As has been a lot chronicled, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet was launched in a messy state. Riddled with bugs, crashes, clipping, pop-up, and abysmal framerates, it was so unfit for function that many tried to get their a refund. Nintendo has been characteristically quiet on the matter, beforehand failing to acknowledge the severity of the problems. Nevertheless, in a brand new patch launched as we speak providing “choose bug fixes,” it eventually makes clear the corporate is at the very least conscious of all of it.
Model 1.1.0, at simply 1GB, is designed to not solely introduce Season 1 of the Ranked Battles within the Battle Stadium, but in addition to repair numerous bugs. Infuriatingly, reasonably than overtly naming mentioned fixes (as we’d count on from just about every other writer), Nintendo chooses to determine solely one of many fixes, and it couldn’t be extra trivial:
A problem has been mounted that induced the music to not play appropriately in the course of the battles with the Elite 4 and the Prime Champion within the Victory Street path.
Oh phew! As a result of you understand how everybody was like, “Positive, my sport retains crashing to menu, and half the time I’m battling Pokémon half-wedged into rocks, however at the very least the music will play correctly in that one bit close to the tip.”
Past this, it merely says that, “Different choose bug fixes have been made.” Given the patch is simply 1GB, it may possibly’t be an infinite quantity.
G/O Media could get a fee
Nevertheless, and really importantly, there’s a little paragraph on the finish, that in the end sees Nintendo recognizing that the state of the sport just isn’t OK.
We’re conscious that gamers could encounter points that have an effect on the video games’ efficiency. Our aim is all the time to provide gamers a optimistic expertise with our video games, and we apologize for the inconvenience. We take the suggestions from gamers significantly and are engaged on enhancements to the video games.
Once more, infuriatingly imprecise, however at the very least an admission that Pokémon Scarlet and Violet are a buggy ol’ hodgepodge. We’ve contacted Nintendo to ask for far more element, firstly about which bugs have been mounted this time, and to ask for a timeline for fixes for those who stay. We’ll replace as quickly as we hear again.
