A pre-release patch for Old Time Hockey has addressed a number of issues including player input lag.
The patch, available ahead of the game’s release on PC and PS4, does the following:
- Input delays when gaining control of the puck have been resolved.
- Controller settings help descriptions updated to improve clarity.
- Contains fixes for a crash on faceoff.
- Two-Button, Retro, and Beer Mode control schemes updated to allow for hip-checks when the bodycheck button is held.
- Arcade Effects can’t be turned off during Story Mode.
