Remnant 2 devs solve several player complaints in July 24 patch, including VO issues

Remnant 2 may still be in early access, at least for today, but the devs are already listening to player’s issues, and are even rushing out patches (for those on PC) to solve the problems as quickly as possible.

Today, Gunfire Games did just that again, pushing out a July 24 patch that’s targeted menu performance, bug fixes, and cinematic crashing.

Perhaps most importantly though is the big changes to player voiceovers, which many early Remnant 2 adopters have said is the biggest sticking point with the surprise hit. Voiceovers are usually fun additions that help create an immersive experience for players. But if it’s overdone, and players are on the receiving end of a full-blown novel narration it can ruin their gaming experience, and that’s what has been happening in Remnant 2.

Thankfully, this July 24 patch has toned down the voiceovers. The devs have also fixed some of the other pressing issues, like the cinematic crashes and keys not being awarded, menu UI performance hitches, save’s working incorrectly, going invisible after using a portal, players not receiving the appropriate rewards, and an Epic Games pop-up problem.

While it was a small update, these changes, especially the voiceover changes, should help create a more enjoyable Remnant 2 playing experience.

Here’s the full changelist for anyone that wants to read them.
