Like a Dragon Update: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii Fixes Goro Majima’s Unobtainable Golden Balls

Alright, folks, if you’re diving into the vibrant world of Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza In Hawaii, you might have stumbled upon the quest for some elusive golden treasures. And yes, these glittering prizes can end up in the hands of none other than Goro Majima, provided he successfully tracks down all seven scattered across his journey.

Now, I get it—some of you might have anticipated something different from the headline. But trust me, this is about literal lumps of gold you’ll need to collect at various locations Majima ventures to, much like in Like A Dragon: Gaiden. There was a pesky bug making it downright impossible for a few players to complete this quest. Thankfully, that’s been addressed. So, please, no more tossing rotten produce or threatening to sic Kiryu on me.

This fix is part of the latest update, patch 1.12, which RGG rolled out on March 7. The patch notes succinctly state: “Fixed an issue where the golden ball could not be obtained.” RGG, always leaving us with questions, right? Which ball was the culprit? Why was it out of reach? Perhaps one of those treasure-hungry pirates, not a former Tojo Clan heavyweight, whisked it away? Your guess is as good as mine. But hey, the balls are back, and as Thin Lizzy might have put it, that’s really what counts here.

Moving along, the update brings several bug fixes applicable across all platforms:

– Resolved an issue preventing manual saves.
– Fixed a peculiar glitch where loading saved data on a ship under certain conditions might send your character plummeting into the sea with no way back. (Admittedly, that one sounded amusing.)
– Corrected a problem with arcade game rankings not being saved.
– Tidied up some typos and polished localization efforts.
– Implemented various other bug fixes to enhance stability and quality.

For those gaming on PC, listen up: the game now supports Intel XeSS 2.0.1, and a rare resource-loading crash has been fixed. Plus, if you’re dealing with random driver crashes on certain NVIDIA GPUs, RGG suggests tweaking the settings to limit your FPS to 60.

If you haven’t dived into Pirate Yakuza yet, I recommend checking out my review. It includes a bit of contemplation on whether not chuckling at a scene featuring a middle-aged Japanese guy in the shower means I’ve lost my touch for comedy. Happy gaming!
