A new 10GB update for Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls is now live, aimed at resolving the technical instability that has hampered the PC version since its release last week. The patch, detailed by developers on the official Discord server, directly targets the primary performance bottlenecks identified by the community.

Confirmed Patch Changes

The update focuses on three core technical areas to improve stability and user experience:

  • Performance Optimization: The patch addresses high CPU usage and micro-stuttering caused by periodic audio processing and unnecessary hardware checks.
  • Settings Retention: A fix has been implemented for an issue where customisation settings would reset to default upon restarting the game.
  • UI Improvements: Online lobby button inputs are now correctly displayed.

The update is mandatory for PC players to continue accessing online features. While the patch has been met with positive early feedback regarding frame rates and CPU load, players are encouraged to take additional steps to ensure optimal performance:

  • Warm up shaders: Allow the game time to compile shaders to avoid mid-match hitches.
  • Use Auto Graphics: The developers specifically recommend using the auto graphics setting, which has been improved in this update to better calibrate visuals for individual hardware.

Early community reports suggest these changes have significantly smoothed out gameplay, with some users noting that CPU usage has been slashed by half. However, some players still report concerns regarding the game's netcode, suggesting that while local performance has improved, online infrastructure remains a point of contention.
