Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes Patch Updates Are Already Rolling Out

Suikoden’s spiritual successor, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, is out now and unfortunately it has some performance issues on Switch.

If you’re wondering how developer Rabbit & Bear Studios will react to this in the future, the Japanese patch notes could be a sign of what’s to come. In an update to “all backers” of the game here, the team revealed details of the Version 1.0.3 patch.

Based on a rough translation of this update (via social networks), this patch fixes bugs that affect game progression, improves stability, and fixes other minor bugs. It’s worth mentioning that the US version of the Switch version is already version 1.0.3 at launch, so all updates from this patch have been applied.

Player reports on the Eiyuden Chronicle subreddit claim that it did little to improve the game’s performance.

In our Hundred Heroes review here on Nintendo Life, we summed up the performance as a “technical disaster” on the Switch – noting that the frame rate often took huge dives and rarely reached its 30fps target. To add to this, there are uncomfortably long loading times, as well as software locks that force you to restart the game.
