New Update for Kingdom Come: Deliverance
Kingdom Come: Deliverance developer, Warhorse Studios, have recently released a new update, resolving a slew of bugs, alongside a couple of new additions.
Deliverance released last month, and has since received a good amount of praise for its character development and ambitious world. The unfortunate part for Warhorse Studios however, has been the glitches experienced by many.
They're working to get that right though, with regular updates resolving many customer complaints. In version 1.3.1, saving has been improved to reduce corruption; improved lockpicking; and various performance enhancements, particularly on PC. New CPU load balancing means it uses your available cores to better effect, and there are new anti-aliasing to pick from. There's a new option to save and exit too.
The full patch list is below for your perusal:
- The game now has Save and Exit feature.
- Saving is much more robust and saves won't get corrupted even if the game crashes while saving.
- Performance improved
- LoD switching tweaked, reducing pop-in and improving texture streaming.
- Stuttering in some areas reduced.
- Slightly smoother framerate on Vsync 30. (Consoles and some PCs)
- Improved lockpicking
- New interface design makes it much easier to hold the sweet spot while turning the lock.
- Easy and Very Easy trunks are now easier to lockpick when playing with controller. (Mouse difficulty unchanged)
- Improved pickpocketing

- The last quest with Lord Capon is now visible on the map when he is ready to assign it to you.

- Your horse shouldn't get stuck when jumping fences.
- Horse items are cleaned along with player items in bathhouses.
- You can see when looking at a bed whether it will save your game.

- Guards now react to combat more aggressively.

Huzzah! The promised patch does seem bountiful - and at least they didn't need an unofficial patch like some open world games...
