Oi Oi, Savaloy! You may remember our recent feature on Filthy Lucre, and it’s subsequent Review. We loved the game for its old-school stealth vibe, but it wasn’t without a few technical hiccups. Well old Uncle Ronnie’s been listenin’ in on you ‘orrible, whinin’, set of mugs, and he’s got a little surprise for you. Or in other words, Fabrik Games have released their 1.02 update today for US & EU players, and it comes with a few appreciated fixes. Read on for more;

Fabrik Games tweeted the above patch notes earlier on this afternoon, announcing some much appreciated fixes to their PS4 game, Filthy Lucre. As seen in the notes, a couple of the bugs we pointed out in our review have now been ironed out; including the sometimes missing collectible antique from the first mission. To top it off, there’s been some fine tuning to combat and enemy AI, and the audio has been remixed for 5.1 surround sound.
Our reviewer, Dom O’Leary, has booted up the game to see if the updates make a tangible difference and he had this to say;
“Today’s update is not a game-changer, but some of the tweaks to AI and combat are noticeable straight away. Shotgun-wielding enemies have been slightly nerfed in terms of fire rate, so they’re no longer quite as deadly, and AI is a little sharper. The bug fixes are more significant to me, I appreciate the developer’s efforts to iron out some of the flaws in this otherwise enjoyable game. I continue to play and enjoy Filthy Lucre, hope to see some of our readers in co-op putting the new AI to the test!”
