Honkai: Star Rail players have discovered a hidden improvement in the latest update 1.1 - the ability to switch characters without any delay. This enhancement is just one of several quality-of-life changes that have been implemented since the game's release, setting it apart from Genshin Impact, such as the removal of a constant companion like Paimon. The developers continue to work hard to ensure Honkai: Star Rail offers the best possible gaming experience to its players, and the latest patch is a testament to this. The game has already achieved remarkable success, with over 20 million downloads in a single day upon its launch, and its popularity has been sustained well into its second month. While being associated with the well-known Genshin Impact franchise has certainly helped, HoYoverse's dedication to providing a seamless and enjoyable gameplay experience has also been a key factor in its success.
Gamers have recently discovered a new quality-of-life update in Honkai: Star Rail, which was not mentioned in the patch notes. This update, as discovered by Reddit user JorganJreeman, makes switching characters while running smoother than before. With this update, players no longer experience any delay in running and seamlessly switch characters during movement. Although seemingly small, this change greatly improves gameplay by making running around more fluid and less annoying. Version 1.1 also introduced several other quality-of-life features, such as menu improvements for better intuitiveness, a function to help players locate crafting materials, and an issue fix where players were attacked by enemies when spawning near the Bud of Harmony Calyx while farming materials.
Unfortunately, despite being updated to version 1.1, Honkai: Star Rail still falls short of expectations for some fans. Many are disappointed that the promised in-game Friend Chat feature is still not available, despite being confirmed by HoYoLab prior to the patch's release. While this has left some gamers feeling let down, it is worth noting that HoYoVerse is actively working on enhancing the game's overall quality and user experience, so it's possible that this feature will be added in the near future. Honkai Star Rail is currently available on both Mobile and PC, with plans for PS4 and PS5 versions in the works.
