Launched in October, Dishonored 2 impressed critics and gamers alike with its varied combat approaches, beautiful landscaping and overall refinements to the system introduced in the 2012 original.
But with the PC version coming across as a little rushed at first, Bethesda have been hard at work trying to set things straight. They've been issuing multiple patches since launch to help the game regain its warranted glory, and we're going to keep tabs on them here.
Dishonored - Update 1.3
Even Bethesda has acknowledged the driver issues with Nvidia's 375.70 and 375.86 releases, so they're suggesting everyone moves up to the 375.95 patch issued a few days ago. Other than that, Dishonored's 1.3 update brings stability and performance updates and further support for multi-monitor setups. Here's the lot;
