Previously, Warhorse Studios unveiled the initial downloadable content for Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, along with an update introducing horse racing. However, this release also triggered several problems, which are now being resolved through today’s KCD2 update, referred to as a “hotfix”.

Gamers who enjoy console versions of games might recognize this as “Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Update 1.031,” but the developers have labeled it as Hotfix 1.3.1. This update is designed to tackle quest problems and other related issues.

Features

Environment

Adjusted the placement of the player’s bed at Kreyzl’s mill, ensuring it is now accessible for the player.

Save/Load

In the game, when you reach the maximum number of manual saves and try to create a new one, it will now replace the chosen save slot by the player, rather than erasing the oldest saved game manually.

Tutorials

– Fixed a crash that sometimes occurred after resetting the tutorials.

UI

– Edited formatting for the prompt about opening the EULA.

Visuals

– Fixed frequent flickering issues.

Platform-specific

– Xbox – Fixed a crash that occurred when resuming the game after installing the DLC.

– GOG and Steam – Fixed the Lion’s Crest not being listed in the DLC menu section.

Quests

Brushes with Death (General)

Despite no longer being relevant, Voyta continues to hint at intriguing tasks ahead upon reaching Kuttenberg, which he no longer should.

– Included missing German and Czech voiceover lines.

– Revised several German and Chinese translations.

A Sketchy Situation

As a gamer, I tweaked the code to ensure that shadows cast by nearby foliage don’t interfere with the opening scene during specific weather scenarios.

Horses for Courses

– Fixed the final reward perks being mistakenly swapped.

Oratores

If a player chooses to discuss exploring the underbelly with Samuel, located outside Ruthard Manor, then that manor will be off-limits for them.

The King’s Gambit

– Fixed the player sometimes becoming stuck after bowing to Sigismund.

Unveiling

– Fixed Voyta remaining in his working clothes before the final cutscene.

– Fixed Chrudosh’s reaction to the player killing the bandits.

Portrait in Red

As a fan, I managed to keep Burkhard from instantly succumbing upon losing consciousness, and simultaneously prevented him from fainting.

If you haven’t tried out the “Brushes With Death” expansion yet, it could be a good idea to give it a go. Check out our review to find out why it’s definitely worth the additional cost.
