There's a known issue where Wuthering Waves doesn't open when using the Epic Games launcher, and here's how to fix it. How to launch Wuthering Waves in Epic Games Wuthering Waves uses its own launcher, and if you tried opening it through Epic Games on PC, you likely noticed that nothing happens. While there's no direct fix, you can launch the game using the launcher.exe file in the game's folder. Here's how to find it: Open Epic Games and find Wuthering Waves in the Library Click the three dots and select Manage In the Installation section, click the folder icon to open the game files Look for the launcher.exe application in this folder (it should have an admin icon) Launch the application Don't\u00a0use the launcher_epic file, as it doesn't work. After asking for admin permissions, the\u00a0Wuthering Waves\u00a0launcher will open, and you can navigate it as you would with games like\u00a0Genshin Impact\u00a0and\u00a0Honkai: Star Rail.\u00a0This\u00a0is also where you can fully\u00a0preload\u00a0the game\u00a0ahead of\u00a0its\u00a0release. Keep in mind\u00a0that\u00a0if you previously tried to launch\u00a0Wuthering Waves\u00a0through the Epic Games launcher, the faulty launcher's process is likely still running in the background, and it will keep running even if you close Epic Games. To deal with it, open the Task Manager, find the KRLauncherEpic process, and end it. Open the Epic Games launcher, and if\u00a0Wuthering Waves\u00a0isn't marked\u00a0as Running, then everything is back to normal. There's no information from Kuro Games regarding this issue, so I recommend you create a shortcut of the working launcher and pin it somewhere on your desktop or toolbar to have easy access to the game until it's fixed.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/WutheringWaves_multiplayer-1.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1237324"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2334"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1237324"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1237324\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1237383,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1237324\/revisions\/1237383"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1185087"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1237324"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1237324"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1237324"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1237324"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1237324"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1237324"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1237324"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

There's a known issue where Wuthering Waves doesn't open when using the Epic Games launcher, and here's how to fix it. How to launch Wuthering Waves in Epic Games Wuthering Waves uses its own launcher, and if you tried opening it through Epic Games on PC, you likely noticed that nothing happens. While there's no direct fix, you can launch the game using the launcher.exe file in the game's folder. Here's how to find it: Open Epic Games and find Wuthering Waves in the Library Click the three dots and select Manage In the Installation section, click the folder icon to open the game files Look for the launcher.exe application in this folder (it should have an admin icon) Launch the application Don't\u00a0use the launcher_epic file, as it doesn't work. After asking for admin permissions, the\u00a0Wuthering Waves\u00a0launcher will open, and you can navigate it as you would with games like\u00a0Genshin Impact\u00a0and\u00a0Honkai: Star Rail.\u00a0This\u00a0is also where you can fully\u00a0preload\u00a0the game\u00a0ahead of\u00a0its\u00a0release. Keep in mind\u00a0that\u00a0if you previously tried to launch\u00a0Wuthering Waves\u00a0through the Epic Games launcher, the faulty launcher's process is likely still running in the background, and it will keep running even if you close Epic Games. To deal with it, open the Task Manager, find the KRLauncherEpic process, and end it. Open the Epic Games launcher, and if\u00a0Wuthering Waves\u00a0isn't marked\u00a0as Running, then everything is back to normal. There's no information from Kuro Games regarding this issue, so I recommend you create a shortcut of the working launcher and pin it somewhere on your desktop or toolbar to have easy access to the game until it's fixed.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/WutheringWaves_multiplayer-1.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1237324"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2334"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1237324"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1237324\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1237383,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1237324\/revisions\/1237383"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1185087"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1237324"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1237324"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1237324"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1237324"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1237324"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1237324"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1237324"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
