Ubisoft has released the highly anticipated patch 1.5 for The Division to everyone. Unfortunately, and while this patch features pretty much everything that was in the PTS version, it does not come with the DX12 renderer. Still, this update packs all the improvements that were featured in it.

According to the release notes, this patch adds a World Tier 5 bracket, brings various weapon and skill balance changes, and adds a new UI rendering setting that will reduce game latency at the cost of framerate.

This patch also addresses a number of PC specific issues (like a bug where the World Bracket UI was not affected by the HUD eye focus for the Tobii Eye Tracke and a bug where the player would not be able to shoot for several seconds after having thrown a skill or a grenade).

This patch also fixes various gameplay issues that have been reported by the game’s community, such as a bug where the player’s health bar would overlap the Gear Score value while the Stash is open and a bug where some vendors in the Base of Operations were not displayed on the megamap or the minimap.
