Now, an expanded patch has been launched for consoles, as predicted by yesterday’s announcement post on the EA Star Wars Twitter account. This update weighs in at 1.17GB and contains several fixes that have already been implemented in the PC version. These will address various graphical issues, the game sometimes crashing when the player skips cutscenes, and a few other reported problems.
One of the biggest issues this latestStar Wars Jedi: Survivorupdate fixes is aglitch in the Chamber of Duality, where the player could be trapped inside the dungeon and forced to restart the game from the very beginning if they didn’t save their progress beforehand. Other bugs and glitches that players have come across include one where Cal permanently loses XP after being killed by a certain enemy and problems withJedi: Survivor’s HDR settings. Thankfully, some players have found a workaround to this latter issue by changing a certain setting on the PlayStation 5.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivoris a fun game, but its many bugs could ruin the experience for players, especially when it comes tolosing vital progress or experience points. The latestJedi: Survivorupdate patch might not address every issue fans have had with it since launch, but it is certainly a step in the right direction for making sure more players get to enjoy the game as Respawn intended.
