Patch notes for Rise of the Ronin update 1.09.0.2 are listed below, via the game’s official website:
Rise of the Ronin Update 1.09.0.2 Patch Notes
- Added option “Graphics Mode” – This setting allows you to choose between “Prioritize Graphics” and “Prioritize FPS”, for graphic settings in the game. When set to “Prioritize FPS,” the game will automatically adjust graphics settings to maintain performance if the game falls to slow-motion.
- Adjusted Graphics Settings Performance – Adjustments have been made to optimize settings that were particularly demanding on performance, which were the main causes of frame rate drops.
- Added an additional location for backup save data – In case of any save data related issues, we have created another back up location for save data.
\Users\”username”\Documents\KoeiTecmo\Ronin\Savedata\(Steam Account ID)
Each data will be saved in the following location:
Manual Save: “SAVEDATA**” folder (** represets numbers 00~49)
Auto Save: “SAVEDATAAUTO” folder
Back Up Save Data Location
\Users\”username”\AppData\Local\KoeiTecmo\Ronin\Savedata\(Steam Account ID)
A folder will be made for both manual and auto saves, and within them will be a file named BACKUP.BIN.
Rename the BACKUP.BIN file of the save data you wish to recover, to SAVEDATA.BIN. Replace the SAVEDATA.BIN file in the Save Data Location with the file you have just renamed.
