Total War: Rome 2’s first patch went live to fix your issues

Following up with Wednesday’s Total War: Rome II promise, Creative Assembly has released a patch today for their loving fans. Those plagued with these specific issues were only 2% of the total players but Zeus knows that if you were one of them that you want to get it fixed. Mainly this patch fixes include adjustments to performance for certain set-ups that will improve frame rates and DX10 issues.

If you were fortunate to not fall into that small percentile, this patch also has general fixes for everyone. Curious what those details entail? Check out the official list below taken from their wiki.

• Higher average frame rates with out-of-the-box settings (more conservative settings)
• Fix for DirectX 10.0 Lighting issue reported – environment map wasn't being created leading to black reflections.

• Fixed defender being able to create encampments when involved in a combined battle.
• Added some localisation fixes to audio packs in French, Russian, Italian, German and Spanish.
• Fixed lock up in Multiplayer Campaign battles when a desynchronisation occurs. Players are now notified of the desynchronisation, and the battle ends.

• Fixed rare post battle lockup in Campaign modes.
