Wasteland 2: Director’s Cut Patch #1 Released on PC

The folks at inXile Entertainment have released the first PC patch for the Director’s Cut of Wasteland 2. The patch includes a number of bug fixes for issues that have been plaguing players since release, like the disappearing dismissed companions, but does not fix the shadow-related memory leak that has been hampering performance for many users. Apparently, that specific bug will be left to a hotfix to be released in the near future.

The patch notes are fairly long, so I’m just going to quote the highlights and the known issues:

Highlights

• Fixed companions not spawning correctly at HQ after dismissing them.
• Fixed disappearing Perks on companions after dismissing them.
• Fixed inability to open doors in Ranger Citadel and Ag Center Central Complex after using Examine while playing with a controller.
• Added Steam Controller support! Select Steam Controller from the Options menu to use it (Steam version only).
• Export option has been re-added to Character Creation. Look for it on the final step for that specific character you want to export (Select Quirk).
• Perk and Quirk balance updates and improvements.

Known Issues

• Some users may notice a memory leak while playing for longer periods of time. This is a known Unity engine bug and will be addressed in a hotfix in the near future.
• Steam Controller support may not function correctly on some Windows 8, Mac or Linux systems. We are currently investigating this.
