Fix #5 – Run WUCHANG Fallen Feathers in Windows Compatibility Mode

Compatibility issues with Windows 11 and 10 is one reason Unreal Engine 5 games crash to the desktop with the Fatal Error or the LowLevelFatalError. WUCHANG Fallen Feathers is no different, as it runs on Unreal Engine 5. Some players experience the Out of Video Memory crashes during shader compilation in WUCHANG due to the Windows compatibility issues. You can fix the Fatal Error crashes on launch by forcing Wuchang to run in compatibility mode for Windows 7 or 8. Here is how you can run WUCHANG Fallen Feathers in compatibility mode:

• Right-click WUCHANG Fallen Feathers in your Steam library > Manage > click the “Browse local files” option.
• A new Explorer Window will open containing the game’s files.

• Click the “Compatibility” tab and check the option “Run this program in compatibility mode for”. Click the dropdown button below this option and select Windows 8 or 7 (try both options one by one).
• Play Wuchang, and the Fatal Error crashes are now fixed.

Fix #6 – Ensure Stock GPU and Memory Clocks Usage For Your Graphics Card

WUCHANG Fallen Feathers is crashing on your PC at startup with the UE Fatal Error due to your overclocked graphics card. You can fix the error by reverting the graphics card to its default GPU and Memory clocks, which reduces the GPU load.

However, even if you haven’t overclocked your graphics card, it is still using higher GPU and Memory clocks than its respective reference model from NVIDIA or AMD. Graphics cards from NVIDIA and AMD AIB partners, like Zotac, ASUS, and MSI, use higher GPU and Memory clocks than their reference models. These higher clocks are crashing WUCHANG Fallen Feathers on startup, accompanied by a Fatal Error message.

You can fix these Fatal Error crashes by forcing your graphics card to use stock GPU and Memory clocks. For NVIDIA, you can do it by enabling the Debug Mode. As for AMD, you’ll have to manually underclock your GPU.

Use the Debug Mode for NVIDIA Graphics Card

Open the NVIDIA Control Panel, click the “Help” button from the top menu, and click the “Debug Mode” option. This will force your NVIDIA graphics card to use the reference clocks, which will fix the UE Project Plague Fatal Error crash on your PC.

Underclock your Graphics Card (AMD)

It is a simple task to force an NVIDIA graphics card to use its stock clocks. But for an AMD graphics card, it is a manual process as there is no option in the Adrenalin Software that would offer the same effect as the Debug Mode in the NVIDIA Control Panel.

• First, look up the recommended GPU and Memory clocks for your graphics card.
• Open AMD Adrenalin Software.
• Go to the “Performance” tab.
• Click the “Tuning” tab.
• Click on “Custom” under “Manual Tuning”.
• Enable “GPU Tuning” and also enable “Advanced control”.
• Three sliders will appear: Minimum Frequency, Maximum Frequency, and Voltage.
• You only need to adjust the “Max Frequency (MHz)” slider.
• Slide it a little bit to the left to lower it, and click the “Apply Changes” button at the top right. (Use the value that you find online.)
• Play WUCHANG Fallen Feathers, and the Fatal Error crash is fixed.

Fix #7 – Update BIOS or Underclock Intel Raptor Lake CPU

Intel Raptor Lake (13th and 14 Gen) CPUs are quite popular for their stability issues, and not in a good way. These CPUs have a technical issue where the motherboard provides unstable or high voltage, which can physically damage the processor. Due to this, games often crash with the Out of Video Memory error or Fatal Error, and it is quite prevalent in Unreal Engine games.

Intel has rolled out BIOS updates for its Raptor Lake CPUs, which fix this issue. So update your motherboard BIOS to fix the WUCHANG Fallen Feathers Fatal Error crash on your PC.

However, if the BIOS update doesn’t fix the error, then you’ll have to reduce the Performance Core Ratio of your Intel 13th or 14th-generation CPU.

• Download and install Intel Extreme Tuning Utility.
• Open the application and set the Performance Core ratio to 50x.
• Launch WUCHANG Fallen Feathers, and Fatal Error crashes are now fixed.
