This article lists all the information about the official patches for Just Cause 4.
Description[]
A patch is a game programming improvement, made by the game developers (Avalanche Studios) to improve game performance, fix Just Cause 4 Bugs and glitches, and sometimes add new game features. A patch is added to the game after initial release. While very similar, patches are not exactly the same as updates, which are more focused on adding things rather than fixing things. For the purpose of this article, updates are included here as well.
These are not to be confused with Modifying, which is when the player community alters game code for fun.
The list may be incomplete, because some of the patches were not formally announced. All of these were automatically downloaded and installed.
2018.12.05 first known patch[]
There was a small patch on December 5th, 2018, but it's unknown what it fixed.

2019.02.19 "development update"[]
The following text is quoted from here (go there for the example screenshots mentioned):
The team's working on improving vegetation, water and more.
Firstly, to all fans that have played and provided feedback on Just Cause 4, thank you for your continued support. We actively read feedback and pass it on to the development team.
One thing we’re keen to do is share more with you, the JC community, about the development of the game. Here’s what we’ve been working towards lately and what to expect from future patches for Just Cause 4. Don’t worry – this blog will focus on production and won’t include any Just Cause spoilers!
So what’s been going on recently at Avalanche? Today we released a small PC update that fixed a broken Just Cause 4 achievement.
We’re also pleased to say that work on the future updates to Just Cause 4 has been going well. Visual upgrades have been a core focus for the team here in order to deliver the most immersive Solís experience possible.
Here’s a preview of some of the changes we’ve been working on for the next couple of updates to Just Cause 4:
Improved vegetation
Vegetation-related fixes have been a primary objective for the team. As you can see in the image below, medium-sized rainforest vegetation now renders shadows, regardless of its distance from Rico. Previously, in the range shown in the below image, many of the smaller shrubs wouldn’t have any shadows.
A separate issue related to the fade effect on vegetation close to the camera has now been fixed. Previously, this effect would cause visibility issues when walking through vegetation or tethering to vehicles, but now it applies to bark and smaller shrubs, instead of just large plants' foliage.
Improved water effects
The team has also focused on improving the visual quality of rivers and water in Just Cause 4.
One of the key improvements has been underwater visibility - underwater tonal colours have been fixed, rays of light and ambient light now match the surface, and we’ve fixed river surface visibility when underwater, so waves/ripples from boats/foam are visible when Rico’s submerged!
Waterfalls now exit rivers in a more realistic manner (we’ve removed particles in the below screenshot to show what's behind the waterfall:
There have been various other graphical fixes to JC4 rivers, such as improved foam and water wakes generated by boats, to fish now spawning underwater.
More improvements to come
These are just some of the improvements we’re currently working on. We’re going to continue our efforts to provide even more fixes for JC4, such as stabilisation improvements, 4K checkerboard rendering on consoles and more. Avalanche are also looking to overhaul the anti-aliasing solution, in order to improve the overall visual fidelity and remove some of the noise that can become apparent in high contrast lighting.
Our team is working very hard to ensure we can deliver the patch work you have requested to the highest quality and as soon as possible. These Developer Blog Updates will hopefully shine a light on some of that work and give you an insight into what’s going on behind the scenes. We hope you find them interesting and useful!
We look forward to sharing more of our progress with you soon and hope that you’re excited to find out more about what’s going on behind the scenes here!
The Just Cause Team.

This is just one of the free Legacy Items we have planned. We hope to share more about Legacy Items soon. You can access the JC3 Rico skin from the updated customisation menu.
[Pictures of Rico in JC3 clothing]
We know that a lot of fans have asked about DLC and future content for Just Cause 4. We have put together a roadmap that shows some of the upcoming updates to the game. We will of course be sharing news on DLC3 and other content down the line closer to their launch. Please note that some of these timings may change but we will keep you up-to-date via this blog.
As you can see, we’ve split this timeline between free and premium content. As well as the expected DLC packs we’re also going to be releasing more legacy item updates for free, and continuing to patch updates into the game.
We are also pleased to reveal that we’ll be launching a free monthly challenge program starting with the launch of DLC2. These Monthly Challenges will test even the most skilled JC players. Completing each challenge will earn you cosmetic rewards for your wingsuit & parachute – we will be talking more about Monthly Challenges closer to launch.

2019.05.21 "development update"[]
The following is a quote from here:
After listening to the Just Cause community, we wanted to release an update with a number of improvements and additions that you have been asking for.
Since December, we have been patching the game, squashing bugs and tweaking existing assets/content. We are proud to say that the Spring Update patch not only brings further improvements, but for the first time we are also adding free content to the world of Just Cause 4.
Here’s a preview of some of the improvements as part of the Spring Update:
Improvements to World Lighting
World lighting has been significantly improved, global lighting presets have been tuned and materials modified to provide better visibility to players and make the world look more vibrant. See some visual examples of the improvements we have made below:
[2 pictures of before and after.]
Lighting is richer and far more dynamic, bouncing off the world realistically. Notice the foliage on the far left is more vibrant and picks up more of the world lighting due to the material updates.
[2 more pictures of before and after.]
Visibility at night has been significantly improved. Black Hand units are far easier to identify in night time conditions.
[2 more pictures of before and after.]
Vegetation and the various biomes in Just Cause 4 feel significantly more vibrant in colour, making Solís feel truly alive and varied in landscape.
[Several more before and after pictures of lighting and coloring effects.]
Destructible Black Hand Statues
Perhaps our most satisfying new content in the spring update is the addition of destructible Black Hand Statues. Will you tear these statues down with your grapple hook? Perhaps use Airlifters to turn them into a floating aircraft? We can’t wait to see all the creative ways players will bring these statues down! The Statues can be found throughout Solís.
Improved Black Hand Combat
Black Hand Combat Vehicle AI has been significantly improved in the Spring Update. The private military are far more aggressive. Jets can engage with you in dogfights, helicopters are more evasive, drones are less crash prone and vehicles will attempt to ram you off the road. Black Hand patrols in Solís have also been increased so get ready for an explosive challenge!
New Mobile Chaos Objects
The roads and skies of Solís now feature mobile chaos objects being transported by truck or Sky Crane, allowing for even more opportunities for destructive chaos. Just how will you use this new portable explosive opportunity?
Destructible Metal Train Bridges
Solís’ metal Train bridges will now explode and break off into large and small fragments, as trains fly off their tracks causing insane carnage.
We have a lot more included in this update, such as increased ammunition for all weapons and various bug fixes. The Spring Update ensures that Just Cause 4 is now the most explosive game in the series to-date.
New DLC announced[]
Today we’re also confirming our second DLC for expansion pass owners: Los Demonios.
In Los Demonios, an ancient demonic force has invaded Solís, with only Rico and an all-new demon killing crossbow up to the challenge of stopping them.

“Los Demonios is both a return to the liberation style gameplay and the introduction of supernatural foes for the first time in JUST CAUSE” said Bryan Rodriguez, Creative Producer at Avalanche Studios. “You will be faced with the most challenging content in the game in Los Demonios, and players will need to bring their A-game if they want to defeat the demons and save Solís from certain doom!”
Los Demonios is out for Gold Edition and Expansion Pass owners TOMORROW, and July 3, 2019 for everyone else. Check out the trailer for Los Demonios below: [See the videos area.]
The Black Market
Looking for additional vehicles to add to your arsenal? Check out the all-new Black Market store. Launching with the Black Market is the Toy Vehicles pack, featuring miniature sized versions of Tank, Boat and the Jet! These mini vehicles take the chaos to hilarious levels, as black hand units respond with their own toy vehicles.

2019.08.14 intel for the next days patch[]
The following is a quote from the official Just Cause Facebook and Twitter pages:
New #JustCause4 Patch Arriving Tomorrow (12:00PM BST / 07:00 EDT):
- Added Free Legacy Pack for Supply Drop.
- Added support for Danger Rising add-on.
- Additional Black Market and Monthly Challenge Support.
- Day/Night cycle adjustments.
- Miscellaneous bug fixes.
2019.10.11 some kind of 13 GB patch[]
There are reports that Xbox One got a 13 GB patch on this day. There has been no noticeable patch for the PC, but the new easter egg is present, so the download may just have gone unnoticed, or been smaller.
There is now a new ghost ship easter egg in the game.
It was stated by the official Just Cause twitter page that Xbox One players have to wait a little longer to get the Sea Dogs vehicle pack DLC. They are probably still waiting for this patch.
2020.04.20 fix for Epic Store users[]
It was announced on the official Just Cause Twitter and Facebook pages that: "Thanks for your patience while we fixed an issue that Epic Store users were experiencing with the game. We are happy to report that we've deployed a fix, please update Just Cause 4 and let us know if you experience any other issues. We hope you enjoy playing #JustCause4!"
2020.04.20 W10 only[]
It was announced on the official Just Cause Twitter page that: "For those still experiencing issues, we ask that you upgrade to Windows 10, as Just Cause 4 is no longer supported on Windows 7. We are updating our Min Specs on digital stores to reflect this change as the minimum OS was listed incorrectly, we apologise for the error."
At that time the game was known to still work well on Windows 7, but it's not known for how long due to possible compatibility issues from any later patches that wouldn't take W7 into consideration.
2021.03-06 minor fixes[]
It's unknown when exactly this small update came, or how many things they changed, but it has been noticed that the following things have changed:
- The map no longer displays the number of squads needed to unlock all regions. Now it only displays the number for those regions that are adjacent to Army of Chaos held regions. However, if Rico enters a region that isn't adjacent to the front line, it will show the amount of squads. There's still no point in doing the Region Strike early, because it won't do anything until the front line has reached an adjacent region.
- Some airports now have additional lighting on the runways. More specifically a row of green lights along the centerline of runways. It appears as though it is to help pilots at night reach a landing strip.
- Heat seems to have been slightly changed again. While it is still mostly impossible to out fight the Black Hand, it seems somewhat easier to fight them now.
2021.09.30 "Patch 1.32"[]
The following was announced on official social media:
"We have released a patch for the PS4 version of Just Cause 4 that fixes a bug that was affecting graphics scaling when playing on PS5 using backwards compatibility.
Patch 1.32 is available to download now. No further updates are planned at this time."
2022.03.02 Epic games language fix[]
The following was announced on official social media:
"We have just released a patch for Just Cause 4 on the EPIC Games Store fixing an issue with selected languages not correctly displaying in menus, UI and subtitles."
