Where Winds Meet Character Creation Code Not Working: Fixes

Fix Where Winds Meet appearance codes that fail to load, show the wrong face, or skip cosmetics with this practical troubleshooting checklist.
A failed Where Winds Meet character creation code usually comes from formatting, an outdated preset, or cosmetics that are not available on your account. Work through the checks below before assuming the game is broken.
## Confirm the code type
Appearance codes belong in Import Customization Data. They are not redeem codes, promo strings, or account rewards. If the code came from a screenshot or social post, confirm that it is a full customization string.
## Recopy the code
Copy the complete string again. Check for missing plus signs, lowercase or uppercase changes, hidden spaces, and characters that were split across a line. Do not type a long code manually unless you have no alternative.
## Try a QR image
If the creator posted a QR version, use it. QR import can avoid copy-and-paste errors, although the image must be clear enough for the game to read.
## Expect missing cosmetics
If the face loads but the hair, clothing, makeup, or accessories look different, check whether you own the referenced cosmetics. Current source guidance says unowned items may be skipped without making the entire preset invalid.
## Update and restart
Close the game, update the client, and enter the code again. A preset may have been created under a different client build or removed from a creator gallery.
## Protect an existing face
Take screenshots of your current sliders before applying a new preset. If you are editing an established character, do not overwrite the old look until the imported result is confirmed.
If the code still fails after these checks, treat it as unavailable or version-specific and try another community preset.
