After its launch over a month ago, Konami's eFootball 2021 has received its first Patch 0.9.1 Update, which has brought in potential fixes and improvements for the football management simulation game, especially its several issues, bugs, and visual glitches.
However, according to Dual Shockers, these fixes will not fully polish the game, as they are still under development as of this writing, which means that the developers of the game are still working on them to make them work in the coming days and weeks to ensure that the issues will be solved.
On the other hand, the developing team revealed that they are delaying the release of the full version of the game, which supposedly within this November, to the Spring of 2022.
Fixes that will be Implemented
According to the patch notes posted in the game's website, eFootball 2022's Patch 0.9.1 Update fixed a major error that cause the game to crash.
It also fixed the bugs that cause some players to appear as floating suits or disappear entirely during the pre-match cutscene, and show that they are wearing one in the "Select Uniform" menu.
It also fixed several bugs that cause several objects to not be displayed during the pre-match cutscenes due to slow loading times, and background objects to appear blurry in the pre-match "Select Team" menu.
It also fixed several visual glitches such as player's arms will clip into each other during the pre-match national anthem and post-match victory scenes, and the grass in the football field will not appear three-dimensionally during the pre-match cutscene.
