The next Pokémon GO update is already on its way to you. In version 0.79.3 for Android and 1.49.3 for iOS, bugs are being fixed again.
A new version for Pokémon GO is currently rolling out. Although patch 0.79.2 was announced on October 14, the developers surprised us on October 16 with the next update. This is supposed to fix some bugs in the game again.
Update 0.79.3 / 1.49.3
With a new update, the Pokémon GO developers aim to eliminate more bugs from the game. In social media, the Pokémon GO team announced the new update and stated: “Trainers, Pokémon GO will be updated to version 0.79.3 for Android and 1.49.3 for iOS to incorporate bug fixes.”
There are no official details about which bugs are involved and whether the GO-Plus problems have finally been fixed.
The data miners are looking more closely: Each update is closely scrutinized by data miners. They check whether there are any further changes that Niantic did not mention. However, in update 0.79.3, there are really only bug fixes.
The last update with version number 0.79.2 already addressed some bugs. Among other things, this included raid lobby bugs and better performance. We show you an overview of the interesting changes in 0.79.2 here.
However, update 0.79.2 also brought problems with the curve ball, which were fixed in version 0.79.3. This is shown in a comparison video by Reddit user RubyShardz. In version 0.79.2, there were stutters with the curve ball. These were significantly reduced or even eliminated in the new version.
New attacks of Generation 3 through the update? No, false report!
There are rumors circulating on Twitter that suddenly new moves from generation 3 have appeared. Many players quickly jumped on this bandwagon and spread the message. But as it turns out, this is a false report. The user who shared the news apparently made a mistake.
On Reddit, Dronpes from TheSilphRoad confirms that while the found lines are in the APK, they have been in the code since the first days of the game. They were not introduced by the update.
We can still look forward to the next days or weeks, as the sounds of generation 3 have now been found in the code of Pokémon GO. Together with a new Halloween wallpaper, this indicates that new monsters will appear for the Halloween event.
