Owlcat Games Releases Patch 1.0.88 for Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader
Owlcat Games is hard at work on their game Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader, and the latest patch, 1.0.88, aims to address several persistent issues. One of the key changes in this patch is the adjustment of skill checks to make them more manageable for players. The next significant patch is expected to be released in January 2024.
Fixes and Improvements in Patch 1.0.88
Patch 1.0.88 brings a host of fixes, including addressing a majority of broken quests and cutscenes that were causing progression blockages or were only accessible through specific choices. Additionally, the patch includes comprehensive changes to items and abilities, optimizations, and adjustments to companion quests and responses. It also tackles issues related to system stability, co-op desync, broken narrative quests, weapon damage, and even a problematic ladder that was hindering progress for the Space Wolf companion Ulfar.
Easier Skill Checks and Remaining Issues
One notable improvement in this patch is the overall ease of skill checks, providing relief for players who rely on lore, persuasion, or medicae checks. Despite these efforts, the game still has some remaining bugs and technical challenges that can impede progress. For example, some players have encountered issues with character romance affecting combat abilities, such as being unable to equip gear or use characters effectively. However, these issues are being addressed by the development team.
Overall, it’s evident that Owlcat Games is dedicated to enhancing the gameplay experience for Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader, and players can look forward to further updates and improvements in the future.
