Aww boo. Those fox ears and tail in the dengeki/famitsu dlc look nice.

Thanks for the info.

Do you know if they plan to fix the problem with them not allocating enough space to the cloud to have it backup our saves?

There was no mention of any PC-specific issues they may or may not be working on.

ah darn, I'm hoping they will notice at some point still lol. Thank you for taking the time to check on that for me Za, I appreciate the response

I just read the announcement from KOEI Facebook fan pages.

Dynasty Warriors 8 Empires Patch ver 1.01 is available now for the PS4, PS3 and Xbox One (a patch for the Steam version is scheduled to come in April).

* The following functionality has been added:
・Settings for Ways of Life and Favorite Stratagems in "Custom Officers"
・The ability to download custom units in "Custom Units"

* The following bugs have been fixed:
・Strategems sometimes triggered after officers had been defeated
・Raids could not be played online
・Performing certain steps on the officer selection screen in Free Mode caused the game to crash
・The game crashed during certain Rage Attacks
・Performing certain steps when making a custom scenario caused certain officer data, such as their gender or Way of Life, to become incorrect
・Characters in the line break position were not displayed in custom scenario descriptions
・In Empire Mode, the game would crash after 48 years had passed
・Starting Empire Mode with a custom unit that had configured Ways of Life caused a corrupted version of Xiahou Dun's character model to appear on the Strategy Screen
・Virtue levels configured by Way of Life settings were not properly reflected in Empire Mode
・On the Marching Officer Selection Screen, trying to replace players 1 and 2 after already having chosen marching officers caused the game to crash
・Installing the downloadable content "Japanese Voice Option for DW8XL" for DYNASTY WARRIORS 8: Xtreme Legends caused the wrong voice lines to play for characters in DYNASTY WARRIORS 8 Empires (This applies to PS4 and PS3 versions only.)

Nothing to make the game harder to the point that it actually becomes a game...

[Gormaz]

No change also to have some of the bases generate more soldiers so it does not take 5 minutes to capture them.
No fix for some of the translations.
No fix for the ALT+TAB issues.
I am pretty underwhelmed to have to wait April for so little to be honest.
But well, patches are always good....

[Fresh Prince of Solaire]

Any graphical fixes? I hope so. If not I'm likely just creating stuff in edit mode in lieu of dealing with such broken in game graphics. You're so close to greatness Dynasty Warriors 8 Empires; I love ya but some of us need these graphics fixes for it to be unconditionally so.

^ Im not sure what you mean by that, but I would like to see optional texture update. Im seriously disgusted how Koei decided to give DWE7 costume textures for the DWE8 PS4 version at the expense of making the PS3 port look more ugly. If you dont believe me, go check back on the 7 Empires costumes and you'll quickly see what I mean, they look really similiar.

I would be already happy if I at least could pick my native resolution of 1440p. It looks just awful on 1080p on my screen - and that can't be fixed with GemFX or AA.

I mean the developer of GeDoSaTo did run DW8XL on 1440p (he showed a picture of it too). It was easy to get it to render the higher resolution, but his problem was the HUD, it was quite messed up (it was all in the upper left corner).

[Kurt]

Are they going to try to patch the game and its bugs? Or is it just some people like me?

[DoGy AUT]

That means I may get at least some variation now for my army of characters :D

[The Lost Crusader]

Will there be new quotes for original characters and CAW depending on relationship, I heard someone said there wasn't. Quotes like married couple during battle, like Empires 7 where when you're married, you'll expect from your spouse that he/she will say something nice to you when you come to save him/her. I haven't played the game yet but I'm asking now just to be sure
