We downloaded the first patch for Pathfinder: Kingmaker on our PS4 today (8-18-20). We had been having frequent trouble with our copy of the game, and this patch corrected pretty much every error we were seeing. Here is a copy of the patch notes that we received. We have adjusted our review of Pathfinder: Kingmaker for the PS4 since this patch addressed the problems we were having. The patch is 17.5 gigabytes, and will take a bit of time to download.
