Update Overview for Freedom Wars Remastered
- A recent update for Freedom Wars Remastered addresses crash bugs across all platforms.
- The patch specifically resolves a crash issue on the Nintendo Switch related to the Accessory system.
- For PC users, the update aims to improve performance issues linked to the Windows 11 update 24H2.
On January 10, 2025, publisher Bandai Namco and developer Dimps released an updated version of their acclaimed title, Freedom Wars Remastered. This remaster provides players access to the original 2014 release initially available exclusively on the PS Vita, a handheld device that is no longer in production.
The trend of remastering classic games has been met with mixed reactions, but one undeniable benefit is the revitalization of older titles on modern platforms. Before this remaster, Freedom Wars was restricted to the PS Vita. The server shutdown in 2021 denied many players access to its once-thriving online multiplayer. Now, the remastered edition brings its unique dystopian narrative and cooperative gameplay to Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, and PC users.
Latest Update: Enhancements and Fixes
The recent update released on January 17 primarily targets several crash issues that players have encountered across all gaming platforms. While specific bug details remain undisclosed, player feedback indicated significant disruptions, especially during online multiplayer sessions. A specific crash affecting Switch users when selecting certain Accessory voice options has also been addressed, enhancing the overall gaming experience.
Performance Improvements for PC Users
PC players can expect enhancements thanks to the new patch, which may alleviate performance-related issues stemming from Microsoft’s Windows 11 update 24H2. This update, rolled out in late 2024, has raised concerns about compatibility and performance concerning various games, including notable franchises like Assassin’s Creed. The developers aim to ensure that Freedom Wars Remastered remains stable and enjoyable following Windows’ updates.
Guidelines for Patch Installation
For users playing on Steam, the patch notes advise returning any modified game files to their original settings before applying the update. This precaution helps prevent installation issues. The note particularly references community practices related to modifying language options for Accessory characters, urging users to ensure system integrity during the patch process.
