Official Patch Notes

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where certain high-end CPUs were being unintentionally capped. High-end PC’s should see some performance improvements now.
• Fixed an issue where some sounds were not playing or were being delayed, causing the audio to stack and put a strain on players' CPU. Players should now see performance improvements across the board. The workaround using 5.1/7.1 audio is no longer necessary on PC.
• Setting default resolution to 16:9 1080p on first boot. The recommended spec for WILD HEARTS is aligned to a 16:9 1080p display, for first time users this will now be the default setting. You can change this setting to the resolution of your choice in-game.
• Fixed render issue (disco lights) when using an AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX.
• Fixed an issue on the save/load screen that could result in corrupted save data.
