What changed in Hotfix 1.0.5?
Hotfix 1.0.5 is a small PC-focused update. Its only listed change is an improvement to the shader compilation pipeline, aimed at the stuttering some players saw after launch.
Shader compilation
The update improves the shader compilation pipeline used by the game.
Stuttering
Rebel Wolves says the change can fix stuttering for some PC players.
No gameplay changes listed
The official change list contains no quest, combat, save, controller or item adjustments for this hotfix.
What should PC players check after the update?
- Restart the game after the update so the revised shader pipeline can run from a clean launch.
- If stuttering continues, compare Full Screen with Windowed or Borderless mode; the earlier 1.0.2 announcement listed Full Screen as a workaround for some performance problems.
- Keep graphics settings and driver changes separate when testing, so a before-and-after comparison remains clear.
