This is great news if you're like me and you bought Just Cause 3 only to have it be completely unplayable even on a much more powerful rig, a real shame given how excited I was to give it a try.
In a Steam forum post one of the Avalanche guys stated that they are looking in to the various issues but that they can't comment when exactly the patch will be coming given that the game launched only a short time ago. Here's the full quote:
"We know you’re going to want specific information on when a patch will land and what will be fixed – we would love to give you that information, and we will as soon as we have it. But right now, a little over one day since we launched, we have huge numbers of players in our enormous game world and we’re monitoring all the data coming in.
We need a little bit of time to recreate some of these issues and build fixes. Rest assured though – we are fully committed to making Just Cause 3 as awesome as possible. We already know loads of people are having a blast with the game but we’ll do all we can to make sure everyone is laughing and smiling as they play."
I'm a programmer myself so I know that sometimes bugs just appear in cases you simply couldn't test for but I do hope this gets patched as soon as possible. Its not a fun feeling to buy a game only to have its performance be so poor as to be unplayable.
If you're having some issues with Just Cause 3 I'd suggest your head over to the Steam forum discussions, there are some fixes outlined there that might just help you out with your troubles. That said I'll try and keep you updated with information on when the patch is coming, once its finally announced.
