[rewrite this title] “Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii’s Latest Patch Makes Goro Majima’s Golden Balls Obtainable”

So, if you haven’t caught wind of it yet, Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is stirring up some fun with its quest for golden balls—yep, actual golden orbs. And the man of the hour to collect them? None other than Goro Majima, but only if he manages to snag all seven as part of a quirky sub-story.

I get it, the headline might’ve got you thinking something else, but we’re talking about literal treasures scattered across various locations where Goromaru makes landfall, reminiscent of the treasures in Like A Dragon: Gaiden. Some folks hit a snag with a bug preventing them from gathering all of them, but that’s all patched up now. So, ease off with the rotten veggies, and no need to send Kiryu after me!

Good news arrived with the latest patch update, version 1.12, which RGG rolled out on March 7. The patch notes specifically mention, “Fixed an issue where the golden ball could not be obtained.” Talk about a cliffhanger, RGG! Which one was causing the hassle? Was it a sneaky pirate heist by some non-Tojo Clan miscreants? Details remain elusive. But what matters is, like Thin Lizzy might’ve put it, “the balls are back.”

Moving along, here are the rest of the patch fixes across all platforms:

– Fixed an issue preventing manual saves.
– Addressed a glitch where loading a save on a ship under specific conditions would send the player plunging into the sea, trapped in a watery abyss (unexpectedly thrilling, right?).
– Resolved a bug where arcade game rankings weren’t saving.
– Corrected various typos and polished up localization.
– Implemented assorted stability and quality enhancements.

For our PC players, a couple of updates might catch your eye. The game now supports Intel XeSS 2.0.1, plus a rare crash issue during resource loading got smoothed out. If NVIDIA GPUs are giving you grief with random driver crashes, RGG suggests capping your frames per second at 60 in the settings.
