The Nexus Mods page for Wuchang: Fallen Feathers currently features a top-downloaded modification that promises significant PC performance improvements. Created by modder P40L0, the Ultimate Engine Tweaks mod aims to reduce stuttering, enhance visual clarity, decrease input latency, and boost frame rates. This comes as welcome news for players struggling with the game's technical issues since its July 24 release.

Developed by Leenzee and published by 505 Games, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is a Chinese mythology-inspired Soulslike that initially attracted over 100,000 concurrent players on Steam. However, widespread PC performance problems led to review bombing, resulting in an "Overwhelmingly Negative" rating on the platform. Many players blamed Unreal Engine 5's optimization challenges for the game's technical shortcomings.

The Ultimate Engine Tweaks mod has generated significant discussion in the gaming community. User reports indicate performance gains ranging from 10 to 30 FPS, though results vary depending on hardware specifications. While the mod creator acknowledges it doesn't eliminate all stuttering completely, most players report a noticeably smoother experience compared to the game's default settings.

Installation involves downloading the mod file and placing it in the appropriate game directory, with different paths for Steam and Game Pass versions. The mod's description page provides detailed instructions for both platforms. Interestingly, the modification works by adjusting fundamental Unreal Engine 5 settings, meaning its principles could potentially benefit other UE5 titles as well.
