UPDATE: PATCH V1.04 NOW LIVE (11 JULY)

[SEGA Dev]

Hi Vanquish fans,

Patch V1.04 is now out of beta and is live. There is no longer any need to use the public_patch branch; however, the command lines (below) still need to be entered in the Launch Options tab to enable these features.

As always, thanks for your continued support!


PATCH V1.04 BETA AVAILABLE NOW (29 JUNE)

Hi Vanquish fans,

We’ve put together a little patch that should fix a couple outstanding issues we’re seeing in this forum.

To install, go to Vanquish in your Steam library, right click and select “Properties,” then go to the “Betas” tab. In the field to enter the beta access code, type the password:

BetaTestPatch


Set the branch name in the drop down menu:

public_patch


Beta patch V1.04 notes:

• Adjustment to reduce flickering lighting effects in certain circumstances.

• Adjustment to correct invincibility frames when dodging at higher frame rates.

• Two new command line options (enter in ‘Set Launch Options…’ in the Steam properties for the game):

– fulltone
Players should try this if they’re having issues with the brightness rapidly changing (may very slightly impact performance).

– fastvisor
For players experiencing slowdown in the visor cutscenes, may improve frame rate in these sections.

Please note these options have not been fully QA’d and are not officially supported at this time.

If you’re still experiencing unresolved issues, please contact our customer support service at the following url:

It helps us tremendously if you can provide a dxdiag profile or your PC hardware details.

Thank you, and happy robot shooting.

Naisu~! Not sure if these are the Little Stones guys but...

they should get hired to fix Nier: Automato :P

Have invincibility windows only been corrected for the dodge rolls specifically and not any other situations where there may be invincibility?

I don't know if this was fixed in 1.04, but I just fell through the map on grand hill in 1.03

I might do more testing later, but at least rolling is confirmed to work the way I expect it to now.

Just wondering though.... how much is Little Stone or Platinum is involved in all this wonderful patching fest? More Little Stone, or vice versa? Just curious, is all. Don't hurt me. XD

I think they implied it was a joint effort a while back.

I'd thank Little Stone, Platinum, and Sega Europe for allowing them to still be supporting the game for this long.

If only they could give Little Stone the reigns to fix Nier: Automato.....

Yeah, been thanking them with each patch they make for Vanquish. I do hope they go back to giving a little more attention to a certain witch. Some people are still having issues with Bayo XD

Not with SE at the helm. Even if Platinum themselves actually had a patch ready for the PC, SE will just feign ignorance and not give the go-ahead. So no way can LS can deal with such a stuck-up publisher. It'll be frustrating for them.

I've heard (and felt) that the damage taken is still wonky in situations. Seems like something that varies depending on the situation/type of damage, making it a hard bug to fix consistently.

I hope the devs take another quick pass at that sort of thing before they push out this final patch.

[Wereriche]

Is this an issue on harder difficulties? 'Coz the only time I get heavy damaged is because of bad positioning
