Ascendant Studios has released Update #2 for Immortals of Aveum, and shared its complete changelog/patch notes. According to the team, this second update brings a number of performance optimizations.
Going into more details, this new patch improves various instances of FPS drops and stuttering throughout the game. It also addresses areas where the game would occasionally hitch or freeze momentarily. Moreover, it fixes multiple instances of occasional crashes and progression blockers, as well as an issue where game was overwriting save slots when the user spawned at a specific location.
Moreover, Patch #2 for Immortals of Aveum adds three graphics settings: Mesh Pool Quality, Shadow Rendering Pool Size, Render Target Pool Size. It also fixes on low and min spec PCs where some settings would be set to ultra by default, causing performance problems.
Before closing, some PC gamers reported that this patch broke compatibility with DLSS. According to those reports, the game now looks really blurry, and nowhere close to what it looked pre-patch. I haven’t tested the patch yet so I don’t know whether those claims are valid or not.
As always, Steam will download the Immortals of Aveum Update #2 the next time you launch its client. Below you can also find its complete changelog.
