After a recent release Wild Hearts has been having some technical issues with performance. After some crashes, reports from fans of some awful issues with frame rates were made, with some even more hilarious solutions.
Omega Force – the developers – have acknowledged the existence of said issues, and have recently published an update for the game on the 21st of February.
Wild Hearts performance issues fix live now
The fix has been announced to be taking place this week, but who knows how long into this week that may by. According to Omega Force, the patch will improve PC performance, allowing Wild Hearts to be “comfortably run.”
Omega Force had recently released a statement via Reddit:
“Omega Force are working continuously to improve performance and optimise the game for a wide variety of hardware specs across future updates. We have a patch coming next week that addresses a CPU bottleneck problem the team discovered; this should improve performance across mid-high end CPUs. The team are also actively working on DLSS and FSR support which will arrive in a future patch.”
Since the issues have arisen Omega Force have also said that they will start implementing monthly patches and updates starting in March. Hopefully this means the team are able to keep on top of issues like this in the future.

Is Wild Hearts coming to Xbox Game Pass?
However, while those fixes are general fixes that might help out with preventing the game from crashing, the community has recently found a much more reliable fix for performance issues. This has actually resulted in the developers actually praising the players who found this fix.
It seems as though changing your audio settings from Stereo to 7.1 / 5.1 is the solution to all of Wild Hearts recent issues. Strange indeed.
