Empire of Sin Version 1.02.2.38902 Patch Notes - CONSOLE

[PDX_Maciej]

Hey, Gangsters!

The soldiers in the Safehouse have been working day and night to take down the issues you have been reporting. The hits have gone down and these rats have been sent packing:

• Save corruption bug is now fixed
• Free building upgrades bug is now fixed
• The save game issue that is affecting some players, preventing them from loading saves is now fixed
• Several softlocks have been hard fixed:
  • When using Home Run to apply the Batter Up effect
  • When a gang boss melees in a fight but freezes before he can punch
  • In a war, they have been adjusted now so that if the primary Attacker or primary Defender is eliminated, the war is over
  • When a Gangster with Revenge gets melee attacked in combat and is knocked back by the enemy on the counterattack
• Sometimes AI tactics got blocked by an under the hood error - this under the hood error is now buried six feet under
• Occasional reports of the game freezing on a loading screen have been resolved, this was due to an error with a broken mission save
• When completing the 'One for me brew for you', the breweries were not reopening after a month had passed from the completion of at the moment. They are now open for business as usual
• Gangsters teleporting out of bounds when large groups attacked a target. All these gangsters are now locked into the fight and won’t get away
• Occasional freezes on the Alcohol screen when playing through the Tutorial are now resolved
• The issue with the disappearing gangsters is fixed, they will disappear no more
• An issue with the button to change crew members, 'Role' does not work has been resolved
• Daniel McKee Jackson’s missing clickable option has been found and reimplemented (was hidden in the hat)
• Fixed issue where if two buildings changed racket type at the same time, actors would sulk and disappear
• Various UI fixes

As always, we appreciate your patience and will continue to listen to your feedback and fix issues where we find them. If you encounter any, please make sure to report them on our dedicated forums!

Happy Sinning!

If these are the console changes, why do they reference Mac users?

I hate to say it (and I hate how much Im having to use that phrase in relation to this game), but maybe the company spread itself too thin in its ambitions. They probably should have focused on a single platform (PC) and then expanded to consoles at some point in the future. I worry they dont have the resources to support multiple platforms and make the changes needed (which extend WAY beyond bug fixes) to make this a game worth playing.

Thank you for all your hard work, ran through 3 game play throughs and kept getting the “free upgrade” and “broken skyrocketing monetary value” bugs. Having lots of fun though!

Thanks for pointing this out! Patchnotes updated.

The xbox loading a saved game is STILL not working...losing hours of progress is just...disappointing. At this point you should probably offer xbox users like myself a refund

Once I removed all my old save games (I actually deleted all the game assets, uninstalled the game, then installed the game again and save games are working fine on my XBox.

Not the best solution, but it worked.

K followed your advice testing now

I'm hoping a fresh install fixes the new issues for me on PS4.
Cannot zoom or move camera when using cursor and cannot access the menu at all...
Guess I'll be posting another bug report and waiting another week to play if not.
Deleting my saved data didn't fix the issue, tried that first...

 

[WezzleG]

Unsurprisingly it didn't fix it, I've posted a bug report.
I cannot see how a single person tested this.

Will this patch ( 1.02.2.38902) apply on an existing save game or is it advised to start all over again ?
Didn’t notice anything in the above bug fix about hotels missing (sold ?) have been fixed ?
Anyway I’ll wait to start over again, until the most critical bugs have been fixed, looking forward to it.

First of all, great that you try and fixt bugs etc, thanks for that. However I must report it seems not to be not without problems, you see for me the game freeze all the time now (very often upon entering combat) which it didn't do before with Ofc is unacceptable with a new patch.

Play in the Series X, but could be same problems for other consoles, would appreciate a fast look into this problem.
