Sega has released another round of fixes forSonic Origins- the publisher’s disappointing collection of classic Sonic platformers - this time taking aim atSonic the Hedgehog 2’s troublesome Tails AI.
Sonic Origins was, to put it politely, a bit of a mess when it launched earlier this year, and was plagued by enough presentational and technical issues - asextensively documentedby Digital Foundry’s John Linneman - that its developerpublicly hit out at Sega, saying it was “very unhappy” at the state the game had been launched in.
Since then, Sega has been working to fix some of Origins' more egregious problems, and its latest patch - officially known as update 1.04 - leads with an attempt to remedy a widely reported AI issue that would repeatedly cause Tails to goes off-screen in Sonic the Hedgehog 2, unable to rejoin the action.
Beyond that, patch 1.04 promises a number of other miscellaneous bug fixes, plus corrections to various mislabelled soundtrack names in the museum, and an update to the Blue Sphere music that should now make it play at the correct speed.
1.04 isn’t all bug fixes however; it also makes a number of newSonic Maniacodes compatible withSonic the Hedgehog 3’s sound test feature, asdetailed by TheOcelot01 on Twitter:
Sonic Origins' 1.04 update is available now on all platforms.
