If you’ve installed Wuthering Waves through the official website, try the following troubleshooting techniques:

1. Repair the client through the Launcher: Click on the Wrench icon in the top right corner of the page, and choose the “Scan and Repair” option.
2. Disable fullscreen optimization: Once you’ve located the .exe launcher file, right-click on it, select Properties > Compatability, and click “Disable Fullscreen Optimization“.
3. Make sure the latest version of Microsoft Visual C++ is installed and restart your device. You can download the most up-to-date edition of the software via the Microsoft store.
