Patch 1.4 Hype

[Ryuudou]

Any guesses on what will be in it? They said it's going to be the biggest update yet.

Apparently the Steam release on the 21st will have both patch 1.4 and Star Wars Outlaws: Wild Card which seems like a mini-expansion? Either way perfect time to play on Patch 1.4 since the release bugs will be taken care of.

From what I've been reading it will be pretty major improvements across the board. This will include:

'... tweaks to combat that will better reward “tactics and precision”, while stealth will also receive further improvements to “readability and consistency of enemy detection”, as well as more choices in how you "approach each encounter".'

I've also read they have replaced the game's creative director and generally seem committed to a long post-release road map of making the game all it can be as part of Ubisoft's more general changes to improve as a company.

Yeah it sounds big just saw it. They're updating the stats on every weapon and monster in the game, new animations, new handling, new "weak point" system, more combat options.

They need to improve the enemies' artificial intelligence

I haven't seen anyone complain about the AI. That said since patch 1.4 is focused on combat, I imagine it will be way different anyway. Looks awesome.

Are they going to fix the poor womans face? I cant take this seriously

No fix for crash to desktop if using Windows 11 24H2

[Ryuudou]

They just announced a Twitch stream for launch day.

"Join us on November 21 at 10am PT / 7pm CET as we showcase several significant updates from Title Update 1.4.0, celebrate the launch of Star Wars Outlaws on Steam, and premiere the new story pack, Star Wars Outlaws: Wild Card!"

Gonna be on twitch.tv/Ubisoft

The 10AM PST is probably around the time it releases.

The AI is crappy. F.E.A.R from almost 20 years ago has far faaar superior AI than 99% of these new games, that's just sad.

They haven't said anything about fixing the Windows 11 24H2 bug. There's going to be a tsunami of refunds tomorrow when Steam users find out it constantly crashes to desktop every 5-30 minutes.

I saw some really rough footage online when this game released. I really wanted this game to be good for so long, since the idea of an open world Star Wars game where you can play as a planet jumping scoundrel sounded really intriguing to me.

Must say I don't know that much about it and would have to play it by ear, if the new patch actually improves the entirety of the game dramatically I might be willing to give it a look but tbh Ubisoft's track record hasn't been the best for some time.

Well said. I hope the updates it has received have improved the game a lot since its release. And i want to believe that the new update can improve the game even more. The biggest problem is the price >_<"

Yeah that's a good point, usually when Ubisoft come back to Steam they tend to have a pretty generous discount on their games for the first week or so.

Avatar which also released this year is currently on sale for 60% off on their store and was 50% off when they launched it on Steam. AC: Valhalla released at 67% and Farcry 6 was 75% off when it launched on Steam also.

I'd say it's a safe bet that it would be at least 50% off, possibly even more, but of course this is all just speculation on my part.
