Yesterday, the studio was behind the Nintendo Switch port of Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords announce That a previously existing game-breaking bug has finally been fixed It made it impossible to finish the game.
Previously, those who bought obsidian port star Wars It was an RPG forced to cheat Their way past the game’s crash scenes. This was resolved by the in-game cheat menu, but it was still a first aid solution at best. Kotaku Try using this method to skip the game cut scene at the end of a late game mission, but getting on the ship will only crash the game again. But rejoice: The buggy sights have finally been fixed. Somewhat.
After updating the game, I was finally able to play scenes with previous issues without being taken out to the Switch home screen. However, there is one caveat. Couture 2 He has a special ability that increases the speed of your movement, and is indispensable in a game that forces you to traverse a large amount of empty space. The trade-off is that the game forces a blurry filter on your screen while the skill is active. The new patch may have fixed the scenes, but it makes it so that these blur filters go to said scenes. So you get gross screenshots like this:
Couture 2 It has a lot of cinematic scenes that play automatically when you go over an invisible boundary, so you can’t really turn off the filter manually on startup. The blurriness stops after the skill time has elapsed, but arguably made my experience a little worse. But hey, at least I can move to other planets now!
Did Aspyr intentionally launch a non-separable game? yes. Am I annoyed? Yes too. But I realize that the vanilla version of Couture 2 He was also released in a broken and buggy condition. Perhaps one of those games is always doomed to imperfection. Anyway, I’d recommend keeping multiple save backups just in case you’re waiting for more horrible end-game bugs.
