Patch

Advent Revising

Advent Revising is an unofficial patch that focuses on improving and fixing cinematics rather than fixing the gameplay. It features:
  • Corrections to the majority of cut-scenes and subtitles (fixes to audio desync, sound errors, playback speed...)
  • 12 missing Xbox cutscenes
  • Adjustments to .ini files (removing black bars, enabling trilinear and Vsync, adding extra keybindings...)
  • Corrections to a few problems with objectives, weapons, weapon screens, and descriptions
