The work continues on Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, as Electronic Arts has unveiled the details of the game’sfifth patch, which is set to go live on PC today. The patch promises to address another big patch of problems, including a handful of PC-specific issues that will hopefully make for a smoother overall experience.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor was not in a great state when it rolled out in April. The underlying game is actually quite good, according to ourStar Wars Jedi: Survivor review, but it suffered from a multitude of bugs and “unacceptable” performance problems. That manifested in a very ugly “mostly negative” user rating on Steam, although the situation has improved since then to “mixed”—still not great, but at least not an utter catastrophe.
After making a number of fairly granular PC-specific changes inpatch 4—stuff like “updated occlusion behavior” and improved “data handling when toggling raytracing”—the developers at Respawn are taking another run at it. Here’s the list of PC stuff it’s taking on in today’s patch:
That’ll hopefully provide a good bump to PC performance, which Steam reviews indicate is still needed, despite the turnaround in the overall response. Even positive reviews on Steam say Jedi: Survivor continues to suffer from stuttering and poor framerates, even on powerful PCs.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor patch 5 is set to go live on PC later today, and will follow on consoles “later.” The full patch notes are below:
