The Immortals of Aveum update #2 appears to resolve a lot of the game's major bugs and glitches that have blocked players' progress in the game, which means players should download the latest patch and enjoy the better performance the game has to offer.

In an update that was rolled out on all platforms, Immortals of Aveum received fixes that resolved a lot of issues across the board, including game-breaking bugs, achievement bugs, as well as some performance issues. However, some players still report old issues that haven't been resolved, like difficulty-related achievements not being awarded correctly, or a couple of performance drops in key moments in the game. Even worse, players reported major graphical issues after the update, with players reporting blurriness and jittering, with changing the graphics settings not helping one bit. This is just our uneducated guess, but something tells me that this graphics issue might be unintentionally caused by the team's graphics optimization for the Xbox Series S.

In any case, it looks like the game is still far from completely fixed. Hence, it seems that the game will have to continue being patched by Ascendant Studios before fans can completely rely on the game running at tip-top shape. This should remind players to continue reporting bugs that they find, as Ascendant Studios appear to be very active in addressing player concerns about the game through these patches.

As this new patch and Baldur's Gate 3's long patch notes show, games will still have problems at release, so it seems, even if a title went gold prior to release. When the game was released on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X, it was met with mild reviews, far from our expectations of it being a GOTY candidate for 2023.
