InXile has released a patch for its role-playing game Wasteland 3 that tackles some of the biggest issues with the game.
Patch 1.1.1., which is now live on Steam, GOG, the Microsoft Store, Xbox One and PlayStation 4, aims to improve performance on consoles, fixes a troublesome co-op loading screen crash, and takes aim at the Antique Appraiser perk exploit.
While I loved Wasteland 3, it’s pretty rough around the edges, and it has some serious issues on consoles and in co-op in particular. InXile said this patch makes over a dozen changes aimed at improving performance and stability, especially on consoles.

Many players have criticised Wasteland 3’s long load times. This patch makes some slight improvements here, but more impactful load time reductions are set for a future patch.
Co-op has seen a lot of attention with this patch. Load screen hangs – aka the 33 per cent load bug – has been largely resolved for co-op games, InXile said. “In a few cases the load bar may appear to be stuck at 33 per cent but will eventually load after five or more minutes,” InXile added. “We’re aware and actively working to resolve these.”
