EA and Omega Force have released a first patch for their new and seemingly very enjoyable action-RPG, Wild Hearts. After reports in the third week of February of crashes, low frame-rates and stuttering across all platforms, Omega Force have followed through with their plans to bring a patch this week.
Here’s what’s been fixed.
Wild Hearts patch notes
That patch has now arrived, addressing the aforementioned ‘unintentional CPU cap’, some missing or delayed sounds, an RX 7900 XTX rendering issue, and a save corrupt bug, as well as making 16:9/1080p the default setting on initial start-up.
- Fixed an issue where certain high-end CPUs were being unintentionally capped. High-end PC’s should see some performance improvements now.
- Fixed an issue where some sounds were not playing or were being delayed, causing the audio to stack. This ‘audio stacking’ issue was also causing strain on players’ CPU. As a result of this fix, players should see performance improvements across the board. The workaround using 5.1/7.1 audio is no longer necessary on PC.
- Setting default resolution to 16:9 1080p on first boot. The recommended spec for WILD HEARTS is aligned to a 16:9 1080p display, for first time users this will now be the default setting. You can change this setting to the resolution of your choice in-game.
- Fixed render issue (disco lights) when using an AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX.
- Fixed an issue on the save/load screen that could result in corrupted save data.

Additional issues tracked that will be fixed in a later patch:
- A fix is being worked on for audio de-sync issues. For now, if you experience this, rebooting the game will often remedy the problem.
- Rare that PS5 crash when booting the game.
A fairly small patch considering the magnitude of some of these bugs and issues. This concern has been slightly reinforced by PC players, who have reported doubts about the extent of these fixes doing just that.
Is Wild Hearts coming to Xbox Game Pass?
Many in the Wild Hearts subreddit reporting no noticeable (or limited) performance improvements after applying the update. That’s all we have for the Wild Hearts patch notes for now.
