Just Cause 4’s first big patch is “just the start of the work” planned to fix it

Just Cause 4 stuck its landing about as elegantly as a Victorian flying machine made from long-johns, strawberry shoelaces and seagull wings – here’s John howling about its numerous misfires in our Just Cause 4 review – but developers Avalanche aren’t giving up on it yet. Steam reviews currently average out to the dreaded Mostly Negative, with the vast majority of thumbs-downery prompted by the presence of more bugs than the family movie box office in 1998.*

Undeterred (well, probably quite a lot deterred, let’s be honest), Avalanche recently pushed out the first big JC4 patch, which attempts to wrestle the most overt boo-boos to the ground – including fixing texture pop-in, making keys remappable and menus less miserable, and overall ‘stability fixes’. They also promise that this is “just the start of the work we are carrying out,” with more patches planned next year. They’re also “very sorry to hear” that so many people have had a rubbo time with JC4, if that helps any.
