Arkane Studios has just released the third major update for Dishonored 2. According to the release notes, this update comes with various UI optimizations, adds a a « Full » option for the « Mana Replenish » setting and adds an option to hide the quick select dock.

In addition, this update fixes a bug where AMD 400 Series Crossfire enabled GPUs will have lower auto graphics presets than the single card GPU, and fixes a PC bug where the player will lose in-game sound/audio after alt-tabbing too quickly.

Unfortunately, the release notes do not include any performance improvements, so it’s safe to say that this new version of Dishonored 2 runs similar to its previous one.

This update will be auto-downloaded from Steam, and you can read its complete changelog below.
