Total War: Rome II heeft vierde patch beschikbaar

De vierde patch al weer is beschikbaar gesteld voor Total War: Rome II. Het spel van ontwikkelaar The Creative Assembly kampt sinds de release met de nodige bugs, problemen om de game soepel te draaien en balans issues, maar daar komt sinds korte tijd verandering in.

Het bedrijf werkt hard aan patches en update nummer vier moet de AI flink verbeteren bij het opzetten van nieuwe gebouwen, bouwen van legers, technologische research, tactieken tijdens gevechten en management van voedselvoorzieningen. Verder zijn er tweaks aangebracht op de diplomatie, mêlee eenheden en meer.

Hieronder een deel van de verbeteringen, hier de gehele lijst. Patch vijf voor Total War: Rome II gaat volgende week in bèta.

Technical and Performance Issues

• Fixed crash when placing deployables with a single click in invalid locations on the battlefield.
  
• Fixed rare crash in battles when unit banners were moving slowly due to low frame rates.
  
• Fixed an indefinite hang, when attacking Egyptian rebel army across the Nile in Campaign mode.
