Dave the Diver has received a small but significant update from Mint Rocket. Patch 1.26 (1.026 on current-gen) focuses on fixing bugs, especially those affecting the Ichiban’s Holiday DLC. If you’ve been stuck or noticed odd behavior during the beat ‘em up sequences, this patch might save your day.
The update was released recently, with PC players receiving a hotfix a bit earlier. It’s a minor patch, but some of the fixes address frustrating issues that could freeze the game or cause characters to stop responding during crucial moments.
What’s Fixed in Patch 1.26?
- The patch fixes a softlock problem that could happen during the last stage of the beat ‘em up sequence in the DLC.
- Also resolved is an issue where characters would sometimes become unresponsive during these sequences.
Released about three months ago, the Ichiban’s Holiday DLC brought a crossover with SEGA’s Yakuza series. It introduces new story elements, beat-’em-up gameplay, a rhythm game featuring karaoke, new sushi staff, drinks, and dishes—quite a bit to enjoy.
If you haven’t checked it out yet or run into these bugs, this patch should make your experience smoother. I’m curious, did you encounter the softlock? How did it affect your playthrough? Feel free to share your thoughts or any other issues you noticed in the comments below.
