Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii’s latest patch ensures Goro Majima’s gold…
Ok, so, as you might be aware, Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza In Hawaii contains some golden balls, and they can belong to Goro Majima. Well, provided he goes around and collects all seven of them as part of a sub-story.
Yep, sorry folks who might have taken the headline a different way – these are actual balls made of gold you’re tasked with gathering from various locations around the various places the Goromaru makes port, a bit like you could in Like A Dragon: Gaiden. There’s been a bug that’s made it impossible for some folks to obtain them all, but it’s been fixed. Please stop throwing rotten vegetables and threatening to set Kiryu on me.
This bug fix comes as part of the game’s latest update, patch 1.12, which RGG has released today – March 7. “Fixed an issue where the golden ball could not be obtained”, reads the full note for that particular tweak.
How enigmatic, RGG. Which ball was the issue? What caused it to become unobtainable? Did it maybe get nicked by one of the game’s many booty-hungry pirates who aren’t former Tojo Clan bigwigs? We’ll seemingly never know. The balls are back, to paraphrase what Thin Lizzy once sang, them wild-eyed balls that had been away. And that’s all that matters.
Anyway, the patch’s other fixes across all platforms are as follows:
- Fixed an issue where manual saving was not possible.
- Fixed an issue where loading a save data on a ship under certain conditions would cause the player to fall into the sea and be unable to return. (That one sounds fun)
- Fixed an issue where arcade game rankings were not being saved.
- Corrected various typographical errors and improved localization issues.
- Various other bug fixes to improve stability and quality.
There are also a couple of PC-specific changes which’ve updated to the game to Intel XeSS 2.0.1 and “fixed a rare crash issue that occurred during resource loading”. Also, if you’re experiencing random driver crashes on certain NVIDIA GPUs, RGG reccomends you go into the settings and cap your FPS at 60.
If you’ve yet to try Pirate Yakuza, make sure to check out my review of it, which only contains some gentle worry about whether not finding a middle-aged Japanese guy showering funny means I might have lost my humourous edge.
