Alright, so, I’ve been pumped about “Black Myth: Wukong” like everyone else, right? The game finally dropped its 1.0.9.15179 update, a hefty 1.7GB download, and I was ready to jump in. But then, bam, the installation froze. What a mood killer!
First things first, I went through the usual motions. Checked my internet – stable as a rock. Restarted my PC, because, well, that’s the tech equivalent of a magic wand. No dice. The installation bar was just sitting there, mocking me. It gave me this annoying “Sorry, something went wrong” error every time, and I was about to pull my hair out.
I remembered reading somewhere that some updates can mess with mods. I don’t use mods, but I figured it could be some kind of conflict. So I did a quick check to make sure I didn’t have any stray files or anything. Nothing.
The “Aha!” Moment
Then I thought, maybe it’s my region settings? It’s a long shot, but why not. Changed my region settings on my PC. And guess what? It started working! I couldn’t believe it. Something so simple, and yet it did the trick. The update started rolling, and I was back in business.
Digging Deeper
But that wasn’t enough. I needed to make sure this wouldn’t happen again. Right-clicked on “Black Myth: Wukong” in my game library and went to “Properties.” Found the “Verify Integrity of Game Files” option and ran it. Took a while, but it’s always good to do this after a wonky update.
While I was at it, I also tinkered with the graphics settings. Heard some folks saying that lowering the settings helps with crashes, especially with ray tracing and stuff. I switched to windowed mode just to see if it made a difference, and it felt a bit smoother. Maybe it was just a placebo, but hey, it worked for me.
Some Extra Thoughts
- Fresh Download: If all else fails, a clean download from Steam could be a solution. It’s a pain, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.
- Graphics Settings: Tweaking the graphics settings could also fix stuttering issues. If your GPU is struggling, toning down the settings might help.
So yeah, that’s my little adventure with the “Black Myth: Wukong” update. It was frustrating, but I learned a thing or two. Hopefully, this helps someone out there avoid the same headache. Game on!
