Dishonored receives free v1.4 update before Brigmore Witches DLC release

Bethesda and Arkane Studios’ 2012 smash hit Dishonored is currently getting ready to welcome the upcoming Brigmore Witches DLC release, by adding some finishing touches to the game before the DLC arrives. A brand new update is being pushed out to deal with a few nagging issues.

The new free patch – v1.4 – for Dishonored hits the game on all platforms, and aims to fix a number of bugs present in the game.

Among the listed official fixes, few of the important ones include NPCs killed by falling damage now counting towards Total Kill stats, an issue where sometimes activating a door wouldn’t display an interaction dialog or even open the door, and other several small issues, including fixes to minor graphical glitches and localization inconsistencies that were previously faced across the NA and EU versions of the game. The fixes are meant not only for the original game, but also for the earlier released The Knife of Dunwall DLC.

Find below the full list of fixes, as provided by VG427:
