After a first burst of six Hotfixes, Moon Studios has just delivered a first official patch, announced as follows on the forum dedicated to the game: “To celebrate the two weeks of launch of No Rest for the Wicked, we are releasing our first Early Access patch! This patch brings significant improvements to CPU and GPU performance (especially for traversal and “heavy” areas), remapping of keyboard controls, a new mouse/keyboard control scheme, increased stacks of inventory, access to chest inventory at vendors/crafters, bows using stamina, faster access to housing, quality of life and over 45 bug fixes. Given all the performance improvements since the game's launch, we're updating our recommended PC specs!“

What a Wicked Game you play
Previously the required configurations were as follows:
| Minimum configuration: | Recommended configuration : |
|---|---|
| Processor : Intel Core i5-8400 / AMD Ryzen 5 2600 | Processor : Intel Core i5-12600K / AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D |
| Graphic card : Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 / AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 | Graphic card : Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070Ti / AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT |
| RAM : 16 GB | RAM : 16 GB |
| Storage : 35 GB | Storage : 35 GB |
| Resolution : 1920 x 1080 pixels | Resolution : 1920 x 1080 pixels |
| Operating system : Windows 10 | Operating system : Windows 7 |
The optimization carried out by Moon Studios therefore seems substantial, and should allow more modest configurations to be able to run No Rest for The Wicked by coughing a little less. In addition to bug and glitch fixes, Moon Studios lists numerous improvements in terms of quality of life, including the ability to sort inventory items, the ability to access the hero's accommodation more quickly (directly upon arriving at Sacrament, instead of having to complete the side quest “Rats and Raiders”), or even the possibility of skipping the cutscenes by simply pressing a button. The developers also announced a loot rebalancing. All of the changes delivered by patch note 1 are available here.
