The Blood of Dawnwalker-oppdatering 1.1 er ute med over 1100 rettelser

Update 1.1 for The Blood of Dawnwalker is live on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC, weighing around 13GB and carrying more than 1,100 fixes. The headline additions are the Draught of Mind Rebirth respec, the ability to pet cats and dogs, a renamed Forgiving difficulty with a new assisted Story mode under it, and expanded subtitles, with the full patch notes running past 4,000 words. Absent from September’s preview were merchant buyback, controller deadzone settings, rebalanced upgrade costs and a nerf to the cathedral guard who could one-shot Coen below level 30. Most of the build goes to progression blockers, including the sealed doors in A Hero’s End and Anca failing to spawn in Stronger Than Achilles, though the game can still crash on an AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT when frame generation is switched on.

Rebel Wolves is patching from a strong position, since the debut RPG sold 1 million copies within two days of its 3 September launch and sits around 83 on Metacritic. PC was the rougher half, where Steam positive reviews on release sat at 75 percent, with frame drops and 30 FPS cutscenes taking most of the complaints. The camera and targeting work reads as an answer to that, while the controversial time mechanic giving Coen 30 days and nights goes untouched, and I would keep that clock where it is, because a deadline is what makes any choice here cost something. Narrative director Jakub Szamalek is already hiring a lead writer for the next Dawnwalker game.
