inXile Entertainment’sWasteland 3is widely consideredone of the best turn-based RPGs in recent years, but it’s not without its problems. Since the game launched in late August, players have reported a number of bugs and performance issues that have been getting in the way of them enjoying the game’s deep role-playing experience. Luckily, inXile has dropped a new patch that addresses several of the worst offenders.
Patch 1.1.2 is now live to download on Steam and GOG, with console versions set to go live early next week “following their certification release process.” This update brings with it one of the most highly-requested changes to the game: reduced load times. inXile says it has effectively rewritten howWasteland 3loads levels, and the result is that loading times have been reduced by up to 25% on console and 60% on PC.
