Patch Highlights and Improvement Details
After the initial PlayStation 5 launch in June 2023, this big-league RPG sold over three million copies in just a week, but that doesn’t mean everything has been smooth sailing. With the game hitting PC in September 2024, players found themselves battling crashes, graphical glitches, and a lack of features that didn’t live up to expectations.
The latest patch, dubbed Patch 1.02, goes to war against those problems. Here’s a quick rundown of what’s been tweaked:
- Mouse scrolling issues have been addressed for those using different aspect ratios, particularly anything other than the standard 16:9.
- Players can rejoice as overall game performance gets an upgrade thanks to some adjustments in the Graphics Fidelity settings.
- Also, it’s worth noting that the shadow quality settings now cater to all quality levels low, medium, and high which is aimed at boosting performance.
If you’ve been having problems with graphics not displaying properly, those quirks are also tackled in this patch. Users on certain hardware setups will find a noticeable drop in unexpected crashes, giving you a better chance to explore and face foes head-on without interruptions.
Community Response and Future Optimization Outlook
Despite the fixes, many in the gaming community are still crying out for greater optimization going forward. The Final Fantasy franchise has faced its shares of PC port hiccups in the past, with titles like Final Fantasy 13 notorious for performance issues and crashes. Fans have noted the absence of ultrawide support in this latest title, which has led modders to step in and provide that much-wanted feature. Add to that the locked 30 FPS for in-game cinematics and missing FOV slider, and you’ve got a port that’s still in need of some TLC.
The community is excited to see what Square Enix does next, especially with news of a multiplatform strategy that could lead to fresh content for all major consoles including the exciting upcoming launch of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth on PC.
With all these developments in the works, it seems that the journey through Valisthea is just beginning and we can’t wait to see where it leads!
