Konami has teased an upcoming update for the beloved Suikoden 1 and 2 HD Remaster, giving players a glimpse of what’s to come. This patch aims to tackle an array of bugs and pesky issues that have been vexing players, including a frustrating problem with closing the game on PC platforms. However, fans will have to wait a bit longer for the release date announcement.
As the excitement builds following its release, Konami is shifting focus to enhancing this classic role-playing game collection. The Japanese developer recently unveiled a comprehensive list of known issues that they are eager to address. This list not only highlights the problems but also outlines new features planned for the remaster. Essentially, it serves as a changelog for the much-anticipated first patch.
The update promises to resolve a significant oversight in the PC version, where currently, players must rely on workarounds like ALT+F4 or navigating the Steam overlay to exit the game. Additionally, players will soon be able to adjust background music speed during double-speed battles, adding more customization options to the gameplay experience.
In a bid to improve the gaming experience, the patch will bring several quality-of-life improvements. Players will soon have the choice to silence footsteps and toggle auto-save features. Moreover, there will be an enhancement to the storage room’s Retrieve option, offering clearer insights into equipment compatibility and stat impacts. Konami is also addressing inconsistencies across different translations and fixing issues where healing Runes failed to function correctly in certain situations.
Currently, there’s no specific date for this patch’s roll-out, but Konami assured players that it would be simultaneous across all platforms once ready.
Highlighted in the patch notes are fixes for various bugs in both Suikoden I and II, such as language discrepancies and issues with healing Runes not working properly in certain conditions. Suikoden I is set to receive fixes for game freezes under specific circumstances and BGM playback errors. Meanwhile, Suikoden II’s patch will tackle issues like item validity errors in the storage room and missing mini-game controls on PC and PS5™. Also addressed are problems with random stat upgrades and errors connected to Medicine Runes.
Looking ahead, players can expect new features that streamline the game further. The patch will introduce options for game closure on PC, BGM speed adjustments, footstep sound toggles, and switching the dash maneuver. Furthermore, it will make understanding level-up conditions for your army’s home base easier.
In essence, this upcoming patch is set to breathe new life into Suikoden 1 and 2 HD Remaster, ensuring a smoother and more enjoyable journey through its richly woven worlds.
