Somehow some people have managed to get hold of Just Cause 3 before its official release. People besides those reviewers and media outfits that get sent copies for working purposes that is. Square Enix have therefore released information about an upcoming pre-release patch to try and get people to maybe hold off until the actual release date.
The patch will be across all platforms and improves a number of things as well as righting a few bugs that were found. The full patch notes are below and some are suitably funny, although most are the usual plain language to avoid confusion I'd guess.
