[03-10-2016] PC Patch notes for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Patch build 565.4

[Nixxes_Official]

We have just released another PC patch for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, v1.8 build 565.4_P8. This patch focusses on updating Breach content and features, fixes for a couple of critical issues raised by the community, and several updates for DX12.

This patch will be applied by Steam automatically when you next start the game. If your game does not update, please restart the Steam client.

The following fixes are in this patch

- The patch adds new Breach content and features:

• Avatar customization (possibility to change the appearance of the Ripper in-game)
  
• Overworld Map
  
• New Santeau Corporation (New Maps and Darknet file)
  
• New UI for avatar customization
  
• New items: Premium Ripper Skins (2)
  
• New item: Premium weapon (1)

- Fixed an issue where some players would crash when loading their savegame.
- Fixed an issue where players could get stuck in the side mission: 1011000

DX12 specific changes (*only applicable to the DX12_preview branch)

- Fixed an issue that could cause a DXGI_DEVICE_HUNG error.
- Improved performance stability, this should result in less stuttering.
- Slightly improved loading times.


While we expect this patch to be an improvement for everyone, if you do have trouble with this patch and prefer to stay on older versions, we have made a Beta for build V1.7_551.7 available on Steam that can be used to switch back to previous versions.

We will keep monitoring for feedback and will release further patches as it seems required. We always welcome your feedback!

1.2gb for that?!

Nothing about the character model faces going weird with tesselation enabled? Nothing about the terrible stutter/framepacing in dx11? Nothing about the shadow bugs when very high ambient occlusion is activated? Yeah...update Breach...

[Circurose]

Glad to see Breach Mode content.

[TiberiumCat]

Can you even see your avitar for more than 3 seconds? Damnit Square, you've already got our money!

[DarkRod]

DLC features free or not ?

What are your PC specs? It is quite possible that the Stuttering you have could be something to do with your PC.
If you use an HDD (dont have SSD) and it is almost full could be that your PC is slow in getting the required info that game is requesting. Also if you do not have an SSD then Defragging your HDD could help a lot. A fragmented HDD means that files are not all in the same drawer. So again it takes your PC longer to locate them.
If these things are the cause the game dev would not be able to help.

Was hoping this patch would fix a bug for me where I cannot get the heist mission. I was able to, then realised that I went too far along the bomb-maker mission, so I went back to an older save, but now I am not given the mission to meet Janus after hacking into the NSN.

8gb vram gpu, 16gb ram, ssd. Stuttering is on the game's end. A lot of people have it.

Hey devs, you DO understand people are not playing Breach?

[SenMithrarin85]

Also, could the devs stop bloating the filesize? It wants 56gb now as opposed to 46 when it launched. Not everyone has 2tb+ hdds

^This.

[GoodDay2Play]

а где сама игра? Я за 23 часа прошёл что-то, а что прошёл так и не понял, особенно концовку, которая намекает на то, что MD - не игра, а какой-то кусок игры вырванный из целой игры, так где же сама игра?

[Crusta Pipocondria]

Why fixing stuttering for DX12 only? What about DX11? I don't see the logic here. I'm still on windows 7 and i'm not installing windows 10 because if i do so, i will lose all my game progress because of Denuovo.

[Nitrowildal]

Good job taking the time to work through the dx12 issues that face the gaming world. Many other developers are not pushing as hard to finally put this feature to use in current games. Thanks for excellent content as well. The amount of people complaining is extremly small compared to the millions you never hear from. Because they are too busy having fun playing your game. Cheers.......

As much as I hate windows 10, save game management is nothing to do with denuvo. I have tested the game on 7 and 10 with the same save and it restored fine.

Been waiting to be able to play this game smoothly, Hopefully less stuttering means now I won't drop to sub 10 fps when moving into a different area in Prague.
