Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty Update Ver.1.220 Adds Nioh 2 Collaboration and Shader Optimization
Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty Update Ver.1.220 introduces a Nioh 2 collaboration mission, expanded storage limits, pre-compiled shader improvements, and several combat adjustments.
The latest update for Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty arrives with crossover content from Nioh 2, quality-of-life storage increases, and system adjustments aimed at reducing gameplay stutter.
Collaboration Content and New Items
A new sub battlefield titled Twilight's Calling joins the game as part of the Nioh 2 collaboration. Accessible from the Travel menu after completing the main battlefield Behold the Glaive of Righteousness, this mission grants the Scampuss Hat headwear upon completion and offers random drops from enemies afterward. The update also adds new titles, records, and a Sentry of the Underworld entry to the Theater.
System and Performance Improvements
Shader pre-compilation has been improved to minimize gameplay lag. Shaders now automatically compile upon launch, and players can trigger a manual compilation via the title screen's System menu if graphics drivers update or lag persists. Maximum storage caps increase for Genuine Qi, upgrade materials, Genuine Qi-granting items, and Golden Horse Hooves. Additionally, the time required to render large quantities of visual effects has been reduced.
Combat and Thousand-Mile Journey Adjustments
Armor Break accumulation amounts are decreased for Feasting Ursine, Whistling Vortex, and Fanning Peacock. Mezuki is added to Boss Annihilation, Horde Eradication, and Onslaught of Warlords in the Thousand-Mile Journey, accompanied by adjustments to general enemy spawn probabilities in those modes.
Bug Fixes
Issues preventing game launch when installation paths include double-byte characters are resolved. Bugs causing moral rank loss and spirit disruption when nullifying critical blows with hammers or poleaxes are fixed. Weapon elemental values no longer drop improperly when imbued via wizardry spells on specific polearms. Additionally, fixes address unintended Cup of Cordiality consumption at Training Ground battle flags and correct descriptions regarding Armor Break mechanics on staffs.
Why this patch matters
Version 1.220 pairs crossover content with important technical groundwork, solving stutter problems while expanding inventory limits for endgame players.
