Patch notes

Any chance in the future when the patch notes are released we can either see an extensive list or get a link to one for ALL CHANGES made whether its pc xb or ps4. The patch notes are insanely limited and we see changes made to the full spectrum of the game. Would be nice to be in the know is all thnx.

    WYSIWYG. It has been like this for as long as I can remember.

    Simple, if there's no patch notes, it's hardware maintenance and some cleaning of 'data-dust'. Lol.

    They are not going to give that sort of detail because we do not need to know, and yes the odd change in game escapes the patch notes, but they like to keep they also patch notes simple (most of the time) for folk to read.

    Writing up understandable notes on minor changes is a lot of extra work. At work a patch might include 20 tickets, each of which might have a page full of notes. Condensing that down to a clear, one-sentence explanation isn't worth the time for many of them.

    Our typical text for the in-app check for updates: "fixes and enhancements" :)

    Our version history page goes into more detail, but still only mentions 3-5 of the changes, and/or lumps together a set of tickets into something vague like "updates to security."
