Deathloop is an excellent game, but like Arkane’s past titles, it shipped with its fair share of quirks and bugs. Thankfully, Arkane is addressing a long list of them in the game’s second big post-launch patch, which promises to fix a lot of strange NPC behavior and issues with the multiplayer Invasion mechanic, as well as add much-requested field-of-view options on PS5 (they were available on PC previously, but not on console). Check out the full patch notes for Deathloop ver. 1.2, below.
