After almost a month since its release, Arkane Studios have graced Dishonored 2 fans with another new update with high hopes of improving general performance for players, as well as improving their current standing on Steam.

Since being released, a large number of players have been suffering from various performance issues, which undoubtedly has been a large reason for its “Mixed” overall Steam user score.  Today’s newly released Update 1.3 patch, which was currently available as a Beta patch, is now open to all players and should automatically update upon Steam’s launch.

Promising to further improve on overall performance and general optimization, along with other known issues, one of which seems to stem from the previous NVIDIA drivers 375.70 and 375.86. Those playing on NVIDIA hardware should update to the newer, recommended driver 375.95 and above to alleviate some of the performance issues they may have experienced. While not mentioned specifically if past AMD drivers were problematic, they do however recommend AMD users to update to 16.11.14 drivers and above.
