25 Comments

XSEED Games and Nihon Falcom have released a brand new patch for The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II. This patch adds 120 FPS and 240 FPS frame limiter options, packs various optimizations to loading speed and caching, and fixes memory allocation ordering issues, eliminating some types of crashes occuring on some sytems.

In addition, patch 1.2 adds two experimental options that can be enabled by command line options. These two options are: HD font and LargeCache.

As the developers noted:

This update introduces two experimental options that can be enabled by command line options. Note that these are experimental for a reason – we want to provide them to you if you are interested, but they are not fully tested throughout the entire game.

  • -hdfont : This option enables a high definition font. It is natively designed for 4x the resolution of the default font. This will be especially useful in combination with the QHD UI mod.
  • -largecache : Increases the size of the cache, which should make the loading time optimizations even more effective in longer sessions and reduce the number of instances of longer cache-clearing load times.

This patch will be auto-downloaded from Steam, and you can find its complete changelog below.
