Total War: Warhammer 3’s Patch 1.0.2 brings a wave of updates, and a glimpse of the future to the Old World. Check it out.

Creative Assembly has been hard at work on Total War: Warhammer 3 since launch day. And now, they have a much needed update in the form of Patch 1.0.2, live now on Steam. The new patch fixes many of the playability issues, but along with the patch, Creative Assembly released an update about the future of the game.

Here we find some reassuring news for fans of the game. Here’s a look at Creative Assembly’s update, which includes information about playability and gameplay balance.

Total War: Warhammer 3 Update Status

“Our primary goal with this release is to raise the baseline for our community: assisting those who have been unable to play and implementing the first performance fixes for those of you experiencing framerate caps or issues running the game on certain high-end rigs. Both performance and stability will be a long-term and ongoing effort for the team, all of which begins with raising the bottom bar for those most impacted by technical obstacles or issues.

Following today’s build, we will be working towards two major milestones to which you can look forward:

    • Steam Beta of the ALT+Tab Crash Fix.

      The team is fixing a few final graphics issues that popped up as a result of the fix before submitting it to QA for review. Once verified, it will be uploaded and made available as a Steam Beta branch, which will allow affected players to verify that it works on their system before it is approved for an official game build.

    • Update 1.1.

      The game’s first major gameplay, balance, and bug-fix update is in the works, and the team has pulled together a wide variety of changes for you to enjoy. We’ll talk more about what to expect in the update this week, though its arrival date is still TBD as the team puts it through all the necessary testing and approval cycles.”

Now here are the patch notes themselves.

Total War: Warhammer 3 Patch 1.0.2 notes

GAME

  • Improved our build-authoring process, which will reduce the excessive install times required for relatively small patches. We expect to further reduce these install times with the next game update.

  • Fixed a problem where the vertical sync (VSync) setting was being forced on for some players—artificially limiting the framerate regardless of system specs.

  • Resolved game stuttering issues when playing the game in Windows 11 with Intel Alder Lake (12th-generation) processors.

  • Fixed an issue that caused the game to hang on first boot in certain languages.

  • The game will now display an error if installed to a folder path that uses non-English characters. Doing so will cause the game to be unresponsive. To alleviate this, we recommend changing the installation location to a folder or folder path that doesn’t include non-English characters.

MULTIPLAYER

  • Fixed an issue that caused battles in multiplayer campaign to desync.

  • General multiplayer services improvements.

Good luck closing those rifts in the meantime
