How to fix Wuthering Waves crashing on start up

Wuthering Waves has been picking up some notoriety recently as the next Genshin Impact of Gacha games. However, a few systems issues have arisen even before players can hop into the full release. If you’re experiencing this problem, we’re going to go through the steps and explain how to fix Wuthering Waves crashing on start up.

The issue of WUWA crashing on start up seems to be isolated to a mainly Android issue. Usually, with Gacha games, players will download the game from the app store. This is nothing more than downloading a launcher, as when you start up the game, you’ll usually have to download the bulk of it through this method.

Unfortunately for Android users, the ability to download the rest of the game is locked away, as the game repeatedly crashes when attempting to open the game. The developers quickly took to X (formerly Twitter) to address the issue and give players a swift fix hours before the full game went live. The sooner you can make sure your game works, the sooner you can hop into the game and try multiplayer.

As you can see, all you have to do to remedy this issue is uninstalling and reinstalling the game from your respective storefront. For most Android users this is going to be the Google Play Store, and the process should be fairly straightforward. So if you downloaded Wuthering Waves on Android to prepare for the full release but never opened the game, you should check and see if it works. I know I had to double-check my download as it seemed to be getting stuck at 99% once I was able to open the game.
