A small (well, sort of) patch addresses the most annoying issues many experienced after the 1.3 update. We have all the patch notes.
We didn’t experience this ourselves during testing, but many players of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 complained about annoying flickering of objects in the world after the latest DLC update 1.3. In addition, some lines of German voice acting were missing from the add-on.
Both issues and more have now been fixed in hotfix 1.3.1. The developers have also moved a bed so that Heinrich can sleep in it more easily. We’ve summarized the most important changes below, and you can find the complete patch notes at the bottom.
How big is the update? Although the patch notes are very short by Warhorse standards, the hotfix is 32 GB in size.
The most important changes in Hotfix 1.3.1
What’s up with the bed? This concerns your sleeping quarters at Müller Kreyzl in the Trosky region, which you can unlock early in the main quest. The bed has been slightly repositioned so that it is now accessible as intended.
No more flickering: If you were affected by flickering objects, you should install the hotfix immediately. It should fix the problem.
German complete: Previously, some voice lines were missing from the German (and Chinese) voiceovers in the DLC content.
Fewer crashes: After update 1.3, the game could crash when resetting the tutorials (which Kingdom Come 2 automatically offers when you haven’t played for a while). Crash causes have also been fixed on Xbox.
