How to Change Game Language in Wuthering Waves

The Issue with Changing Languages

So, Wuthering Waves is about to launch, and players want to start the game in their preferred voice-over language. The game supports four voice-over languages (English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean) and many text languages, but there's no easy way to set these before launching the game.

Workaround Method

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Uninstall the Game Client First, you need to uninstall the current game client.

  2. Change System Language Change your system language to the one you prefer for the voice-over.

  3. Reinstall the Game Client Reinstall the game client. The client will download the voice-over files in your system language.

  4. Verify Downloads Start the game client to make sure all voice-over files are downloaded.

  5. Revert System Language Change your system language back to your original language. The game client should remain in your preferred voice-over language.

    [game directory]\Wuthering Waves Game\Client\Saved\Resources\1.0.0\Resource_[preferred language]

Example

pakchunk23-WindowsNoEditor.pak (300 MB) located at [game directory]\Wuthering Waves Game\Client\Saved\Resources\1.0.0\Resource_[your preferred language]

Testing and Verification

This method was tested with the Chinese-language client on an originally English system. It worked fine, and it should work for other languages like Japanese and Korean.

Alternative Methods

Using a Dummy Account

Create a dummy account and start the game. Skip everything until you can access the settings menu, change the voice-over language, and uninstall the unnecessary files. Then log in with your real account.

Using Guest Accounts

If the game supports guest accounts, use one to skip cutscenes and change the settings. Then log in with your real account.

Final Thoughts

It's a bit of a hassle, but until the developers allow for independent language settings from the start, this method works. Hopefully, they will fix this soon for a smoother experience.

Hope everyone enjoys the game launch!
