Deadly Premonition 2’s latest patch, 1.0.3, looks to have addressed the more egregious issues plaguing the sequel’s framerate, especially when players are taking their characters outdoors.
“Holy sh-t the frame rate outdoors is night and day,” said a Reddit thread which publicised that patch 1.0.3 is now available (thanks, MyNintendoNews).
I still get micro stutters outside but the frame rate itself is so much better.
Deadly Premonition 2 received its first (and very much-needed) post-launch patch on Switch at the end of July, taking an initial pass at improving the game’s abysmal frame rate, while also making a range of tweaks designed to remedy its heavily criticised handling of a transgender character.
