BioWare has released a new update for Dragon Age: The Veilguard, bringing a handful of improvements to the overall experience, while also squashing a bunch of bugs.
Highlights include photo mode filters, and a selection of user interface-based enhancements. Meanwhile, the bug fixes address all kinds of things, like wonky facial animations and incorrect equipment stats.
Interestingly, the developer makes a point of there being another patch in the works, which it'll "talk more about soon". It's possible that BioWare's cooking a more substantial update — but we'll have to wait and see.
