UPDATE:
While the release notes state that this patch fixes distorted audio issues, it actually introduced them to us. In order to resolve this issue, we had to lower our Speaker Audio quality to 24bit and 44100Hz. By doing this, the in-game distorted issues were fixed. We were able to replicate this numerous times, so yeah: this is an issue that was introduced with this new patch.

performance patch? when?
Does it remove the idiotic loot boxes and microtransactions?
No?
Well then.
i don’t give a damn, they already ruined this game design wise
the moment you introduce weapons and followers in tidy loot boxes
you basically f**ked the whole ecosystem of the game
Terrible grinding… so much it made me stop playing…
I hope they don’t get away with this idea. Making the game not fun to play unless you pay extra for loot boxes but the cynical side of me says that they will and we will see more of this nonsense in future games.
I still don’t get why people would rather pay for microtransactions to lessen the grinding than to use a trainer instead. If they are going to cheat anyway then why not?
I finished the game with no need for grinding. Dont know where people got that ideia that you need to grind to complete the damn game. I dont like the microtransactions either, but saying that this game has an huge amount of grind is a lie.
Use cheat engine you butthurt twats if in such need of loot boxes, game braking, lots of grind.. omg go and play acc twats
