Last week, Private Division and Virtuos Games released a brand new update for The Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice Edition. According to the release notes, Update 1.3 aims to reduce both shader compilation and traversal stutters.
Going into more details, Patch 1.3 brings PSO cache improvements to fix hitching issues on PC. Moreover, it updates environment asset to reduce stutter in Roseway, and packs improvements to prevent hitching across all platforms.
Update 1.3 also comes with some PC-specific fixes. For instance, it rebalances the SSGI settings on PC. It also fixes the ghosting issues caused by FSR. Additionally, it resolves the wrong inventory tooltip when playing on PC with a gamepad.

One day someone will bother to port those “improvements” to the base game version and nothing of value will be lost.
The Spacer’s Choice irony was lost on this one.
I’m out of the loop on this one :have they launched another edition of the game that they maintain and improve, but they subsequently burried the launch edition?
no they have a edition with supposedly better graphics but it looks worse and runs like utter crap.
What do you mean port them to base game? Just play this version if it’s now actually fixed.
Virtuos can’t make games worth a damn but still they get hired to make MGS 3 remake.
As long as performance gets fixed, it will then become the definitive edition of the game.
thanks to this patch i finish the game and it was a great action rpg i like it
How well does it run now? Are all stutters gone?
Nice, this is good to hear

Yes yes, we know you don’t like the gays and such, little man.
this is who wrote the story by the way, they look exactly like that.
Is it unrealistic though? People have become more and more crazy with the colored hair and “it makes me look ugly but I still say I’m beautiful” getups in real life, so not surprising a futuristic world would be filled with such characters.
it is unrealistic if you dont live in california
this fix anything? or its just a fix that doesnt fix the game like most of then?
