Square Enix has said that it is “looking into” Just Cause 3’s technical issues, but that it doesn’t yet know when they will be fixed.
While the publisher doesn’t specify which issues it’s investigating, it was alleged earlier this week that the Xbox One version suffers from major problems with memory leaks, leading to performance issues and up to 15 minute load times after playing the game for an extensive amount of time.
PC players have also reported issues with frame rate drops, crashes and glitches, including inconsistent respawns and a bug that causes the ocean to disappear. Square has already acknowledged that AMD users running the latest official drivers may run into problems.
“We’ve received some great review scores and have been enjoying all the incredible videos and amazing comments you’ve made so far,” Just Cause 3’s global community manager Petra Opelova posted in an update on the game’s official site. “We’re excited that the game is finally in your hands as we love seeing the crazy things new players do in our massive, explosive sandbox. Thank you for your support!
“However, we know that some of you are encountering some technical issues – we’re looking into them all and we’re fully committed to providing you the best possible experience.
“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.”
Opelova adds that the studio needs “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.”
Just Cause 3 launched on PS4, Xbox One and PC on Tuesday, but its “frustrating controls, bland world and various technical issues” stopped Steve from enjoying it quite as much as he was hoping to.
“Just Cause 3 does have the best explosions in the business, which means it’s easy to forgive some of its problems every time something big goes boom,” he wrote in his 6/10 review. “But the rest of the game is surprisingly rote, a checklist which feels flat, not particularly freeform.”
It was revealed yesterday that the game’s developer, Avalanche Studios, already has two new sandbox titles in development.
