The new version of Wuthering Waves makes the player “stand still”
Recently, the Watching Waves game has launched version 2.1 and allows players to download resources on both PC and mobile. However, it is worth mentioning that even a version, but the capacity that the game requires is extremely high.
Specifically, with the PC version, version 2.1 requires up to 44GB of capacity, weighing almost equivalent to the current capacity of the whole game. According to recommendations from Kuro Games, the player's computer will need at least 60 GB of empty capacity. With the mobile version, the new update weighs up to 25GB – a terrible number that makes every player terrified.
Real damage to the super heavy version of Wutuing Waves
In fact, 2.1 is not a great version with many new content. However, the reason why this version is so heavy is because the Pre-Download mechanism of Wuthering Waves works unlike other games. Instead of just downloading small update files to graft into the current game, Wutuering Waves's Pre-Download System will download a new complete game version.
When the game version is officially launched, the system will automatically replace almost all the old data with the previous Pre-Download. Finally, from the 44GB above, the game capacity will only increase by a maximum of 4-5GB. This problem has occurred from the first updates, but increasingly, the capacity of the game is heavier, making many gamers unable to get bored whenever the update is conducted.
This approach also has many different and harmful aspects. Because, the new download of a new complete game version will help reduce the risk of errors when updating, improving performance and optimizing the game as well as creating a seamless gaming experience. However, its inadequacies are the problem of the device's capacity. For older models, with limited capacity, this is a difficult problem for users.
