Team Ninja’s new Soulslike Wo Long Fallen Dynasty looks gorgeous, but it’s been plagued with bugs and clunky PC controls since release. Thankfully, the developers heard our cries, in turn releasing Wo Long Fallen Dynasty update 1.03 to address some of the RPG’s most vexing issues.
Wo Long’s camera gets a makeover
One of the most frustrating things I’ve found so far in Wo Long is the camera setting on mouse and keyboard. They are incredibly clunky, require a lot of back and forth to maneuver and are truly some of the worst I have ever played with.
This patch, however, has “improved (the) camera controls when using a mouse”, which is music to my ears. Although Team Ninja didn’t say how they changed, I hope I can last over an hour now, because really, in reality I want to play this game.
Wo Long’s update fixes bugs
Another major complaint from gamers about the PC version of the game is the crashing, which apparently gets worse as you progress through the game.
Like a baby with a soul, I haven’t gotten deep into the story yet, but hopefully the fixes for random crashes and white flickering mean I have a better experience than those who bought the game at launch.
