Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night (Switch) patch notes

1.04 (14 January 2020)

Stability improvements, such as crashes experienced while interacting with bookcases.
Fixed an issue with corruption during dialogue which could lead to crash.
Some Performance improvements related to animations.
General Bug Fixing.

1.03 (31 October 2019)

There are four areas of improvement in version 1.03: Input Lag, Visual Quality, Crashes and Load Times.

First off, input lag has been eliminated throughout the game. You will find the controls more responsive, making the game easier to navigate and enemies easier to fight. There are still a few areas that need optimizing that will be included in update 1.04.

Visual quality has been improved so things look more clear and have more detail.

Overall stability has been improved throughout the game. We have addressed several specific situations that have been causing crashes, most notably when reading books from a bookcase.

Loading times have been reduced significantly, by up to 70% but there are still areas we'd like to improve. We will keep working to improve this on a room-by-room basis.
