The new Ghost Recon Wildlands update brings the long-awaited PvP mode Ghost War. What else is changing, we will show you in the patch notes.
With a new title update, Ghost Recon Wildlands resolves some issues in the game. However, the biggest change of the update is the PvP mode “Ghost War,” which will be available after the update. You will encounter each other on eight different maps with twelve classes and let your teams clash there.
We will show you what is changing here.
Update 8 – Patch Notes
Today, on October 10, the maintenance work on the “Ghost Recon Wildlands” servers began. From this evening around 7:00 PM, the patch should then be available for console players on PS4 and Xbox One. From October 12, the patch will be available for PC players.
On consoles, the update is about 11 GB large. PC players on Steam will download 4.7 GB – the UPlay variant is 9.5 GB large.
Many bug fixes and improvements have been made to Ghost Recon Wildlands with this update. For example, connectivity issues in the campaign have been addressed. To resolve frequent connection problems, the GRW network has now been reinforced with relay servers. These servers are also available for the PvP mode Ghost War.
The relay servers transport network packets between players that do not have a stable peer-to-peer connection. The servers are located in many different places to allow for fast packet exchange.
Here we include the official patch notes for the 8th title update:
Operations / Story
- – Correction of a bug in “El Cardinal” where the player could not restart freely after failing the operation.
User Interface
- – Correction of a bug where a “NEW” tag appeared on gear even if no newly unlocked items were present.
- – Correction of a bug where the “Rocket Incoming” warning was displayed too late.
- – Correction of some cases where earned prestige points were not displayed on the screen.
COOP
- – Correction of a bug where a player was not kicked from the lobby when the command was given by multiple players.
- – Establishment of relay servers for better connections between players
Gameplay
- – Correction of a bug where a player shooting from the trunk of a vehicle could lose control of their character.
- – Improvement of the helicopter landing animation.
Stability
- – Correction of a bug where users of the Norton antivirus software had issues starting the game.
NARCO ROAD
- – Correction of a bug in “El Invisible” where the failed operation screen did not appear and the operation became unplayable.
- – Correction of mouse input accuracy for the new helicopter control scheme. We have implemented mouse acceleration that decreases as the helicopter gains speed and slows down when the player is driving, as the previous implementation lost its angular velocity too quickly.
- – Correction of a bug where the car doors always appeared closed when using NVidia Ansel.
Ghost War Release
In addition to the many improvements and corrections, the patch brings the free PvP update “Ghost War” to the game. A tactical experience where two four-player teams compete against each other. Console players can already start this mode on October 10, after the maintenance work ends. PC players will have to wait for the maintenance work on October 12.
At launch, Ghost War offers you a choice from 12 different classes and 8 maps. A clever combination of team, tactics, and classes can lead you to victory.
