Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2’s first post-launch patch is here

A little over two weeks after the game’s February 4 release date, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 — Warhorse Studios’ long-awaited sequel to the original 2018 medieval open-world RPG — has gotten its first post-launch update with Hotfix 1.1.2. The patch is available to download now on all of KCD2’s platforms, including Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC (Steam, the Epic Games Store and GOG), and PS5.

The foreword to the patch notes state that the update brings “key stability improvements, quest fixes, and platform-specific adjustments” and “fine-tunes your medieval adventure,” but honestly, this hotfix is pretty anemic. There are only 11 specified bugfixes in total, and aside from the ones that address crashes, only two of them resolve serious issues that players have experienced with quests and technical performance.

I hardly ran into any bugs at all during the playthrough of KCD2 I completed for my review, but other folks adventuring through medieval Bohemia haven’t been so lucky (though the game is pretty well-polished overall). On PS5, there have been widespread reports of constant audio stuttering, and both PS5 and Xbox players have made note of major visual glitches like flickering textures in the sky, weather effects rapidly disappearing and reappearing, and NPC eyes and teeth glowing, among others.

These issues, along with numerous other bugs that impede or prevent progress in various quests throughout Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, sadly haven’t been resolved with this update (make sure you check the section below for a full breakdown of what was fixed). If you’ve encountered one of these in your playthrough, you’ll have to wait until future patches come out for a fix.
