Destiny 2 Update 1.1.0 released, patch notes detailed

In conjunction with the release of their Curse of Osiris DLC, Bungie have updated Destiny 2 to version 1.1.0. Full patch notes can be found below.

It’s a big one, so there are no doubt all sorts of interesting tweaks and changes in here if you’re a regular Destiny 2 player. I’m not, so I can’t really help point much out in that respect. In terms of specific PC changes, Bungie say framerate stuttering with certain SLI set-ups should now be fixed. You’ll also be able to use the scroll wheel on your mouse to read gear lore tabs. A source of “random crashes” has been addressed, as has one in the New Pacific Arcology region of Titan. The in-game frame-rate counter should be more accurate now, too.

Have a read through for yourself for all the Destiny 2 1.1.0 details.
