A brand new update for Dishonored 2 has been released on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC- but regardless of which platform you own the game on, you will find this update does the same thing: it fixes a whole lot of (often platform specific) bugs the game suffered from.
The full patch notes are extensive, and you can check them out for yourself below- but the long and short of it is, this should make the game infinitely more playable (although it had already gotten pretty stable of late).
