Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is a solid Soulslike marred by sundry performance issues on PC, which has lead to “mostly negative” user reviews of the game on Steam. On Wednesday, developer Team Ninja rolled out a new update for the PlayStation and Steam versions of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty that will give players of the PC version will see some relief for technical problems. (The update for Xbox and Windows Store versions of Wo Long will roll out “soon.”)
According to Team Ninja’s patch notes, two major concerns for the PC version of Wo Long have been addressed: camera controls when using a mouse (and keyboard), and “crash-prone situations that occurred in certain environments.” Other visual bugs are addressed in the game’s latest patch, but it’s unclear just how far Team Ninja’s fixes go at this point. It seems like the studio still has some work to do to address Wo Long’s lag and co-op multiplayer problems.
Team Ninja says it’s working on it. On Twitter, the studio said, “Other issues that have been reported and inquired about continue to be investigated and dealt with, and we are working on the next patch to address these issues, so please wait for further updates.”
Read on for the full patch notes.
