Maybe it's placebo but I feel like the performance got ever so slightly better for me :lol:

Also the patch did some shit with enemy stats. There's the guy at the crater that the thieving kid delivers your Stolen Goods to, right? Earlier today when I tried to bash his face he was marked with 3 skulls for me and was hp bloated. After the patch suddenly he went down to 1 skull and I could kill him in three (!) regular (!!) hits. I also kill sick plague rats in 2 hits which I'm p sure didn't happen before. But otoh a bunch of other shits like jackals, reapers and the overgrown wasps seem to be the same.

Also a word of warning, something i've now confirmed with 100% certainty - don't spend too much time paused in the Esc menu, don't try to bring it up when you're near anything that's graphically taxing, and God have mercy on your soul if you try alt-tabbing when you're in that menu.

Patch didn't do anything. Goddamn, get your shit together PB. At the very least you could have provided another camera option. I have a really hard time understanding how that can be such a difficult thing to achieve when they are working off the same engine yet again.

Don't get me started on the performance. I think I've actually dropped a few FPS since I last played.

THQ Nordic Community Manager says they're working on the camera, but it had to be lower-priority https://steamcommunity.com/app/900040/eventcomments/3190242859080903514/#c3190242859080929395

So I stumbled upon an easter egg.

:hero:

The developer graveyard! All of our favorite Piranha Bytes developers are here, including Björn and Jenny.

There's quite a few easter eggs at that graveyard. I think most of the graves are easter eggs, except for those that are quest-related.

Elex II Patch 1!

Hey everyone!

We have just launched the first patch for Elex II on steam

Patch notes are as follows -

* Fixed problems with certain graphic cards (especially VEGA chipsets)
* Fixed some screen tearing problems
* Reduced mesh size
* Increased mesh cache size
* Fixed a bug where mesh cache got fragmented over time
* Fixed a bug in controller support
* Fixed various smaller bugs

We also released a patch on Playstation 4 and 5 that fixes the screen tearing

More information for other platforms will come in the future.

Remember if you have issues with our game to report them here - https://redmine.thqnordic.com/projects/elex2-community/issues/new

How the hell is this a 14gb patch?

Was only a 2.9GB patch for me.

Huh. Locked out of morkons for not being destructive enough.
So the faction choices are berzerkers, morkons, berzerker or morkon and defect to outlaw, albs (major destruction shift), and alb and defect to clerics (perhaps reverse alignment shift?).

It's impressive that PB are continuing their policy of environmentally aware, sustainable game development by making the NPCs and dialogue out of wood.
