The Ascent: New patch now also available for the Xbox Game Pass, but ensures problems

The Blu-ray Disc (BD), frequently recognized just as Blu-ray, is an electronic optical disk storage space layout. It is developed to supersede the DVD layout, and also efficient in saving numerous hours of high-definition video clip (HDTV 720p as well as 1080p). The major application of Blu-ray is as a medium for video product such as feature movies and also for the physical distribution of computer game for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and also Xbox Series X. The name Blu-ray describes the blue laser (which is in fact a violet laser) made use of to check out the disc, which allows details to be saved at a higher density than is possible with the longer-wavelength red laser made use of for DVDs. The plastic disc is 120 millimetres (4.7 in) in diameter as well as 1.2 millimetres (0.047 in) thick, the very same dimension as DVDs as well as CDs. Conventional or pre-BD-XL Blu-ray Discs have 25 GB per layer, with dual-layer discs (50 GB) being the industry standard for feature-length video clip discs. Triple-layer discs (100 GB) and quadruple-layer discs (128 GB) are available for BD-XL re-writer drives.High-definition (HD) video might be kept on Blu-ray Discs with as much as 1920 × 1080 pixel resolution, at 24 dynamic or 50/60 interlaced structures per second. DVD-Video discs were restricted to an optimum resolution of 480i (NTSC, 720 × 480 pixels) or 576i (BUDDY, 720 × 576 pixels). Besides these hardware specifications, Blu-ray is connected with a collection of multimedia styles. The BD layout was established by the Blu-ray Disc Association, a group standing for manufacturers of consumer electronics, hardware, and movie. Sony unveiled the initial Blu-ray Disc prototypes in October 2000, as well as the initial model gamer was released in Japan in April 2003. After that, it remained to be created up until its main globally launch on June 20, 2006, starting the high-definition optical disc format war, where Blu-ray Disc contended with the HD DVD layout. Toshiba, the primary company sustaining HD DVD, yielded in February 2008, as well as later on released its very own Blu-ray Disc gamer in late 2009. According to Media Study, high-def software application sales in the United States were slower in the initial two years than DVD software program sales. Blu-ray faces competitors from video on need (VOD) and also the continued sale of DVDs. In January 2016, 44% of UNITED STATE broadband houses had a Blu-ray gamer. For playback of 4K content, the BDA presented a variation of Blu-ray called Ultra HD Blu-ray.

The top-down shooter The Ascent was published on 29 July 2021. In our test, we praised the title especially for his beautiful graphics, but the gameplay unfortunately showed some shortcomings. Even the co-op mode, which should actually be one of the strengths of the game, unfortunately caused frustration for frustration.

The developers took the criticism of players to heart and published on the 6 . August a patch that brought some bug fixes and improvements to the gameplay. Also, since this patch, all PC players can also use Ray Tracing, which the graphics of the title again picked up a lot.

The patch was first published for Steam players and has also been available for all Xbox users and for the Xbox Game Pass version for yesterday. The latter already had some shortcomings for publication, with which the Steam version had not struggled. Some players designated the version even as simply broken. The developers promised to repair the title for the Xbox Game Pass, but the new patch has probably caused the opposite.

Many players on reddit have been reporting problems with the frame rate since the new update, which should decrease on up to 10 fps from time to time. Allegedly, this is due to the fact that the title Ray Tracing is automatically activated, even if your own GPU does not support it.

There are also some problems with the Cybereck and crashes should now be much more frequent. Even the Achievements of the Xbox Game Pass version still do not work, and even a player reported that he has lost his character when he wanted to start a co-op game.

The developers have not yet addressed these new problems yet, but it can probably assume that fundamental problems in the version for the Xbox Game Pass. Whether the developers can fix them in a hotfix or a new big patch will probably only show the future. Until then, everyone who is interested in the game should rather decide for a purchase of the Steam version.
