If you are facing the same situation described above, the following methods will help fix the issue.
1. Use launcher.exe to Launch the Game
It has been observed that the issue can be fixed by launching the game through launcher.exe, located in the game’s installation directory, instead of launcher_epic.exe. This indicates that it is a short-term bug that will be fixed by the developer soon. Until the issue is resolved, it will be helpful to launch the game through launcher.exe rather than waiting for the issue to be fixed.
2. Verify the Game Files
If the above solution does not help, there might be corrupted files in the game’s installation directory preventing the game from launching. In this case, you can try verifying the game files to fix the corruption.
3. Configure the Compatibility Settings
In the vast majority of cases, configuring the compatibility settings correctly often resolves the issue of not launching. Compatibility settings include running the program as an administrator, disabling full-screen optimizations, and running the program in an older version of Windows, among others. By configuring these settings, you might be able to launch the game without any issues. If you have a shortcut created for Wuthering Waves, simply right-click on it and go to Properties. Otherwise, go to the game’s installation directory and right-click the Wuthering Waves executable file to open its Properties. If none of the solutions helped resolve the issue, the last solution you can try is to properly reinstall the game. By performing a reinstallation, all the corrupted files will be restored, which might resolve this issue.
