Thank you, awesome jobs guys, hopefully the AVX2 "solution" doesn't involve removing those instructions for those CPUs which are able to leverage them. A separate .exe file compiled with older instructions would be alright though.

I guess the increase in LOD quality is reducing performance for those using middle of the road CPUs, but with the patch notes they now know how to tweak the game accordingly. In my case with a 5800X3D the game looks better and performance increased, amazing.

Also, hope you guys are given the chance to port the Nathan Drake Collection.

Thank you for these fixes. Are you working on the choppy audio during cutscenes?

[Nicks]

Really?
What about other fixes?
And why I haven't received no answer on my tickets?

Totally agree.
Have the same CPU.

Every update seems to corrupt my save files. First patch, after verifying the local files a couple times and booting/quiting the game fixed itself somehow. This second patch however my save files seems un-repairable. 15 plus hours gone, almost at the end of the game.

Have tried deleting the local save files and have steam DL the saves from the cloud but from what I can tell the cloud save files are corrupted as well.

OMG thank u so much... I can continue playing this game normally with a MOUSE...

[Moritz]

Hey there, sorry to do this again but this patch also seems totally broken, at least for my game :(

1. Yes, the ugly mouse stutter is fixed with raw input being set to off and yes the sensitivity slider is much better so you dont have to increase the dpi setting to make it work BUT what makes it pretty much unplayable for me is that the mouse sensitivity is COMPLETELY different when standing behind cover vs. running around. I set my sensitivity just how i liked it and it was fine when i was behind cover in an encounter but then i started walking and it was like 10x the sensitivity. As soon as i took cover again, the sense was fine.

2. when looking up or down it is slow as hell no matter how sensitive the mouse feels when looking left or right (just talking about looking around not aiming down sight sensitivity)

3. The saved games are completely corrupted, when i clicked on the one that was just at the end of the epilogue, nothing happened. I can enter one that is somehow in the prologue but my actual finished gamefile is not accessible. That also means that i cannot play the encounters again to just mess around with fun weapons meaning i have to compelety replay the entire story to just replay certain chapters or encounters for fun, which was possible for me before the patch

All i can try now is download the old patch that was shipped at launch which was pretty much perfect

You played games without avx2 instructions before, so you'll continue to play without them, don't be a fool.

Yes but they no longer care about you, you already spent money, they will happily ruin it for you if it means others with ancient hardware can purchase it.

Game still crashes to desktop after startup logo's, it worked fine for me right until first patch. This one doesn't solve my problem. I can't play the game at all.

Said the fool.

And what's wrong, dear? A person does not have seven spans in his forehead, he thinks that if you remove these instructions, it will somehow affect his game and processor, rly? xD

[Irek442]

everything is fine.

Did this patch fix the abnormal movements of the character models in a cutscene?

There's pre-rendered video in the cutscenes, at least in some parts of them in order to hide background loading of next gameplay area, if you play at high fps and suddenly watch those 60 fps videos then of course it can appear a bit off but not "abnormal".

Thank you for the second patch. It certainly fixed the mouse controls that the first patch broke, and I am terribly grateful for that. For a whole week I had to switch to playing with a controller, and how much less enjoyable it was. That being said, this is the first time I see a game released with almost no issues (at least on my hardware), then having a patch breaking the game so severely. It took exactly a week to fix what the first patch broke but hey, better late than never. Everything works great again, so I am happy and thanks again.
