Team Ninja’s all-new soulslike Wo Long Fallen Dynasty looks gorgeous, but has been plagued by bugs and clunky PC controls since release. Thankfully, the devs have heard our cries, putting out Wo Long Fallen Dynasty update 1.03 in turn to target some of the RPG game‘s most irritating glitches.
Wo Long’s camera gets an overhaul
One of the most frustrating things that I’ve encountered so far in Wo Long are the camera settings on mouse and keyboard. They’re incredibly clunky, require a lot of back and forth to manoeuvre, and are genuinely some of the worst I’ve ever played with.
This patch, however, has “improved [the] camera controls when using a mouse,” which is music to my ears. While Team Ninja hasn’t clarified how they’ve changed, hopefully I’ll be able to last more than an hour now, because I really, really want to play this game.
Wo Long update fixes crashes
One of the other major complaints players have had about the game’s PC version is the crashing – which apparently worsens the further you get into the game.
As a soulslike baby I haven’t managed to get too far into the story yet, but hopefully the fixes to random crashes and white flickering mean I have a better experience than those who bought the game at launch.
