Just Cause 3 is going to be one of the last big blockbuster games released this year – and one of the most silly, explosive, and just downright fun. You may have to delay your chaotic merriment though, as the game’s got a large day one patch – just like every other game released this generation. According to the chaps at VG247, who’ve managed to snag themselves a retail copy following a broken street date, players can expect to download nearly 3GB of patches to fix several issues in the game.

Do, however, pay attention to the first few tweaks the patch provides; they may provide a wayward chuckle or two.

Fixes and Improvements

  • The Medician Department of Nature Conservation has pored over every inch of our beautiful island for cracks and removed them
  • The Medician Department of Motor Vehicles has taken measures to acquire poorly-tuned vehicles and burn them
  • The DRM has been given a refresher course in combat and spatial awareness as per the Genera’s recent mandate
  • The Medician Department of Infrastructure has made some adjustments to certain roads to prevent traffic jams
  • Various stability/crash fixes
  • Various camera fixes
  • Various Havok destruction optimisations
  • Various localisation fixes and updates
  • Various worldsim imporvements

Missions, Challenges, Random Encounters

  • Various minor mission bug fixes
  • Various minor challenge bug fixes
  • Fixed some various issues with Random Encounters

Graphics and Animation

  • Various LoD optimisations
  • Various lighting optimisations
  • Various animation optimisations

Audio

  • Various level and EQ adjustments
  • Rebels riding along with Rico will now be less rude and not talk over each other
  • Fixed a few rare audio distortion issues involving destructible objects with lots of moving parts

Just Cause 3 is coming to store on December 1. If you really like, you can have a look at its first hour, here.

      By the way, it’s surprisingly cheaper to preorder on Steam than at retail.

          Don’t believe everything your Sims tell you.

            My Sims told me to murder you with the sharpened 3rd rib bone of a Llama that have not had the pleasure of woo-hooing with another Llama.
            But then again, Bella Goth appeared to me in a vision and told me the exact same thing you are telling me now.
            I am so conflicted at the moment…

            I get that all the time man. Take 12 Disprins and the evil Sims start disappearing from your dreams. You’ll still hear voices but honestly, everyone hears voices… right?

            But if My Sims never speak to me in their lovely Simlish no more, won’t I be half the man I was???

            Oh and cheesy one-liners!

            Most fun thing I did was hijack a chopper, shoot all the things, either (A) run out of ammo, so hijack another chopper or (B) take damage, jump out, hijack another chopper, and shoot all the things again

    So excited for this! Seems like the perfect way to unwind after work. Blow some bridges up, catapult a cow into the ocean, and fly a helicopter into a billboard because you can. Also, it looks colourful. For someone who’s “colour vision deficient” I need all the colour I can get XD

    Is 3gb not a bit small for day one patches? Really?

    This is like a bit of fluff compared to some of the other big name day one patch’s this year.

    Besides, better road system, faster cars. Winner!!!!!
