Seriously, guys- you are leaking an unreleased update for an unreleased game. Has leak culture gone too far?
The preload for The Division was made available today, and with it, for some reason, the notes for the first 1.1 Update have been leaked on Reddit. The first update appears to be pretty extensive- it fixes multi GPU performance, fixes global illumination, and on the whole seems hefty enough that it will probably end up being a day one patch.
