Weird Scarlet Nexus Shadow Glitch Gets Mounted

A recent Scarlet Nexus update revealed that Bandai Namco’s trendy action RPG wasn’t rendering personality and enemy shadows on PC if it became being performed in lots of non-English languages. Even the supreme video video games are technical marvels held together by hopes, dreams, and duct tape, but this takes the cake.

While the patch notes don’t plug into specifics about which languages had been affected, Scarlet Nexus players had been discussing the enviornment on the game’s Steam boards since it launched on June 25. Knowledgeable players sooner or later supplied a workaround that obtained shadows working in French, Italian, and German by including a easy text string to Scarlet Nexus’ originate alternatives.

Kotaku contacted Bandai Namco for extra recordsdata but didn’t hear aid sooner than e-newsletter.

Having a stare upon Scarlet Nexus videos from the previous few weeks, it’s particular the shadow malicious program no longer handiest affected the PC originate but to boot the variations on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X. And from what I will convey, the anguish handiest manifested after a explicit level in the game, as shadows can clearly be considered in photographs of Scarlet Nexus’ opening moments. That acknowledged, until we accumulate extra particulars from Bandai Namco, it’s hard to pin down the scope and breadth of the enviornment.

Funnily ample, shadows are positively intact in the pictures Scarlet Nexus uses for in-sport tutorial pop-ups, handiest to attain aid to shadow-much less gameplay moments later. It’s a kind of issues that can presumably perhaps also no longer had been straight noticeable alongside the RPG’s slick, quick-paced fight but now sticks out love a sore thumb.

This graphical oddity also gained traction on Twitter following the update’s July 7 originate thanks to French-speaker yaoilowell (huge title, by the map in which), who joked that the malicious program became fair true since of us in France don’t in actuality solid shadows in staunch lifestyles. The jury’s serene out on that one, but at the least the anguish has been rectified in Scarlet Nexus. No extra pretending each person in the game is a vampire when you happen to’re no longer playing in English.
