Developer Creative Assembly introduced a new patch for tactical wargame Total War: Warhammer III that addresses excessive installation times required for relatively small patches, game stuttering with Windows 11 and more. Both performance and stability remain a long-term ongoing effort for the team.
The two major milestoles players can look forward to include the Steam ALT + TAB crash fix and major update 1.1, introducing gameplay, balance, and bug-fix updates.
Total War: Warhammer III – Update 1.0.2 Patch 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.
