Attention Officers,
Welcome to Patch 1 changelog for the Home Invasion Release! Included is an introduction to the recent changes today and our next steps, with the Patch 1 changelog notes listed further below:
Following the launch of our first DLC, we have taken in the great amount of feedback provided by our community and are working to rectify as many of the most pressing issues as we can. In two patches we will address two main areas of concern along with general bugfixing and improvements: the first being performance, and the second being the lack of availability of DLC1 maps in Commander Mode.
Here in Patch 1, we are focusing on performance as the primary priority. Among the fixes, FSR3 will work as intended, resolution scaling is fixed, texture streaming issues are resolved on the new maps, and improvements have been made to several specific performance areas. More changes are of course elaborated in the changelog further below.
Patch 2 meanwhile will look to address the limited availability of the DLC 1 maps. Currently the DLC 1 Home Invasion maps are available in Multiplayer and Practice mode. In Patch 2 will be bringing those same maps into Commander Mode.
For some background context on the situation with Commander Mode, we initially intended for the upcoming DLCs to be part of their own cohesive experience in a separate segment of Commander Mode. However, with the release of Home Invasion, our players have made it clear that this approach restricted the experience of Commander Mode in its current state.
There will of course be a dedicated changelog for Patch 2 for when it releases, but without further ado, here's this Patch 1 changelog:
