Greetings Magnus!
Today we’re thrilled to announce that AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 3 (FSR 3) launches in Immortals of Aveum™ on PC as part of Patch 1.0.5.0! Now all Immortals PC players can take advantage of Frame Generation and FSR 3’s improvements in performance and image fidelity.
FSR 3 uses a combination of super resolution temporal upscaling technology and frame generation to deliver massive framerates in supported games. The key enhancement over FSR 2 is the addition of frame generation. This technology uses an enhanced version of AMD Fluid Motion Frames (AFMF) optical flow technology and temporal game data such as motion vectors to generate additional high-quality frames for a higher framerate.
For more information on this exciting new addition, check out this blog over at AMD. Console players, hang tight! We’re working closely with AMD to implement FSR 3 for console and will share more in the future.
FSR 3 is not the only thing we’ve been working on. See the full patch notes for today’s update here. Keep reading to learn about all the fixes and improvements already live in Immortals of Aveum, as well as what we’ve got in the works for the future.
Patch Updates Recap
While you slay away and build up that Immolate charge, we’re listening to your feedback on Immortals of Aveum and are continuously working to bring as many improvements to your gaming experience as possible. Patch 1.0.5.0 is just a portion of the updates already released for PC and console alike, including key fixes for DLSS, PC mouse sensitivity, console brightness, and overall performance improvements.
We’ve worked diligently to improve DLSS implementation and resolve occurrences of blurriness or ghosting. PC mouse sensitivity has been expanded so players can set the slider from 1 all the way down to 0.02, so you can lower the sensitivity even further. We’ve also added quality of life improvements, like making dialogue options clickable using the mouse.
On console, we added a Gamma Correction Slider so you can now adjust brightness to your desired levels. The underlying issue causing some console players’ experiences to be too bright or dark has also been resolved.
We’ve also been hard at work tackling various improvements to help further enhance your gameplay experience. This includes text and UI updates, such as adding text to display unspent Ascension points, refining loot spawn timing, level map and objective marker adjustments, as well as investigating and resolving stuttering occurrences and the cause of rare crashes, and further memory optimizations.
For the more advantageous players, we’ve resolved various combat encounter exploits, and prevented spells from being cast during cinematics. Sorry! (Kind of.)
Of course there are always a few odds and ends to iron out, like object placement quirks, tuning spell cooldown and animations, and investigating the cause of untimely player deaths or unexpected respawn results. Even the occasional floating soup (Kaleb’s cooking remains questionable). Check out the highlights from recent patches below!

Community Feedback & What we’re working on
A HUGE thank you to everyone who has taken the time to share their feedback, support, requests, and questions about Immortals of Aveum. We hear you, battlemages! We’re listening, we’re taking notes, and we are working hard to get everything we can into the game.
Below are some of the hot topics we’ve heard from players like you, and want to take a moment to share an update about what our team is working on. Unfortunately we can’t guarantee everything will make it into the game. As with any project, there are time, resource, and technology limitations, but if a request can’t make it into Immortals of Aveum, it’s still valuable feedback we’ll take with us for future projects.
- New Game+ – We want this as much as you do! We’re exploring how to make this happen and what it could mean for Jak’s story.
- HDR – This requires an improvement to UE5 and we’re actively looking into it and will share more details as we’re able.
- Trophies and Achievements – We’re investigating why certain trophies and achievements aren’t awarded as expected, and will be rolling out fixes as they’re resolved.
- Adaptive Triggers – Unfortunately this is not a feature that will make it into this game, but we hope to include it in future titles.
- Skippable Cutscenes – We hear you and we’re looking into solutions to let players skip most, if not all cutscenes. However, this is a particularly in-depth endeavor that will take time and we can’t promise it’ll happen at this time.
- Higher Difficulty Mode – We’re charging up our sigils and digging into various ways we could beef up the challenges for a new difficulty mode. We’ll let you know if we make it through to the other side.
- Unreal Engine 5.2 – We’re excited to dive into everything UE 5.2 has to offer! We’re looking into how upgrading the game to UE 5.2 could bring further PC optimizations, as well as overall game performance and visual fidelity improvements. Catch our team at Unreal Fest next week to find out more!
- A few other features we’re exploring include a FOV slider for consoles and Aim Assist for consoles and PC.
