'Just Cause 3' patch rolls out this week: What to expect

Earlier this month, fans got treated to a new, action-packed "Just Cause 3." However, being a fresh release, players found several issues in both the console and personal computer (PC) versions of the game.

But a patch is rolling out this week to fix some of those issues to give better gaming experience to all players. According to the game's official blog, patch 1.02 first rolled out in Europe for PlayStation 4 (PS4) last Wednesday and it should be out by now for other console versions.

As for PC players, expect the patch to be rolled out today, Friday.

As detailed in the announcement, the patch will be 132.1 MB in size. With the new update, players will no longer deal with delayed loading times. Online stats have also been optimized and the game is now more stable.

Issues with game challenges have also been addressed, especially the one about vehicles disappearing once a challenge has been started. It was also noted that screen resizing and game window issues have already been fixed for PC version only.

With the patch starting to roll out, some players are still expected to deal with minor issues, but the blog mentioned that the "Just Cause 3" team is still working on providing solutions and is always open to players' feedback.

"Since launch, we've been pouring through your reviews and comments to help us prioritize our fixes accordingly," the post on the blog stated.

Apart from the patch notes, game developer Avalanche also shared on its blog post some tips to improve the players' game experience.

Players will now enjoy a much better version of the game with the arrival of the patch, but even then, "Just Cause 3" didn't disappoint when it comes to overall gameplay.

The game is interesting enough to keep players hooked since it allows them to explore the maps freely. The game features explosive and engaging scenes and it also encourages players to experiment, helping them develop planning skills in the process.
