Arkane Studios has finally addressed the bugs in "Dishonored 2." According to DSOGaming, the studio sought help from gamers and fans of the game series. The developers addressed the issues that were listed on the game's fanbase.

The studio fixed the bugs that generally improve players' gaming experience. One of the bugs that was removed regulated the FPS Limiter to 30. Gamers will find that the beta update has removed that bug once and for all. Another bug that was fixed was the one that caused Emily to hang in mid-air in a scene in the throne room. In addition, Arkane Studios also removed the bug which altered the fog settings if the game is restarted.

Although the developers fixed a number of issues, they have not upgraded all of the game versions. Not all gamers will be able to enjoy the latest update since it still doesn't come with performance upgrades for the PC version. Arkane Studios did, however, apply general fixes that had to do with crashes, saving, localization, rendering, audio, collision, and UI.

The sequel to the 2012 title "Dishonored" was developed by Arkane Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. "Dishonored 2" launched on Nov. 11 last year on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles.

The new game mode that was added is called Custom Difficulties. According to Bethesda, this will "let you fiddle with everything from how quickly Sleep Darts take effect to how many active enemies are likely to attack you at once."

Based on the update's changelog, it adds a new mode to the stealth video game. This new mode is called Custom Difficulties, and Arkane has yet to reveal its specifics. Players would also be glad to know that Mission Restart and Mission Select options have been made available to them from the pause menu and result screen.

The latest "Dishonored 2" update can be accessed through the Steam library, by accessing Properties and then the Beta tab. To download the latest patch, gamers need to click on the beta patch option from the drop-down menu. Gamers need to have at least 1.2 GB of free space to launch the update.
