Like A Dragon Update: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii Now Makes Goro Majima’s Golden Balls Accessible

Alright, let’s dive into some interesting updates about the game “Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza In Hawaii.” So, if you’ve come across the quest involving those golden balls, they’re indeed a collectible of sorts, linked to none other than Goro Majima. If Majima manages to gather all seven, it’s all part of a charming side story.

Now, a quick clarification for anyone who might have had different expectations from the headline: we’re talking about literal gold balls here. You’ll find them scattered in various locations as you explore the ports of Goromaru, much like in “Like A Dragon: Gaiden.” A nasty bug had been preventing some players from gathering all the balls, but fear not—it’s been squashed. So, let’s put those metaphorical tomatoes down and keep calm about Kiryu.

The fix for this bug is included in the latest update, patch 1.12, that RGG launched today, March 7. The patch notes specifically mention: “Fixed an issue where the golden ball could not be obtained.” That’s all they offered in terms of an explanation. We’re left to wonder—was it a sneaky pirate responsible for this? Regardless, like the classic Thin Lizzy tune, the balls are back, and that’s what counts.

Now, here’s a rundown of other improvements the patch brings across all platforms:

– They’ve resolved an issue that made manual saving impossible.
– Fixed a glitch where loading a saved game under specific conditions would drop players into the sea, rendering a return impossible. (Imagine that adventure!)
– Addressed a problem where arcade game rankings refused to save.
– Corrected various typos and enhanced localization efforts.
– A bundle of other bug fixes aimed at stabilizing and refining the game quality.

On the PC side of things, the game has been updated with Intel XeSS 2.0.1, and they’ve “fixed a rare crash issue that occurred during resource loading.” If you’re running into unexpected driver crashes with specific NVIDIA GPUs, RGG suggests capping your FPS at 60 in the settings.
