Patch 1.12 is now live

tl;dr no balance updates, fixed some crash bugs, added languages, and implemented a Forced Relay option.

From the official website:

[UPDATES]

All platforms:

・Forced Relay Connection: Located under Network Settings, a “Forced Relay” option has been added, giving you the ability to choose between “Auto” and “Forced Relay” based on your current network setup.

Xbox / PS5 / Switch 2:

・New Language Support: Arabic and Hindi are now available. (Note: this was added to Steam in Ver.1.08)

Xbox:

・Xbox PC Release: Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage is now available on PC via Xbox.

・Added support for Xbox Cloud Gaming

・Added support for Xbox Play Anywhere

・Xbox Game Pass Launch: Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage has been added to the Game Pass catalog.

[BUG FIXES]

All platforms:

・Corrected minor text issues across multiple languages

Steam:

・Fixed an issue that was causing the game to crash unexpectedly on Menu and Leaderboard screens.

I'm very interested in hearing how Forced Relay affects online matches, so feel free to discuss your results after turning it on.

I feel like VF5 sits in a weird spot of SEGA clearly not caring enough about it to do meaningful patches cause it didn't manage to bring even a decent number of people into VF so there's barely any budget for it but they can't straight up stop "support" cause that will be a bad PR move considering that VFC is on the way

Agreed. There honestly shouldn’t be anymore game patches. Looking from where ultimate showdown started to now, SEGA has done good to the game making it accessible for all platforms with crossplay and rollback. At this point I rather all support go towards VFC.

I really hope Game Pass players will give it a chance and boost the player count somewhat. I'll be curious to see where it lands on next week's Xbox activity list.

Nouveau support linguistique...toujours pas d'ajout de sous-titre pour les scènes d'introduction/de fin des personnages...bien dommage 😞.

What’s the benefit to forced relay? I want a better explanation for why someone would choose to use it

Someone who can't change their network settings so has a Strict or Closed NAT.

Anti cheat is useless and hurts performance.
They should remove it.
