Patch notes:

Patch 1 – Est. Friday 9/21

We’re starting initial work on improving load times to help people playing on non-SSD hard drives. There is more work to be done but it’s a big focus of ours in the near future
Initial work on optimization and framerate improvements.
Auto-detection of hardware and adjustment of quality settings on initial load of the game. While there is currently auto-detection in the options menu, it wasn’t happening automatically. The game defaults to Ultra settings which is likely causing FPS issues for those without high end hardware.
FOV adjustment slider.
Fixing wide-screen monitor support. This is part one of a two part plan.
First is getting the resolution settings working as intended followed by an art pass on the UI elements in patch 2.
Fixes for a few side quests that weren’t triggering as intended
Fix to puzzle weapons where if a puzzle is solved on the weapon while it’s equipped by a player, it will result in the puzzle reverting it’s state to unsolved. As a workaround now, it can be solved in the inventory perfectly fine.
Optimization to Kaels Rudiment that dropped framerate while in combat
Fix in Magnar’s Tower where a lever can be spammed in the shadow combat room that makes a bell hint unreadable
Fix for a softlock if a tutorial pops up when a player reads a note
Falkentyne’s Fury will no longer persist on the players party team after a combat has ended.
Fix where the Strifespear’s abilities don’t play nicely with the Vanguard skill
Update to the save system that will allow players to delete saves as needed.
Fix for a bug where killing Charn Cultists with Falkentynes Fury, which would result in a soft lock.
Fix for spellpoints not updating correctly on the stat sheet when gear is equipped and unequipped.
Fix where in rare instances, activating a standing stone of gratitude before going into a combat can result in a soft lock
Fix for a duping item issue by replacing a non-stackable trinket with a stackable one.
Fix so MACO compass can’t be spammed outside of combat, allowing for a stacked stun chance.
Fix where pausing the game during a cutscene after killing Yadis can cause the game to enter an unresponsive state.
Fix for the wraith where it shows 3 mana before summoning but actually costs 4 mana.
Other smaller fixes

Continued improvements to load times
Continued work on optimization and framerate. By this patch, we expect to have some solid improvements in place for some areas that have higher than expected hits to your GPU.
