Avalanche Studios Acknowledges JUST CAUSE 4 Technical Issues And Is Working Hard On A Hotfix

Just Cause 4 officially launched for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on December 4, 2018, and while the vast majority of players seem to enjoy Rico Rodriguez’s most recent tropical adventures, there are some, who face major technical obstacles, glitches, and even design choices that are literally (just) causing headaches, as some gamers are even experiencing motion sickness while playing the sandbox.

The team at Avalanche is acknowledging that the situation is quite serious and has released a special note to the fans of the game series who have to deal with the aforementioned issues. "Firstly, we want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported Just Cause 4 to date," the official note on Square Enix's website reads. "We’re a small but very passionate team here at Avalanche Studios New York, and each and every one of us has put our hearts into this project for the past three years."

"Due to the complexity of Just Cause 4’s vast open world and advanced physics systems we understand that a number of you are experiencing various technical issues. Even though the game has now launched, this is just the start of our continued support on Just Cause 4. We are actively monitoring your feedback very closely and have a team of engineers at Avalanche Studios working hard on updating and improving the game. Once these fixes have been through internal and first party tests then we’ll be rolling them out ASAP."

While those issues definitely should've been fixed before Just Cause 4 hit stores, it's good to hear that Avalanche and Square are working hard to patch the explosive title. The developer is currently planning to release the first wave of improvements and aiming to have these available to everyone in the next couple of weeks. Here is an overview of some of the updates they are working on:

Xbox One & PS4:

• Fixes to some motion blur rendering issues
