The Legend of Dragoon PS5, PS4 Patch Should Solve Performance Issues | Push Square
A new update for The Legend of Dragoon is available to download now, supposedly fixing the recently released RPG's technical issues. As you might have read last week, the emulated PS1 classic, which is part of PS Plus Premium, launched with a bunch of performance problems. These issues ranged from bugged visuals to full-on softlocks during combat, forcing players to either restart the game or rewind and play it differently.
A nasty memory leak was also reported, which eventually leads to garbled audio and yet more softlocks if you play for an extended period of time.

Frankly, it just wasn't good enough, but at least a patch has been pushed sooner rather than later. We can't find any official patch notes at the time of writing, but we're already seeing players say that the aforementioned softlocking issue has been solved. Hopefully that's the end of that. The update itself is just a few hundred MB.

Robert's been a dedicated PlayStation fan since the days of Tekken 2, and he still loves a good dust up. When he's not practising combos, he's usually getting lost in the latest 100-hour RPG, or, y'know, replaying The Witcher 3.
Sony should have taken better care of this launch, even if its a niche title. But at least they've been quick to patch it, unlike Square Enix with Chrono Cross
Yup. Seem to have fixed the soft-locking with Dragoon Magic and some audio issues. Glad to see they fixed it so fast. But should have been noticed from the start.
@Kanji-Tatsumi That's true, at least it didn't take a year to fix!
