Moon Studios Confident Upcoming Patch For Ori "Will Solve A Large Number Of Issues"

Ori and the Will of the Wisps is a platforming masterpiece, but has admittedly experienced some serious performance issues since its arrival on Xbox One and Windows platforms last month. Even in our own review here on Pure Xbox, we said it suffered from stuttering, hitching, graphical anomalies and temporary pauses.

Following on from a post last Friday, saying it was "working around the clock" to release a patch that would resolve performance issues and a large number of reported bugs across all platforms, Moon Studios has now shared another update. This one explains how the team is putting the "final touches" on the upcoming patch and notes how it will fix a large number of issues.

Your feedback has been incredible, and we believe the upcoming build will solve a large number of issues you have shared with us.

"More updates" are planned for next week. Until then, below is a look at what exactly the patch will contain when it does finally arrive:

Added Features:

  • New Dynamic HUD mode as well as option to hide HUD
  • Exclusive Fullscreen Option Added
  • Resolution Scaling Option Added

Changes:

  • Fast travel from map will now be sold as a separate upgrade from Opher

Key Fixes:

  • Achievements: Healthy and Powerful achievements should be granted automatically when loading a save that meets all the criteria.
    • Note: Destiny, Hardcore Fan, Shardless, Lightless, Look at the Time and Immortal will be granted when loading the save with a completed game while meeting the criteria for these achievements. However, if you skipped the epilogue cutscene, you may need to beat the final boss again.
