Team Ninja has just released the March 25th Patch for Rise of the Ronin. This patch, titled Patch 1.09.0.2, primarily addresses a range of technical issues impacting gameplay stability and performance.
Rise of the Ronin has received a new patch focusing on performance and stability improvements. A key addition is the “Graphics Mode” option, enabling players to choose between prioritizing visual quality or frame rate. Selecting “Prioritize FPS” allows the game to dynamically adjust graphics settings to maintain smoother performance during demanding gameplay. The developers have also optimised demanding graphics settings to reduce frame rate drops significantly.
The update introduces a secondary backup save location to address save data issues, providing a recovery option for corrupted saves. Furthermore, a repair process has been implemented to restore missing camera data in affected save files. Numerous bug fixes have been applied, including resolving issues with infinite loading screens, DualSense controller crashes related to vibration, blurred background textures, stuttering, and performance issues during cutscenes. General stability improvements and crash fixes are also included in the patch.
