Bandai Namco Addresses Flight Stick Support For Ace Combat 8 On PC
Bandai Namco is telling PC players before launch that its stick support will not match Ace Combat 7 at release, and the fix it is promising is parity with the older game rather than anything new.
Reporting from 1 source: Game Spark.
Bandai Namco Entertainment said in a Steam news post that some flight sticks that worked with Ace Combat 7 have configuration features that cannot be used in Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve. The company said fixing this will take time and that it will work on improvements so the devices run in an environment close to the previous game, with further details to be announced later.
The Steam post arrived one day before Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve leaves early access for its October 2 official launch at 7:00 AM. The game is in early access on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam, and the PC build has drawn reports of crashes in some environments, which Bandai Namco has said it is investigating. Alongside the compatibility note, the fourth making-of video for ACE COMBAT HOUR ZERO, the live-action prequel short, went out. The short runs four episodes up to an epilogue, and four making-of installments have now been released, so all the live-action material is out.
