Despite a good critical reception from the press, Star Wars Jedi Survivor had a complicated launch, especially on PC since the game is experiencing major technical problems. Ray-Tracing, HDR and many bugs, this is what is blamed on this version which is by far the most impacted. Electronic Arts and the Respawn Entertainment teams are obviously aware, and above all on a war footing to correct as many bugs as possible. The two companies have also decided to be transparent and communicate as much as possible about updates and other patches. Exactly, we learned yesterday that a patch was deployed on Tuesday, May 9 for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X | S versions, and that the PC version will benefit from these patches a little later in the week.
Here is the list of items that have been fixed:
- (PC only) Updated raytracing occlusion behavior, reducing downtime
