It has been a month since Vampyr launched, and one of the issues we noted with the game in our review was the existence of quite a few bugs. Now, the very first patch for the game has been released, which fixes quite a few bugs and also adds some new minor features across all platforms.
Along with the bug fixes and features, the patch notes also lists a method to fix a crashing issue that some players have experienced on the PC. The update include fixes which allow players to switch targets using the mouse wheel, and also allows players to now be able to walk using either a held input or a toggled input. Hopefully, this update will address a lot of the major issues that were present in the game at the time of its release.
