Kingdom Come: Deliverance should run much better after today’s patch.
At launch, Kingdom Come: Deliverance was a bit of a technical mess. Like Skyrim, this sprawling RPG remembers every item dropped, every NPC killed, and every interaction you’ve had.
Obviously, that fills up the memory and results in performance issues after a while. The latest patch does a few things to alleviate that stress on the system, such as removing the halberds guards drop upon death from the game.
On top of the bug fixes – of which there are well over 200 – there are also a few new features, including new lore books, a way to access lost loot, and the chance to wash away your sins in churches. There’s also a video about the patch and the future of the game.
