Developer People Can Fly has released the next update for the demo of Outriders. This addresses the pesky crash issues and aims to fix a buggy feature on the Playstation consoles. MeinMMO has the patch notes for you.
This is included in the update: In addition to the already mentioned crash issues, the update focuses on an annoying problem with the touchpad of PS4 and PS5.
Furthermore, some minor issues with the demo version of the loot shooter have been resolved. MeinMMO summarizes the patch notes and reactions to the update for you.
Fixes for Crashes and Touchpad Sensitivity
These issues occurred previously: Since the release of the demo, players on various platforms have repeatedly complained about crashes. These could occur at any time, right in the middle of a battle or while loading a multiplayer session.
Unfortunately, the patch notes do not specify which of the various crash causes have been fixed. So it remains to be seen whether crashes still occur. At least they should not happen as often now. Perhaps the problem is now completely resolved.
Additionally, the touchpad issues for the Playstation consoles have been addressed. Some players frequently experienced accidentally opening the menu in the middle of combat because they barely touched the touchpad. That should not occur anymore.
What else has been fixed? Besides the fixes mentioned above, there are also some minor changes. Here’s a summary of the patch notes, which were published on Twitter:
- All platforms:
- Fixes for crash issues
- Fixes for minor bugs
- Backend improvements
- PS4 and PS5:
- Touchpad sensitivity has been adjusted
Unfortunately, there are no more specific details about this.
Players are pleased with the active support, hoping for time after release
How players react to the update: The first reactions to the update are positive. It’s not so much about the specific fixes, but rather how People Can Fly has continuously provided further updates since the demo launched on February 25.
For example, Paul Murphy writes on Twitter: “The amount of patches/fixes you have made for the demo really makes me optimistic about the future of the game. Well done!” Other players agree and appreciate the regular support and transparent communication from the developers.
Some say that other games should take a cue from this. PerfectedPlagueDoctor writes: “Imagine developers patching their demo more often than many big companies patch their full-price AAA games.”
- Similar reactions were already seen for the last update, which included a toggle function for the much-criticized motion blur feature.
- The communication surrounding serious bug that could empty players’ inventories.
Gameplay video shows what to expect in Outriders
This is included in the finished game: In an event from publisher Square Enix, Outriders also released a trailer showcasing gameplay scenes and summarizing the various features of the loot shooter. You can watch it here:
