The latest patch also introduces a variety of fixes to crashes and memory leaks that some players have been suffering from. The update also disables mouse smoothing and mouse acceleration to help reduce input lag for PC users.
It also addresses many other issues with the game's main mission and side missions. A lot of the fixes are considered spoilers as they mention parts of the story. But one example was that a dead monster was despawning too fast, which prevented players from recovering what they needed, according to PCGamer.
