Руководители Xbox и Obsidian Entertainment довольны размером аудитории Avowed. Об этом в беседе с изданием Eurogamer рассказала создательница ролевой игры Кэрри Патель. Премьера состоялась на Xbox Series X|S и ПК в феврале.

• Adjusted character settings so that unkillable characters will now respawn if they mysteriously die, preventing blocked quest progression.

• Loot piles will no longer be placed in unexpected locations when created while the player is far away. Previously affected saved games will now have the loot pile back where the owning character died.
  
• Players who killed Kostya and destroyed Solace Keep will no longer experience a dropped conversation when speaking with the leaders of the Living Lands during The Siege of Paradis. (Players with affected saves can now simply walk in and out of the meeting space to retrigger the conversation.)
  
• Bounty Masters in Dawnshore, Shatterscarp, and Galawain’s Tusks now correctly allow players to turn in bounties, even if they have acquired more trophy items than expected.
  
• Vemas now allows players to turn in Debt of Blood, even if they had already spoken to him upon returning.
  
• The player will no longer become stuck with no objectives active during An Untimely End.
  
• Fixed an issue where the player could become stuck in the environment near Dehengen's Cottage.
  
• Enemy loot will no longer disappear if the player killed Ygwulf and the assassins in the Cistern, saved their game, and then reloaded that save.
  
• Ambassador Hylgard can no longer die from drowning in The Strangleroot while following the player, which was preventing him from appearing at the embassy in Paradis.
  
• The player will no longer be blocked from finishing Ancient Soil if Fior mes Iverno becomes inaccessible.

• Godless chests and sarcophagi now have currency in their loot lists.
  
• Upgrade materials (metal, wood, leather) are now more consistently available across stores in each region.
  
• Upgrade materials now properly refresh when store stock updates.
  
• Autosave frequency has been changed from 5 minutes to 10 minutes by default. (This can still be adjusted in player settings.)
  
• Autosave slots increased from 3 to 5.
  
• The ability Bleeding Cuts now applies Bleed Accumulation more reliably.

• Added new settings for controller users to adjust gamepad look acceleration strength and ramp-up time.
  
• Corrected typos in the Encumbrance tutorial and on the Compiling Shaders screen (now correctly states “a few minutes” instead of “a few moments”).

• Launching Avowed with DirectX 11 is now disabled, as the game does not support it.
  
  • Some players have been using a DirectX 11 launch parameter as a workaround for various crashes, performance problems, or compatibility concerns. However, this can introduce additional problems that we cannot troubleshoot or resolve, including unexpected visual or performance issues.
    
  • If you're encountering startup crashes, we recommend updating your drivers, verifying your game files, or reaching out to our support team at support.obsidian.net for assistance.
