How to fix the cutscene audio delay bug in Wuthering Waves

When faced with the issue during the final cutscenes of the available main storyline, I was able to decrease the delay to an almost unnoticeable degree by disabling V-Sync and changing my screen mode to Windowed. You can find the option to do both by heading to Graphic Settings while under the settings menu.

How to fix the No Audio Bug

Another common occurrence in WuWa seems to be a bug where either the music stops or the menus and your characters become unable to produce sound. Although there’s not a guaranteed solution to it, here are a few ways we and the rest of the community managed to fix the No Audio Bug in Wuthering Waves:

  • Fast Travel to any location.
  • Enter any Challenge situated in a domain.
  • Restart the game.

How to fix stuttering and audio delays in the field

If you are experiencing stuttering and audio delays while in active gameplay, tweaking your graphical settings might do the trick. I recommend that those facing the issue disable Motion Blur. Disabling Volumetric Fog and Lighting will also take a massive load off your system. For some, turning V-Sync off can also help. If the problem persists after doing all of the above, then try to lower either your other settings or your overall resolution.

If the performance issues are not caused by your system but by a bug, I found that changing your graphic settings to a different preset and then returning them to how you usually play can sometimes mysteriously fix it. According to some, simply running around to force a few stutters can also solve the issue. Keep in mind that a problem in your connection can also sometimes generate both stuttering and audio delays. To counter that, make sure to play on the server closest to you and frequently check your connection quality.
