If you are wondering about the 120 FPS Wuthering Waves issue, then I have all the information that you need, but you may need to be a little patient because there are some issues the devs need to work out first.

Can you play Wuthering Waves at 120 FPS?

So, can you run Wuthering Waves at 120FPS? Not right now. That is the simple answer. The reason this is such an issue for people is that they were able to play the game at 120 FPS during the beta, but now that the full release has gone live, that option is gone. Folks are mad and want to know why.

To put it simply, the 120 FPS option was causing some problems for players, resulting in glitches. As such, developer Kuro Games has opted to disable that option in the 1.0 version of the game and bring it back as soon as possible after they have all the bugs ironed out. “While the dev team is solving the problem, this feature will be unavailable during the period. We will inform you when this feature is available in future updates. Thanks for your patience and support,” say the devs.

As soon as the option returns, all you need to do is go into your main menu, then the graphics options, and select 120 FPS from the appropriate selector menu. While there are ways to bypass this right now, should you want to, it is not something that I would recommend due to the impact that it might have on your game stability. While there are effective ways to juke that disabling of the 120 FPS option, this isn’t done by magic. You would still be forcing the game engine to run at an FPS that the developer feels is too unstable to provide a satisfactory experience to players. So, if you HAVE taken steps to do one of the workarounds and are wondering why your game might be crashing, now you know why.

It seems like the best idea for now is to just wait and play at 60 FPS, and then we can all enjoy a smooth 120 FPS experience when the developers have it fully polished and ready to go.
