Dishonored 2 was only recently launched but gamers are already complaining about various bugs. Bethesda, the game’s publisher, has already pushed out a large 9 GB day-one patch, but this update doesn’t fix all the issues currently affecting the game.

Here’s how to fix frequent Dishonored 2 issues

First of all, make sure that your computer meets the recommended system requirements necessary to run the game. Also, don’t forget to install the latest drivers available for Dishonored 2:

Nvidia: 375.70
AMD: 16.10.2

Dishonored 2 is blurry

To fix this issue, change Anti-Aliasing to FXAA rather than TXAA. Other players suggest that enabling reshade and setting your Lumasharpening to 1.20 also fixes this issue.

Dishonored 2 won’t start

This issue was first reported by Windows 7 users. If you get a black screen when you try to launch Dishonored 2, install the latest Platform Update for Windows 7. If you’re running Windows 10, make sure you download the latest updates for the OS.

Low FPS rate fix for Nvidia cards

Many Dishonored 2 players who had low FPS rate issues confirm the following workarounds really did the trick. If you’re also experiencing FPS rate issues and you’re using an NVIDIA graphics card, follow the steps listed below:

Go to NVIDIA’s control panel > Manage 3D Settings >Program Settings
Select Dishonored 2
Enable Maximum Pre-rendered Frames

4. The game automatically sets its process priority class to low. Although it’s set to normal/high in the menus, it then auto-sets it to low with every loading screen. As a result, Dishonored 2 is not getting the amount of CPU power it needs. This is actually the primary source of framerate drop.

After using the Nvidia control panel to change the program-specific settings for Dishonored 2, and changing the maximum pre-rendered frames to 1, my fps is now a constant 60-150, and it feels massively smoother even in the rooftop parts of Dunwall, etc. even on High graphics settings now!

You’ll need to set the process priority class to normal/high with every loading screen, unless you have a program that forces priority class options.
