Team Ninja has released a new patch for the PC version of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty. According to the release notes, Patch 1.04 further improves the game’s mouse controls, resolves some crashes, and fixes some bugs.

Unfortunately, this update does not seem to include any performance improvements. That’s a bit disappointing as the game has numerous unoptimized scenes. Let’s just hope that it will fix the awful crashes that can occur after cut-scenes.

Since I’ve already finished the game, I can safely say that the K&M controls are great. Seriously, with the exception of Zhang Rang which throws you numerous clones (which breaks the game’s targeting system), everything worked exceptionally well with K&M. Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is a game I thoroughly enjoyed. Its combat and deflect mechanics are more forgiving than Sekiro, and the game features better-placed checkpoints.

Anyway, Steam will download this update the next time you launch its client. Below you can also find its complete changelog.
