Lords Of The Fallen Update v.1.1.457 Brings Multiplayer Optimizations

Lords of the Fallen’s latest update v.1.1.457 has now been pushed out by developer Hexworks, arriving one week after its previous patch that brought a number of critical crash fixes to the title. This time around, the folks up high have focused on introducing “improvements to the multiplayer experience, both in terms of optimisation and stability,” so users can have a better time playing online.

Although the full patch notes are fairly exhaustive, I did spot a number of noteworthy additions making the cut, such as fixes for players getting stuck in the Umbral realm after dying with no possible return to Axiom, and an invulnerability glitch when playing co-op. It appears a number of other visual-centric adjustments were also made, not to mention a camera collision hiccup as well that bugged players out of the game world. 

This week we’ve focused on bringing further improvements to the game’s multiplayer experience, both in terms of optimisation and stability, resulting in a fluid experience and less rubberbanding in cooperative and invasion matchups. This is alongside our ongoing commitment to ensure Mournstead feels as smooth as ever, with an additional 35+ tweaks and enhancements included in today’s update,” reads the patch notes announcement. 

The new update for Lords of the Fallen sure makes an array of good changes, but the community isn’t really happy, per se, with Hexworks still. If you head over to the r/LordsoftheFallen subreddit, you’ll find dozens of player reports pointing out issues that have been lingering for too long now, including the now-notorious Xbox HUD problem, where elements of the HUD are placed heavily out of proportion on-screen.  

[BUG REPORT] HUD on Xbox defaults to an excessive overscan area with no option to adjust this in the menu. So UI elements sit too close to screen centre. This is a constant distraction during gameplay and gives the UI a claustrophobic feel.

As the patch notes were disclosed fully on Reddit, players tried to bring up some of the other major issues as well that Lords of the Fallen is currently facing. “Xbox HUD still broken, Umbral quest broken, figures in Umbral stigmas are invisible on Xbox, etc. Come on, guys. Love the game but prioritize major things. Not a ruiner being stuck in a falling animation,” writes u/Comfortable-Night362.
