Pacific Drive’s latest update, which Ironwood Studios calls hotfix 1.9.4 slots in changes to some settings, fixes a good number of bugs, and more.

Console gamers will see this Pacific Drive update as version 1.009.004, although don’t expect it to fix every known issue the game currently suffers from.

Pacific Drive New Update 1.009.004/1.9.4 Brings Not Just Fixes But Even Changes

Version 1.9.4 – Highlights

  • The sink, toilet, and hand dryer are functional at Oppy’s Garage!
  • The Z.E.T.I. device upgrade issue has been fixed during the introductions to Expeditions quest line, when presented by Francis in the garage.
  • We have moved several gameplay options to the accessibility section of the pause menu – this means that they are universal, and will be applied across all saves as well as available in the Expeditions game mode. Check below for more details.

Bugs and UX Fixes

The following options have been moved to the Accessibility section of the settings menu, which applies them universally to all save slots and game modes like Expeditions:

    • Pausing the game while in menus
    • Easy Ignition
    • Equipped Part Swapping
    • Easy Shifter
    • Enabling or Disabling the Acid Splash effect on Windshield
    • Require Car in Park to Turn On

Fixed issues surrounding the start of an Expedition

    • Fixed placing a Rewoven Hard Drive into the Z.E.T.I not triggering the Expedition state (Map wouldn’t appear, garage couldn’t open)
    • Expeditions rewards are now fixed, solving the previous issue of them not being available to certain players
  • Fixed an issue where players could not install the Z.E.T.I. Device upgrade delivered by Francis during the Expeditions intro quest

  • A handful of rarely occurring crashes are now fixed permanently:

    • Spawning system-related crash from reloading into a map or resuming a save
    • PhysX crash
    • Rare crash during Expeditions introduction
  • Fixed an issue where the dash light indicating that Quirks are present would not turn on, leading to an issue where subtle quirks would go unnoticed
  • The Garage bathroom fixtures are fully functional once again – the sink, toilet, and hand dryer are all usable after resuming from a save or map reload
  • Fixed an issue where the Spike Strip and Spike Log Anomalies would unintentionally deal far too much damage to the player when the car dropped below its protection threshold
  • Fixed issue where subtitles would be shown twice during gameplay
  • Fixed an issue where retrieving items from a Burr using the Thermal Vacuum could cause them to fall under the world
  • Driver entrance to car animation has been fixed – no longer possible to crouch repeatedly, triggering physics obliteration of the car
  • PlayStation DualSense controllers now play radiation detection noises as intended

For the list of known issues still currently being worked on, head on over here.
