007 First Light promises boosted performance on all platforms
Expect lower memory use and boosted overall performance with 007 First Light’s newest PC update
IO Interactive has released game update 1.0.4 for 007 First Light, promising gamers “performance optimisations” and a batch of fixes and quality-of-life improvements.
One of this update’s main improvements is the game’s memory optimisations. These changes have been made to boost First Light’s overall PC performance, and to reduce the risk of “out-of-memory” crashes. Changes have also been made to reduce the size of game updates on the Microsoft Store, which were previously much later than updates for the game on other platforms.
Users of DLSS will be glad to know that a bug has been addressed that caused incorrect upscaling settings to be used. This bug impacted the visuals and performance of 007 First Light. Sadly, no changes have been made to the game’s FSR implimentation, which means that FSR 4 remains unavailable to AMD GPU users.
Full release notes for update 1.0.4 are available below.
