Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters get first PC patch, addressing window settings and other issues

Square Enix has today released the first PC patch for the recently released first three entries of the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Series. 

Most notably, this patch addresses some of the more obviously tedious issues in the remaster, such as the game resetting window display settings every time it is launched. The patch also states to mitigate some of the screen-tearing issues, although with the focus being on windowed mode for now. 

Perhaps most importantly, Square Enix states more updates are planned in the future, to address further stability and speed. Maybe Square Enix can also address the game's default English font so players don't have to resort to modifying it.

The patch notes from Square Enix can be found below. Final Fantasy IV Pixel Remaster isn't far away - set to release on September 8.
