Sadly, neither this patch nor the previous one (version 2.01, released on December 15th) included any real performance optimizations for the PC version of The Callisto Protocol, which launched in a very disappointing state. We recently learned that the game cost over $160 million, and its updated sales projections aren't nearly as high as publisher Krafton had hoped.
