Cyberpunk's Edgerunners 2 Update Isn't In The Best State On Switch 2 Right Now
Nintendo Life • • technology
Key Points:
- Game saves are often converted to the latest patch version after playing, making older saves incompatible with previous game versions until patched again, as seen in titles like Witcher, Skyrim, and Oblivion.
- Reverting to an older patch can cause save file corruption or glitches due to changes in how game engines read code, with past examples including Diablo 2 and The Sims 1.
- On consoles like PS5, new updates generally run smoothly without issues, whereas PC players frequently encounter problems due to mods breaking after updates, requiring mod deactivation until fixes are released.
- The Switch 2 version of some games has reported issues, including less immersive environments with fewer NPCs, leading to a less engaging experience compared to PS5 and PC versions.
- Operating systems may now play a role in preventing compatibility issues by locking out older versions from accessing saves updated by newer patches, as observed in games like Witcher.
