Flying Wild Hog have released the first patch for Shadow Warrior 2, fixing a couple of bugs and making the odd tweak to gameplay and UI. The bulk of the changes seem to address loading issues (either with 2 core CPUs, or systems getting hung up on the start-up videos), and there are a couple of other quality of life additions in there.
I’m pleased to see “UI improvements: Allow replace gem inserted in weapon” listed, as previously you had to go through a couple of steps to do that. “Fixed co-op bug, which in rare cases could corrupt saves,” sounds pretty vital too.
Here are the changes. There’ll be a Shadow Warrior 2 review on the site early next week (I haven’t quite finished playing with Wang).
Shadow Warrior 2 ver. 1.1.1.0:
– Fixed cutscene FOV, when playing with non standard FOV
