Borderlands 4 update aims to "improve stability for a wide range of PCs", but comes without proper patch notes

Borderlands 4 developers Gearbox have chucked more wrenches at the shooter's PC performance over the weekend, following issues that've landed it mixed Steam review fortunes since launch last week. However, if you're looking for patch notes, you're gonna be a bit disappointed.
