For those playing with a PlayStation 5 DualSense controller via USB (to get the adaptive trigger resistance for the Leviathan Axe), there was a nasty bug: the controller’s built-in speaker would occasionally fail to play Mimir’s head’s stories or the sound of the compass.

The performance differences introduced by Build 8008283 are outlined below: Feature / Metric Launch Day Build (Pre-Patch) Updated Build 8008283 Impact Level Degradation after 2+ hours Stable over extended play HDR Luminance Crushed blacks / inaccurate gamma Calibrated tone mapping Frame Time Stability Frequent micro-stutters Flattened frame-time graph Steam Deck Status Unverified / Occasional CTD SteamOS Verified Steam Deck and SteamOS Verification

Build 8008283 was the emergency response. Its development spanned roughly 18 days between gold master approval and global launch day.

The positive reception of the patch was evident in online forums and social media, where players praised the game's updated performance and fixes. The patch helped to foster a sense of community and shared experience among players, who could now enjoy the game without the frustrations of technical issues.
