EA has announced the release of NHL 24’s update 1.2.2. While minor in scope, this update addresses loading times within the World of Chel (WOC).
According to EA’s statement on the forums, the patch was scheduled for release at 12 pm ET today. The primary objective of this update is to improve the diagnostic process for prolonged load times, an issue some players have faced in WOC. The developers advise players to wrap up their online games before the patch’s release, as a server downtime of up to an hour is expected post-update.
Interestingly, this update does not bring any gameplay or tuner adjustments. This approach indicates EA’s focused effort on enhancing the game’s technical performance, explicitly targeting the loading issues concerned players.
This update follows closely on the heels of last week’s version 1.21 patch, which introduced a range of gameplay-related changes. While the current update might seem less substantial, its impact on player experience, especially regarding load times, could be quite significant.
