Is this for both the PS4 and ps4 because I only gotten the PS4 update( physical edition) but nothing for PS5 also the mythic visuals for late game are still broken.

PS5 version already includes this patch right off the bat, bar a few last moment changes, which will make it into the next big update.

Hello, Crusaders!

We are back with a big update 1.2.0.0 for Xbox and 2.01 for PS!

This update is a compilation of multiple recent PC updates that now finally arrive on console, plus a few console-specific fixes.

Highlights:

  • Added DLC4 and DLC5 achievements;
  • During the siege of Drezen, the Corruption increment was not working while resting — fixed;
  • Cruoromancer's Commanding Infusion ability now gives +4 to Charisma instead of Constitution;
  • Fixed a bug due to which it was possible to leave the defense of the camp in Iz in the middle of a battle, which led to a breakdown of the script;
  • Ghost horse turned into a regular horse when moving between locations — fixed;
  • Errors in the endings of The Lord of Nothing DLC have been fixed;
  • Assassin's Use Poison ability has been increased: now given by the formula 6 + Assassin's level multiplied by two;
  • Assassins get the Hide In Pl...

Also, the lessons that I feel Owlcat could take from BG3 don't have anything to do with the parts of BG3 that are expensive (cool graphics, extensive voice acting, etc). (Plus said lessons could also be taken from Divinity: Original Sin I and II, which AFAIK are in the same budget ballpark as Wrath and Rogue Trader.)

IMO the biggest weakness of Owlcat compared to Larian is encounter design. Kingmaker and Wrath are full of bland, meaningless filler fights that are only really bearable because you can go through them quickly in real-time mode. Rogue Trader has similar problems, if not quite to the same extent - but there are definitely sequences in that game that have way too many fights against the same generic-ish enemies.

Meanwhile I don't think BG3 (or D:OS2 for that matter) has a single fight that felt like filler. That, plus the ability to use terrain creatively, does a lot to make the purely mechanical part of the gameplay much more interesting. (I just really ...

We've made a step in this direction in Rogue Trader, and certainly look to improve it further in our future releases.

Did you use any mods? Looks like a mod-related issue.

Kingmaker is not great on PS4. It's playable but the more you play the more it starts crashing.

WoTR on the other hand is a much better experience. It still crashed a few times but nowhere near as frequent as Kingmaker.

Also, the company only lost the rights to Kingmaker which means WoTR is still getting updates and patches

Wrath is also soon getting a dedicated PS5 version which should significantly improve overall experience.

And if so, will it release at the same time as the PS5 version?

Many thanks in advance.

Not this time I'm afraid. There are two reasons to it:

First, the percentage of Series X users that play the game is rather small, making the development of dedicated version a significant financial risk.

Second, due to the difference in architecture of the platforms, PS5->PS4 compatibility mode shows a much heavier loss of performance than Xbox in a similar situation. Where on Xbox you can get things to run better by optimizing it a bit more (which we continue to do), only a dedicated version will help the PS5 players. We felt it had priority.

It going to be act 5 for DLC 6 being I believe since it’s where all the mythic paths all going to a available( excluding swarm most likely for obvious reasons) and romances are locked in with also the reactivity to the companions ending quest lines come into play.

Let's just say, there's definitely some FEAST to be had if you know what I mean...

Last time I heard Owlcat is hoping to release it late spring to mid summer.

Correct.

Just speculation which is nice :)

I've been answering these comments multiple times now, actually :)

It's in the final phases right now, expecting it this spring.

Oh😳…Well hopefully that the long wait the last DLC is because of extensive VA and other features for DLC 6 .Maybe even being full VA which is obviously not happening for three old game that would also be costly but a man can dream.

I'm certain you guys won't be disappointed. While it takes a while (although it's not that far away now, late spring - mid summer or so), the delay means we have the time to pack more tasty stuff into it, and yes, VA is one of the reasons of the delay.

A known issue which is already fixed internally. Should be patched with the next update.

No, there's no plan for physical release. Only a digital update.

I’m going to make a hot take and say that if judging by Owlcat previous DLC’s of having even sparser VA and done arbitrarily at times like in the main campaign then it might as well be completely non voiced instead of at best being a half measure and that’s being charitable.

There will definitely be VA in DLC6 :)
