Lords of the Fallen developer Hexworks recently released a new patch for the game, but unfortunately, it brought along some unexpected graphical issues in Umbral. The patch, known as 1.1.326, was meant to address performance and make improvements, but instead, it introduced noticeable pop-in graphics that were not present before.
Despite the patch bringing smoother performance, players quickly noticed the pervasive pop-in problem in Umbral. Many users took to Reddit to express their disappointment, with the top comment highlighting the worsened appearance of the game after the update. Fans are now hoping that Hexworks will promptly fix this issue, and until then, it might be best to hold off on playing.
However, it’s not all bad news. The 1.1.326 patch also made several much-needed improvements to the game. Bosses have been made tougher, with new behaviors, increased health, and more damage. Additionally, the lock-on feature now functions similarly to other popular games in the genre, targeting enemies in the center of the screen. This change has been a long-standing request from players. The patch also introduces separate balancing for PvE and PvP, specifically nerfing overpowered spells in PvP matches. This shows that Hexworks is actively listening to the community and working towards a better gaming experience.
Overall, while Lords of the Fallen is a great game, it seems that issues arise with each update. Hexworks is clearly committed to improving the game, but it may be beneficial for them to thoroughly test patches before releasing them to avoid such problems in the future.
