While at least onehighly requestedAtomic Heartfeature is already in development, Mundfish appears to be focused on addressing technical problems in the interim. The company already put out a day one patch that upgrades the game to version 1.04, then followed up on that release with a 1.05 update on February 22. The attached changelogs claim the new patches tackle stability issues and glitches, as well as some frame rate drops and other performance problems.Atomic Heart’s 1.05 update is also said to contain localization improvements and address bugs with missing audio, but that’s as far as the patch notes go in terms of details.
Overall, whileAtomic Heartplayers will likely be pleased to learn that Mundfish is hard at work improving the game’s troublesome technical aspects, at least some of them are also hoping for a bit more transparency when it comes to divulging the contents of these updates. As things stand right now, the developer hasn’t even acknowledged the patches via any of its official channels, prompting some fans to voice their frustrations with this lack of communication on social media.
