The second DLC for Remnant: From The Ashes, Subject 2923, was released a week ago, and fans have been enjoying it. However, the DLC also brought several unwanted issues into the game, like a drop in performance and annoying bugs. Developer Gunfire Games recently released a hotfix update to address these issues.
The hotfix 249476 update improved the overall performance of Remnant, especially during the final boss fight of the Subject 2923 DLC. The update also made a few more changes to the final boss. From now on, the fusion rifle will be given only during the first attempt of the boss fight, the size and timing of some boss attacks have been adjusted and projectiles will deal the correct amount of damage.
As mentioned above, the update squashed several annoying bugs, the complete list of changes can be read below or from the official site.
