BLOODBORNE Update (1.03) available
- Thread starter John Bender
- Start date
Still time to read them or do we have another DA: I on our hands?
The descriptions you get are the same as the ones you can access by checking out your inventory, but there may be some cases in which you may stumble to some yet undiscovered item (mileage may vary)
It's interesting to read because you can get a glimpse of the lore and whatnot, it's definitely better than the Bloodborne logo though haha
English is not my native language so it really depends on which item gets displayed on your screen, some won't have a problem with it but people like me will have a hard time reading them all completely in one sitting. To me, it's comparable with DA:I, but the descriptions in that game were mostly much shorter. So once again, mileage may vary.

Awesome!! I was missing item description during loading greatly.

Is there any character lore like demons souls during the load screens?

Same, pretty disappointed.
The patch has only just launched and all people have reported is item descriptions. Some descriptions have bits of story attached to them no?

Did they fix the forest skip ?

Server Maintenance still going on for online stuff, but this was still a good update.
I'm glad they actually listened to fans and actually put something in those dreary Loading spots.
I mean, the Bloodborne Logo looks cool, but mix it in with some artwork, or the item descriptions are nice. So kudos to them.
Hopefully next patch we can get a vast improvement to the matchmaking. They gave a sort of half assed acknowledgment to it before by just throwing out the whole "Check your ports" and Nat settings, but come on, that's not what we're talking about.
Frame rate can skip a bit, but it was never so bad that I felt it was unplayable. So plenty on the horizon here.

Really love the load screens now, I guess it will make the load times feel even shorter if you start reading them.
Where is this from? It's beautiful.

Yup, they fixed a couple of skips/glitches.
Demon's Souls loadscreen just show their character arts. It still awesome though but for Bloodborne to pull the same thing they really need more friendly NPCs.

IIRC that was fixed in the patch previous to this one. If you still want to do it, delete your update data and play offline to do the glitch, when you are done redownload the patches and you should be good to go.
no duping was the one that was fixed. I think hes talking about the dog glitch
forbidden forest skip has been fixed im not sure if the blood echoes glitch is fixed
id advise against deleting your update data since you obviously loaded your character in the newest patch
How about Death -> Respawn in Cathedral ward?
Interesting. I have a 2TB 5400 and got those times for those places as well.
YESSSSS. I wasn't really following their patch notes so the inclusion of the item descriptions on the loading screen is such a pleasant surprise!
Character lore on DeS load screens?

I'm talking about the one where you walk around in some room and you get 2k echoes every couple of seconds.

Exact to the second? If so, Interesting indeed as my load times for my UI and everything else are much better than the stock drive.
14 seconds

Like what? Is there something else that needs fixing?
I don't have access to my PS4 right now, or I'd check myself, but I'm curious about the following (no serious spoilers, really):
- Did they extend collision or something to quick-fix the
sequence break?
- What happens if you load a sequence broken character?
- Was the mysterious caged dog infinite Echoes bug fixed?
- Was the
arena bug/collision fixed?
I suppose we won't know for several hours, but I'm assuming the time-related boss AI bug was fixed. I hope suiciding NPCs were as well.
It's too bad frame pacing wasn't addressed, but all of the above stuff was seriously mission critical. Much more important to the average player. Let's hope From keeps working on performance patches.

I was counting by 1 Mississippi and got 26 seconds for hunters dream to cathedral ward. From cathedral ward to hunters dream 10 seconds.

I never understood why they did not have item description in the loading screens. Glad to see it make a return.
What? This patch overdelivered as far as i'm concerned. I never expected them to significantly reduce the loadtimes in the first place.
Lee Chaolan
Member
Huh, it would seem regardless of drive the times are pretty much the same.
I just tried from Hunters Dream to Cathedral Ward, and it was indeed 28 seconds this time

I'm really happy about the load screens and load time reduction but I'm a little disappointed there's no mention of an option to have the hud disappear out of combat. I thought I read in one of the Bloodborne threads that they acknowledged it.

Right after I Platinumed it, they finally fixed the load times =/

Yes to the bolded.
Wasn't the option always there? Go to System -> Environment and disable the “Display HUD" option.

Framepacing issues still persist. Worse than any loading problems.
do you know if they fixed the glitch where the big dudes with grey bags got stuck on the stairs..?

User you are replying to mentions about AUTO hiding of the HUD. Going to settings of the game every now and then doesn't makes sense. I'd also appreciate auto hud after not pressing any buttons and just cruising around the environment

Nice save, I almost gave some very bad advice then lol. Thanks!
