Santa Monica Studio has released a new patch for God of War Ragnarok, right after the last big update. This seems like a small but important update if you’re going through Kratos’ journey again. It fixes problems that came up with New Game Plus and other extra content.
The patch (version 4.01) fixes a lot of bugs in NG+, such as the fact that some sets of armor don’t upgrade past level 9 and quest rewards aren’t given. It also fixes a rare crash that happened when loading saved games. Also, problems with certain Trophies not being unlocked have been fixed.
The full patch notes are as follows (as reported by Santa Monica Studio) –
Equipment
- Fixed an issue where Darkdale Waist Guard or Risen Snow Armor could not be upgraded past Level 9 in NG+.
Quests
- Fixed an issue where certain quest resources were not granted upon completion in NG+ (Lindwyrm Scales, Sovereign Coals, Essence of Hel). These resources will be granted retroactively to players who should have received them.
System
- Fixed a rare case where the application would crash when loading certain save files.
Trophies
- Fixed an issue where the “Ready for Commitment” trophy would not unlock when upgrading NG+ armor to Level 9 or above.
- Fixed an issue where the “Dragon Slayer” trophy could not be earned during NG+ if the player did not craft the Dragon Scale armor during first playthrough on base game.
- Fixed an issue where the “Phalanx” trophy could not be earned if the player crafted a Level 9+ shield prior to crafting every other type of shield.
If you receive the armor from the Lost Items Chest in the shop, you will need to restart or reload your game to get the trophy. Please note that these trophies will be granted retroactively to players who fulfilled the prerequisites between the time the NG+ patch (v. 04.00) and this patch were implemented.
UI/UX
- Fixed a rare case where the application would crash in the UI.
