"Black Myth: Wukong" is a cloud game with a limited fee, allowing players who do not have high-end computers to experience this domestic masterpiece. However, its popularity has also brought about a series of practical problems such as queuing and startup failures.
The true meaning of cloud game limited exemption
Many people mistakenly believe that 16personalities Chinese and cloud game limited exemption are equivalent to being able to play "Black Myth: Wukong" for free. This is a common misunderstanding. In fact, players must first buy the game itself before they can enjoy the limited-free service on Tencent's START cloud gaming platform. The so-called "limited exemption" here specifically refers to the fact that when you experience it on the START platform, you do not need to pay additional membership fees, and it will not consume the original cloud game time on the platform.
This shows that the purchase threshold of the game itself still exists. If you have not made a purchase when you open the game on START, the system will pop up a purchase page to guide you to complete the transaction. The purpose of this is to protect the basic income of game developers, and at the same time use cloud services to lower the hardware threshold for players. This is a strategy that balances business and popularity.
Single experience duration and archiving strategy
In order to enable server resources to be shared by more players, the START platform has set a limit for the duration of a single experience for the "Black Myth: Wukong" cloud game, which is currently determined to be two hours. After reaching the specified time, players must log out of the game and log in again to continue the experience. This design is mainly used to prevent a small number of users from occupying the scarce cloud computing power for a long time.
The platform will issue a system prompt in advance to remind players to save game progress in a timely manner. Given that the operating environment of cloud games is remote, stable network connections are extremely critical. It is recommended that players develop the habit of manual archiving during the experience and pay attention to platform prompts to prevent accidental loss of game progress due to timeout and disconnection.
Selection strategy for two entrances
In response to the situation of queuing, the platform provides two entrances, namely the normal version and the high-end version. The normal version is a subsequent entrance and uses a basic cloud configuration. The game screen can support 1080P resolution but does not turn on ray tracing. Its most prominent advantage is that there are fewer people in the queue, allowing you to quickly enter the game and concentrate on the core combat experience.
The first open entrance is the high-end version, which is equipped with GPU and server resources specially optimized for "Black Myth: Wukong". It can support up to 4K resolution and ray tracing, and can show the top visual details of the game. However, due to the large number of applicants, the waiting time in line is often long. The platform does not have priority queuing rights for members, so it is more efficient to play during peak hours or choose the regular version.
Universality and management of cloud archives
No matter which entrance you use to experience cloud games, your archives will be unified and will not conflict with each other. This is because Tencent Cloud’s archiving function provides support, and all game progress data is stored on the cloud server, thus ensuring a consistent experience. Players who log in from different entrances at different times can continue the previous adventure.
Please note that if you play simultaneously on your local computer and on the cloud gaming platform, it is very likely that two file points with different progress will be generated. In this case , the next time you start the game, the system will ask you to manually select the save file you want to load. Players are advised to use one game mode as often as possible to avoid progress disruptions and strive to ensure a smooth and unhindered gaming experience.
Solutions to common startup problems
Some players reported that the game was unresponsive when entering the startup interface. There is an effective solution, which is to click on the property settings in the lower left corner of the startup interface, find the cloud save option, manually perform the "upload to server" operation, and then click to start the game. This process can refresh the cloud connection status.
Another way is to click the menu in the lower right corner of the "Starting" page, choose to close and exit, and then restart the game completely. After waiting for about a minute, the game may crash and close. At this time, start it again from the START game details page, and generally you can enter normally. These actions mainly resolve connection issues during the initial handshake phase.
Device Support and Future Outlook
For players, cloud games have extremely low requirements on their local device configuration environment. Even if you are using a Mac, or an ordinary Win computer or smart TV, as long as you can achieve stable and stable access to the network, you can play the game "Black Myth: Wukong" through the START platform. This platform fully supports Xbox mode controller control, providing players with a control experience close to that of the console.
Currently, in terms of image quality, START provides all players of "Black Myth: Wukong" with the ultimate image quality equivalent to SVIP and a 60-frame option for free, and does not require membership to unlock it. The platform has publicly promised that there are no plans to end the limited exemption in the short term. The purpose is to allow more players to experience this domestic 3A work without hardware restrictions. As technology is optimized, there is hope for further improvement in future experience.
