Dragon’s Dogma 2 is a beautiful title that may go down as one of the best looking games of the year. Capcom’s open-world epic features some outstanding lighting technology, with detailed ray-traced global illumination (RTGI) giving the title a very refined appearance. Despite this technical achievement, the game shipped with substantial performance and visual faults, with broken image reconstruction on Xbox Series machines and frame-rate issues in dense city areas, in addition to other issues.<\/p>\n

That was true both for the game’s launch version as well as its second patch, which we covered in a video shortly after launch. Just last week, Capcom debuted a new patch, simply called patch seven, which promises frame-rate uplifts and new visual toggles. Does this update cure Dragon’s Dogma’s ailments, or does it still suffer from key technical flaws? <\/p>\n

Let’s start with Series X. In terms of basic visual settings, we’re looking at a largely similar experience between the second and seventh patches. We still see the same beautiful RTGI presentation with ray tracing turned on, with a noticeably less striking appearance when RT is set to off. I couldn’t really spot basic settings tweaks between the two patches, which is about what you’d expect.<\/p>\n
