The infamous audio desync during the "We Sing" musical level has been addressed. In v1.2.2, users with high refresh rates experienced a 2-second lag between the music and the visual cues. v1.2.5 corrects the sampling rate lock.
Release Date: February 2024 (v1.2.5 followed shortly after v1.2.2 in late 2023). Primary Focus: Stability, bug fixes, and localisation updates. Unlike Steam or Epic Games Store patches that
While specific "scene release" NFO files (text files included with game piracy releases) usually only contain installation instructions (e.g., "Copy crack," "Install update"), the actual changes to the game code are detailed below.
Before applying updates, it’s crucial to know what changed:
| Version | Key Focus | Release Date (approx) | |---------|-----------|----------------------| | 1.2.2 | Post-launch stability – fixed mesh shader crashes, improved FSR2 frame pacing | January 2024 | | 1.2.3 | NG+ (New Game Plus) preparation, UI bug fixes | February 2024 | | 1.2.4 | The Final Draft expansion support, lighting optimizations | March 2024 | | 1.2.5 | Major DLSS 3.5 improvements, reduced stutter in Watery & Cauldron Lake | April 2024 |
Moving from 1.2.2 to 1.2.5 skips the official incremental updates but is possible via an integrated patch from ElAmigos.
