The Lords of the Fallen developers continue to make improvements to the game, with the latest update targeting performance issues.
Hexworks’ dark fantasy action-RPG launched last week to a "mixed" user review rating of 57% on Steam. Most of the complaints revolve around performance issues, with crashes chief among them.
Patch v.1.1.203 makes "substantial performance improvements", Hexworks and publisher CI Games said in a post on the Lords of the Fallen Steam page. "This is aimed at freeing up VRAM to provide additional headroom for GPUs that are operating at the limit of their capabilities. This process is taking some time because we are committed to ensuring that you do not lose any quality."
Here are the Lords of the Fallen 1.1.203 patch notes in full:

In IGN’s Lords of the Fallen review, we said, “Lords of the Fallen is a great soulslike, and its killer new idea of swapping between two versions of the world to solve puzzles and slay enemies is an excellent twist to set it apart from the pack. That concept is unfortunately hamstrung by numerous, highly annoying technical issues and weak boss fights, but awesome explorable areas and fantastic buildcrafting more than make up for those shortcomings.”
