This update also aims to tackle performance-related problems. A notable mention is the recommendation for players using the “Nahemic” audio driver, often bundled with MSI software, to disable it temporarily if they’re experiencing startup issues or game freezes. It’s crucial advice that could save users considerable frustration in their gameplay sessions.
The positive changes should lead to more fluid interactions within the game world and potentially reduce frustrating encounters due to glitches or mechanics not functioning as intended. However, some players may find certain alterations, like the balancing adjustments made to bosses, impact their play style or strategies significantly.
