Expedition 33 is all the rage right now, hitting an astounding all-time peak of 144,901 concurrent players and seemingly appearing out of nowhere. It’s easy to see why the game is such a smash hit with its superb graphics, fun cast of characters, and gripping story. But that doesn’t mean the game is perfect; in fact, it has its fair share of bugs, many of which have been addressed in the game’s latest patch, released earlier today.
A recent patch for Expedition 33 has implemented significant improvements for many of the game’s biggest issues, including various ultrawide monitor bugs. These improvements mean that gameplay no longer becomes zoomed after a cutscene occurs in ultrawide resolutions, and cutscenes won’t letterbox in a 32:9 aspect ratio.
Other fixes in the game include changes to many spots across the map where players were getting stuck. There were also changes to weapon and skill fixes and tuning, such as the changes to Fixed Lithelim attribute scaling not working at high level, or the change to the Fixed Medalum third Lumina doubling all damage in Virtuose Stance instead of doubling only Burn damage.
