Simply days after pledging a repair for Star Wars Outlaws’ “unfair” and “extremely punishing” insta-fail stealth sequences, Ubisoft has launched a brand-new patch doing simply that – and it introduces a bunch of different options, together with cross-progression assist, too.
It is unclear how in depth these preliminary adjustments to stealth are in Outlaws’ new Title Replace 1.1.2, with as we speak’s patch notes failing to enter a lot element. They do, nonetheless, promise “tweaks and enchancment on some difficult stealth moments”, with an extra be aware confirming the “degree of detection [has been] adjusted relying on location”, and that gamers at the moment are “much less more likely to be detected whereas rolling.”
1.1.2’s subsequent huge addition is assist for cross-progression and cross-saving through Ubisoft Join, and that is accompanied by the likes of PC efficiency enhancements and optimisations, crash fixes and stability enhancements throughout all platforms, plus varied bug fixes. The Hyperspace mission has been fastened, as an example, that means gamers can lastly take off, and PS5 gamers can now unlock the Previous College Cool trophy and platinum the sport.
Star Wars Outlaws’ 1.1.2 replace weighs in at 1.92GB on PS5, 2.25GB on Xbox Sequence X/S, and 1.89GB on PC. Full patch notes – which do not embody all of the deliberate tweaks Star Wars Outlaws director Julian Gerighty lately outlined – may be discovered on Ubisoft’s web site.
Sadly, Eurogamer’s Chris Tapsell felt Star Wars Outlaws’ flaws ran significantly deeper than its wonky stealth in his two out of 5 evaluate. “The result’s a collection of fairly painful comparisons,” he wrote. “It lacks the branching, open stealth of an Arkham sport, the systemic choices of a Dishonored or the incisive, relentlessly satisfying pace of selecting enemies off in Murderer’s Creed. It lacks the linear polish and charisma of Uncharted. Lacks the animation circulate to its yellow-ledge platforming subsequent to a Horizon, or the sheer pleasure of taking platforming and making it into an precise sport in itself, as in Star Wars Jedi.”
