WILD HEARTS Patch - Tuesday, February 21, 2023

Addressing PC Issues, More Fixes Incoming

Good news, hunters! A patch has just been deployed to PC today that addresses the following issues, including fixes to address frame rate performance:

• Fixed an issue where certain high-end CPUs were being unintentionally capped. High-end PC’s should see some performance improvements now.
• Fixed an issue where some sounds were not playing or were being delayed, causing the audio to stack. This ‘audio stacking’ issue was also causing strain on players’ CPU. As a result of this fix, players should see performance improvements across the board. The workaround using 5.1/7.1 audio is no longer necessary on PC.
• Setting default resolution to 16:9 1080p on first boot. The recommended spec for WILD HEARTS is aligned to a 16:9 1080p display, for first time users this will now be the default setting. You can change this setting to the resolution of your choice in-game.
• Fixed render issue (disco lights) when using an AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX.
• Fixed an issue on the save/load screen that could result in corrupted save data.

We are working on getting the audio and save/load fixes called out above deployed to PS5 and Xbox X|S next week, and we’ll update you as soon as we can with a more specific date. The team at Omega Force thanks you for your patience and support, we will continue to hunt down and slay performance issues in future updates.

Stay safe and stay sharp, hunters.
