Dragon Quest XI Patch 1.01 is Out

People’s Names Are No Longer Forbidden

Square Enix released a Dragon Quest XI patch this weekend, bringing the game up to version 1.01 for both PS4 and PC players. There’s a number of changes, not the least of which is the ability to give your hero a person’s name. That’s right, he can be Robert or Paul once again. The complete patch notes are listed below.

Dragon Quest XI

PlayStation 4
We’ve identified a bug which can sometimes cause the game to crash when the player is 300m away from their horse on the field, this has been fixed.
People’s names (such as “Robert”) have been removed from the list of prohibited words when selecting the main character’s name at the beginning of the game.
Multiple text bugs have been fixed.
Steam
We’ve identified a bug which can sometimes cause the game to crash when the player is 300m away from their horse on the field, this has been fixed.
Players are now able to send log data to the DRAGON QUEST XI development team in cases where the game crashes.
Players are able to choose between three (Low, Medium, High) pre-set graphic settings before launching the game (see below for details).
People’s names (such as “Robert”) have been removed from the list of prohibited words when selecting the main character’s name at the beginning of the game.
Multiple text bugs have been fixed.
It’s now possible to move the command selection cursor using the left stick, and by extension WASD on keyboards, with very few exceptions in certain screens.
It’s now possible to select which key exits the game (by default this is set to Esc) and it’s also possible to bind the Esc key to a different function.
More frame rate options have been added; 90 fps, 120 fps, 144 fps as well as the option to leave the frame rate unlocked.

One welcome change to the PC edition is the ability to change the graphics and framerate settings. This is an essential feature for any high-end PC game, and it’s a little weird that Square Enix didn’t include it from the beginning. Better late than never though, right? Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age is available now on PS4 and Steam.
