FSR4 support (requires updated drivers and enabling in AMD settings).
• ✅ Better Compatible Mode: Automatically disables ray tracing, frame generation, and super-resolution if system instability is detected — helps prevent crashes.
• ✅ Optimized default graphics settings for various GPUs.
• ✅ Shader recompilation may occur; if crashes happen, restart until complete.

🎮 PS5-Specific Fixes

• Performance Mode now capped at 60Hz (reduced input lag, higher resolution than before).
• Legacy Performance Mode retained, now labeled "Performance Mode (Legacy)".
• Game rewritten during install — uninstalling and reinstalling may save space vs. patching on top.

🌍 New Features & Fixes

• 🌐 Added Czech language support.
• 🛠️ Multiple bug fixes:
  • Bosses like Yaoguai King "Giant Shigandang" now more balanced.
  • Fixed texture/display issues in key fights (e.g., Top Takes Bottom & Bottom Takes Top).
  • Fixed screen ghosting, flickering, and crashes (especially with DLSS 4 + ray tracing).
  • Fixed localization bugs (text overlap, subtitles, voiceovers, typos).

⚠️ Critical Advice for Players

❗ If you’re on PC and use mods:

• Uninstall all mods before updating.
• Verify game file integrity after patching.
• This patch contains major underlying changes that may break mod compatibility or prevent game launch.

❗ If you’re on PS5 and short on storage:

• Uninstall and redownload the game instead of patching in-place — you might save space and avoid install issues.

❗ Storage Warning:

• PC users: Ensure enough free disk space (not necessarily same drive) for temporary files during install.
• Large update size? Try reinstalling if patch fails.

❗ Shader Recompilation?

• If game crashes during startup, restart it several times — the shaders will compile in the background.
