EA’s recent action monster hunting game, Wild Hearts, didn’t exactly release in the best of states. Players have complained about a plethora of technical issues, a lack of QoL features, and general bugs. But they would be glad to know that some of them have been addressed, thanks to a patch released today.
A "Camera Distance" setting is finally here so players can now adjust the distance between the in-combat player character and camera. Via the Detailed Map, players can now dismantle Dragon Karakuri and all Karakuri placed by guests. Voice chat is now usable in loading screens, and a "Dye" tutorial has been added. The standard firing rate of the hand cannon is increased and the power of Claw Blade's Wingblade Spin Slash is reduced.
A small portion of the patch notes is mentioned below.
- Added a setting to change the color of the speaker name displayed in subtitles.
- Increased the reward for offering assistance by using a Hunter's Gate, as well as further increased the reward for assisting on story quests.
