Dragon Ball Z Kakarot Update V104 Better [portable] -

Since Update v1.04 was the major "Next-Gen" patch (released alongside the PS5/Series X versions), this guide focuses on utilizing the new graphical modes, quality-of-life fixes, and how to optimize your playstyle for the smoothest gameplay.

What’s New / Fixed in v1.04

  • Reduced loading times (especially when flying or entering battles).
  • Fixed soft-locks during certain story fights (Raditz, Vegeta, Buu).
  • Improved frame rate during Kamehameha / Ultimate Attacks.
  • Community Board glitch fixed (no more lost emblems).
  • DLC save corruption issue patched.

Key Changes:

  • Surge Mode Adjustments: The Surge mechanic (which prevents stagger and reduces Ki drain) was lengthened slightly. This allows players to actually use their ultimate attacks without being knocked out of the animation by a random Saibamen.
  • Enemy AI Tweaks: Villainous enemies (the red aura bosses) are now less likely to spam hyper-armor moves. Instead, they use telegraphed heavy attacks, rewarding players who utilize the Step Dodge mechanic.
  • Community Board Balancing: The cooking and training community bonuses were re-scaled. Previously, you could become overpowered by the Android Saga. Now, the scaling is slightly flatter, meaning the Cell and Buu fights actually pose a threat.

Is it better? Yes. The game no longer incentivizes brainless spamming. You have to actually use Guard Impacts and vanish attacks. dragon ball z kakarot update v104 better

The Save File Safety Net

v1.04 improved stability, but open-world games can still crash. What’s New / Fixed in v1

  • The Fix: Go to Options > System and ensure Auto-Save is on.
  • Manual Saves: Always create a separate manual save slot before entering a Training Room or a Main Story Boss fight. This prevents you from getting stuck in a loop if a cutscene bugs out.

1. Critical Bug Fixes (Stability)

For early players, the game had a tendency to crash during specific cutscenes or when transitioning between areas. Version 1.04 was highly anticipated because it addressed hard crashes, particularly on base PS4 and Xbox One consoles. It made the experience significantly more stable for the mid-to-late game (specifically during the Cell and Buu sagas).

4. Enemy AI No Longer Spams Super Attacks

Before v1.04, high-level enemies (especially in the "Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot – A New Power Awakens" DLC) would spam beam struggles and homing attacks endlessly. This forced players into a boring "dodge-charge-dodge" loop.

The update adjusts enemy aggression cooldowns. Villains now use their super moves less frequently but hit harder when they do. The result? Fights feel more like the anime—tense exchanges of blows, not a bullet hell shooter. This makes the combat feel more strategic and rewarding.
