The new patch

[Malvious Hellsing]

How's the new patch today? Is it fine for some? Bad for others?

[marablackar]

fine for me. I can now even play the game with ray tracing on my rtx2070 :D

RT shadows are utterly buggy. Ambient occlusion seems to be 50/50 (if reports are to be trusted)
Textures are also now leaking all over - you can be in the same room just standing and see them changing from their potato versions to the normal ones and back several times.
Some folks now experience way more crashes and some can't even boot up the game. It's nothing extraordinary, tbh - I was expecting things to break.

I just wish there was a way to prevent the necessity of updating. I set all my games to manual updates because I know it almost never works from the first "try" of the devs to fix issues. But this time it didn't allow me to launch unless I updated, so.. yeah. It's bad.

Even after several patches, For me atm loading in hogsmeade, I get frame drops from just spinning the camera for things to load. Which as been an issue since I brought it. So I'm not sure what I'm suppose to do to fix it.

Its amazing for me now, perma 60fps slight drop every now and then when it loads but other than that smooth as hell. I even turned some settings up.
And they fixed that Biscuit quest :D

My game looks so bad now, it was perfect before this patch.

Can't even play, just get a black screen after the first seizure warning, right before it loads shaders.

Turned ray tracing off to see any changes, I can reach 90 fps but running out or around hogsmeade still causes frame drops cause it's loading stuff in which implies they haven't fixed the rendering issue yet.

i still can only play with RT when out in the open, not when in Hogsmeade even with a 4080, because it just stutters like hell, even with framegen...
when framegen is off i get like 30-45 fps, with the occasional drop below 30...

Is there a way to undo the patch?
Srsly the performance is ass after installing the patch and it made ♥♥♥♥♥♥ performance to almost unplayable...

[Malvious Hellsing]

Not currently no.

Same here, Its just a black screen. So disappointing!

I didn't notice any better performance, but they finally fixed the Sky Scythe broom.
Previously there was one thick beam coming out at the end of the broom.

Now there are 2 beams:

Weirdly they only show up at night.

wont download/install properly for me. just keeps saying missing files and an error, restarted pc and steam numerous times. verified game files, deleted completely, nothing works.

glad i completed it and got the collectors edition achievement last night

I never had any trouble with the previous one and since I patched the game I got 2 game crash during a random quest... Like just the game shutting down for no reason...

literally unplayable. the screen goes black after epilepsy warning with music playing and nothing else happens. Game has been working great since launch. why they opted to ♥♥♥♥ with it like this is just bizarre.
