Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Patch 9 Makes Improvements to PC Version and Removes Denuvo DRM

12. syyskuuta - Syndicated News | 0 kommenttia

EA developer Respawn has released Patch 9 for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, its single-player romp in the galaxy far, far away.

The patch notes, below, outline significant performance upgrades to the 2023 game, but only on PC. First and foremost, some fans will be pleased to hear EA has removed Denuvo DRM, meaning digital rights management some believe affects performance.

Other performance improvements include framerate upgrades, ray tracing optimization, and improvements to keyboard and mouse gameplay. Several bug fixes have been made too.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor launched last year to positive critical reception and commercial success but some users were left with a buggy, broken version of the game, even after a big day one download.

Respawn released plenty of patches in the weeks following launch, though in the year since has grown more and more quiet.

In our 9/10 review of the running well version, IGN said: "If Respawn makes a third game like Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and Fallen Order, it'll complete the best Star Wars trilogy in 30 years, hands down."

Meanwhile, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor launches on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on September 17, and Respawn has shared extended gameplay footage of the game captured on the PlayStation 4 Pro. In the five-minute showcase, Jedi Knight Cal Kestis faces off against the Empire’s forces in the bowels of Coruscant, navigates the treacherous mountain paths and Shattered Moon of Koboh, and weathers the desert sands of Jedha with Nightsister Merrin by his side.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor targets 1080p 30fps on PS4 Pro, 1440p 30fps on Xbox One X, 900p 30fps for PS4, and 720p 30fps on Xbox One.

The PS4 and Xbox One editions of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor sell for $49.99 and have been optimized for the previous generation’s console hardware, EA said.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Patch 9 Notes

This patch focuses primarily on performance and quality of life improvements for the PC version of the game.

Performance Improvements:

Framerate improvements for various hardware configurations.
Fixes for several sources of framerate hitching for smoother gameplay.
Ray Tracing has been optimized for CPU usage and should now scale better for high-end GPUs.
Fixes for performance related to using a mouse as gameplay input.

Quality of Life:

The “Optimizing Game Files” screen has been optimized and can now see speed increases from multiple CPU cores.
Mouse and keyboard functionality has been improved across a variety of menu screens, including the first time user screens, title menu, game menu, and workbench.

Bug Fixes:

Fixed collision issue where players could fall through elevators at low framerates.
Fix for a conversation-related crash when walking away from NPC characters.
Fix for various, intermittent crashes.

General:

Denuvo DRM has been removed.

Helldivers 2’s Next Premium Warbond Adds Chemical Weapons, New Stratagems, and a Pull My Finger Emote

12. syyskuuta - Syndicated News | 0 kommenttia

Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead has revealed the PC and PlayStation 5 co-op shooter's next Premium Warbond, dubbed Chemical Agents, alongside a September 19 release date.

While Chemical Agents does not include any new weapons, it adds two stratagem variants — the TX-41 Sterilizer, which lets you spray a gas at the Terminids and Automatons, and the Guard Dog's ‘Dog Breath,’ which is a corrosive gas sprayer — and, in keeping with the alien exterminator theme, the G-4 Gas grenade, which covers the whole area in a cloud of noxious fumes.

Explaining the decision to include new stratagem variants but no new weapons, Katherine Baskin, social media and community manager at Arrowhead, said in a post on the {LINKKI POISTETTU}PlayStation Blog: “Adding stratagem variants to Warbonds is new with Chemical Agents, but our designers felt that since gas is a crowd control tool, it made more sense to release stratagems and let Helldivers choose the primary weapons they love the most.

"Not only that, but this is bringing some serious variety to Chemical Agents that we hope players will enjoy.”

As you’d expect, the Warbond also adds new armor, which has the Advanced Filtration passive (gives the player resistance to the gas clouds they’ll be generating), new capes, new patterns, and new emotes, including the co-emote Natural Gas Extraction (you get another player to pull your finger). There’s even an ‘Ew’ victory pose for use back on the ship.

Elsewhere, there are new player banners, a new player title, and a new utility: the P-11 Stim Pistol, which lets you shoot minor heals.

As with previous Premium Warbonds, expect Freedom’s Flame to cost 1,000 Super Credits. While you can earn Super Credits from gameplay and the warbond itself, you can also buy them for real-world money. Via the in-game shop, 1,000 Super Credits costs $9.99. Premium Warbonds do not expire, so you can work your way through them at your own pace safe in the knowledge their items will remain available.

Chemical Agents launches two days after Helldivers 2’s hotly anticipated 01.001.007 update, which goes live on September 17. Arrowhead has been teasing its patch notes, which promise to buff many of the game’s weapons and stratagems as the developer battles to bring Helldivers 2’s somewhat disgruntled playerbase back on-side following a rocky few months.
