Nioh 2 – The Complete Edition PC Patch Improves Frame Rate Performance

The first major patch for Nioh 2 – The Complete Edition on PC has rolled out and contains a number of welcome fixes. Along with providing players the option to remap the confirmation button, it also fixes some issues related to lock-on and mouse sensitivity. An issue that caused frame rate drops to occur when “Effects” was set to “High” has also been alleviated.

Of course, the frame rate issue hasn’t been completely fixed by Team Ninja continues to investigate its cause. One issue that prevented the selection of some resolutions and thus caused the game screen to be cut off has also been fixed. Check out the full update notes below.

Nioh 2 – The Complete Edition launched last week for PS4 and PC while The Nioh Collection arrived on PS5. Though the overall game has been praised, PC players reported a number of issues related to performance. One remaining issue involves the lack of keyboard button prompts when playing with mouse and keyboard – this will be addressed in a later patch so stay tuned.
