Yesterday, the Dragon Quest XI team released a new patch for both the PS4 and Steam version of the game. The update adds a slew of improvements to both versions. PC players will see the most change, as Square has gone ahead and given players more access to frame-rate settings among other things. You can check out all the new details down below:
PlayStation 4
- We’ve identified a bug which can sometimes cause the game to crash when the player is 300m away from their horse on the field, this has been fixed.
- People’s names (such as “Robert”) have been removed from the list of prohibited words when selecting the main character’s name at the beginning of the game.
- Multiple text bugs have been fixed.
Steam
- We’ve identified a bug which can sometimes cause the game to crash when the player is 300m away from their horse on the field, this has been fixed.
- Players are now able to send log data to the DRAGON QUEST XI development team in cases where the game crashes.
- Players are able to choose between three (Low, Medium, High) pre-set graphic settings before launching the game (see below for details).
- People’s names (such as “Robert”) have been removed from the list of prohibited words when selecting the main character’s name at the beginning of the game.
- Multiple text bugs have been fixed.
- It’s now possible to move the command selection cursor using the left stick, and by extension WASD on keyboards, with very few exceptions in certain screens.
- It’s now possible to select which key exits the game (by default this is set to Esc) and it’s also possible to bind the Esc key to a different function.
- More frame rate options have been added; 90 fps, 120 fps, 144 fps as well as the option to leave the frame rate unlocked.
Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age launched early last month. We reviewed the game, and definitely feel as though it’s a title that should be enjoyed by all fans of JRPGs. If you couldn’t already tell, you can check out the game on PC via Steam or PS4 right now. A Nintendo Switch version is coming down the line, but we still know very little about what it’ll look like, or how it’ll play. All we know is that it’ll be based off the PS4 version of the game, not the Japan-only Nintendo 3DS version, and will be titled Dragon Quest XI S It’ll also contain “additional elements” that aren’t found in the PS4 version.
