As promised earlier, Capcom has released a new Dragon's Dogma 2 patch for PC and consoles, and while it does not bring any performance improvements to the game, which still lacks NVIDIA DLSS 3 support, it brings some much-needed gameplay tweaks and fixes.

The April 25th Update, as it is called, mostly improves the game's Pawns, allowing users to zoom in on the faces of the Arisen and Pawns, as well as their general behavior and dialogue. The update also adds several fixes, including fixes for issues in escort quests and fighting monsters in town which results in jail time. Capcom did say it also fixed some crashes and freezes in specific circumstances, as well as other miscellaneous bugs, but no further details were given.



Here are the full release notes.

PlayStation 5 / Xbox Series X|S / Steam
  • Reducing the infection frequency of dragonsplague and adjusting the signs of Pawns infected with dragonsplague to be more noticeable.
  • For example, when infected, glowing eyes will be more noticeable.
  • Adding the option to zoom in on the faces of the Arisen and Pawns in the status screen, shops, etc.
  • Fixing some issues and implementing adjustments related to the mini map.
  • Treasure chests that have already been acquired won't be displayed on the mini map.
  • Adjustments to Pawns' behavior and dialogue.
  • Fixing issues where occasionally the player couldn't high five Pawns.
  • Fixing issues where Pawns wouldn't start guiding after offering to guide.
  • Making Pawns less likely to fall off cliffs.
  • Reducing the frequency of some Pawn dialogue lines.
  • Improving Pawn lines to better match circumstances.
  • Fixing some issues where Pawns stop speaking outside of combat.
  • Fixing some issues where the Main Pawn speaks support Pawn's dialogue.
  • Making Pawns more likely to aid the Arisen if the Arisen commands them to help while being held by enemies.
  • Reducing the frequency of Pawns offering to be hired by the player while in the field.
  • Fixing issues where sometimes escort quests are considered failed when accessing Character Edit or other specific situations.
  • Fixing issues where the player could be jailed when fighting monsters in town.
  • Fixing some crashes and freezes in specific circumstances.
  • Miscellaneous bug fixes.

Still not touching this before they fix performance issues. Waited more than 10 years, I wouldn't mind waiting a little more. I just want the best experience I can get from this game.

Pretty much my strategy for Cyberpunk 2077. I waited 2 full years before touching.

I hate when they leave it as "misc fixes".

Just shows they can't fix the problems with CPU load. The game's not well optimized and probably won't ever be. In five years, though, it'll be great on a handheld, so best to just wait until it's value priced.
