When the review embargo for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet lifted, one of the biggest problems both critics and players had with the games was the performance issues. A little under two weeks have passed since then, and it looks like Game Freak is getting around to fixing some of them. A version 1.1.0 patch of the game has been released for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, bringing the first season of ranked battles to the games, as well as patching out select bugs. Included in the patch notes was also an apology from Nintendo, who stated that they are currently working on improvements to the games, in regard to performance problems.

We are aware that players may encounter issues that affect the games' performance. Our goal is always to give players a positive experience with our games, and we apologize for the inconvenience. We take the feedback from players seriously and are working on improvements to the games.

Preformace was shit. They may of optimized the code, but they also could of just overclocked the hardware and called it a day.

"Our goal is always to give players a positive experience with our games" Well that's a lie considering they shut down anything related to their IPs.

I really doubt a new patch is gonna have any serious effect on performance.

Then they get sued for broken switches. Nintendo wouldn't allow it anyway, it's not like there is an API endpoint on the switch to simply overclock the system.

I would doubt they would fix the issue. just guessing. maybe they tuned the graphics down for there tablet hardware

Taking the Cyberpunk 2077 approach? Launch the game, then gradually make it playable with patches later on.

Too bad the patch won't address performance issues

last i checked there actually are performance profiles that vary per game, some having access to higher clock speeds than others

 

[Reploid]

Don't they guys have sysclk?

 

[Latiodile]

the main problem with releasing a game in a dire state like this and making us wait 1+ week for an update is that a very, very large chunk of the playerbase will likely be finished with the game by the time it reaches a reasonable state

This is the same Nintendo that simply banned ds and Wii online access before addressing the pandemic of impossible trades flooding the GTS system.

To be blunt, I expect their petty asses to just ban accounts that leave critical reviews before addressing any of the problems.

I bought the game, it wasn’t all that bad, I had a reasonable experience, my expectations of games has been lowered after I preordered BF2042. Frame rate issues are indeed abundant and some really weird issues where my feet went through the terrain, but after seeing some people have their game go bananas, I consider myself lucky.

even that is optimistic for gamefreak. They will just apologize and patch some of dupe glitches. Next year they will put some paid DLCs and that's it.

 

[HarveyHouston]

Don't apologize! That's contributing to my entertainment!

 

[ZeroT21]

Yep, the crunch is real

 

[cearp]

good that they have acknowledged it - I'll play in maybe 6 months time when there's been some more updates, I'm not in a rush.
still, it shouldn't have happened in the first place...

-snip- (was in response to @RedColoredStars)
thanx m8, wot wud we do wivout U here helpin us wiv r spelings

 

[Robika]

Not updating for me(Spain)!

 

[x65943]

The apology makes it seem like they didn't know they were releasing a garbled mess to cash in on Christmas sales

Which of course is impossible for anyone who played more than 5 minutes, it's blatantly obvious how poorly the game runs

 

[SDA]

Ah, they're actually working on improvements to the game? Now I wanna see if they can make something out of the mediocrity that this software is right now.
