So here's the thing about The First Descendant's latest update - patch 1.3.16 just went live and the devs are basically telling everyone to restart their game. You know how it goes. Update drops, everyone needs to reconnect, same old story.
Now, I'm sitting here waiting for the actual patch notes because right now? We've got nothing. The announcement is pretty bare bones - just a "hey, reconnect for smoother gameplay" message. No details on what they fixed, what they broke, or what new bugs we'll discover in about five minutes.
But honestly? That's kind of typical for these smaller patches. They're probably just squashing some annoying bugs that popped up after the last major update. Maybe fixing some connection issues, performance hiccups, that sort of thing. The fact they're specifically mentioning "smoother gameplay" makes me think they addressed some framerate problems or server lag.
Here's what bugs me though - why drop a patch without telling us what's in it? I get that not every update needs a novel-length breakdown, but come on. Give us something. Even just "fixed crash when opening inventory" would be nice. Players like knowing what changed in their game.
Anyway, if you're playing The First Descendant right now, go ahead and restart. The update should download automatically through Steam or whatever platform you're on. And hey, maybe we'll get proper patch notes later today. Or maybe we won't and we'll just have to figure out what changed ourselves. Classic.
