revial: The only thing I've noticed (and I ran the game fine without the patch) is that pressing Esc to reach the main menu happens faster for me than it did pre-patch. In fact, so far it's been instant. Only 15 mins spent playing though.
Otherwise, in the 15 mins I've played, I can't say I noticed any improvements (but that's a big one for me). Then again, I didn't have any performance issues other than the menu taking time to pop up sometimes.
AudreyWinter: But you haven't tried a controller, right?
It's vital for me, because I can't move and fight without controller, so that'd be a dull game for me. ;)
Maybe I'd better play without the patch (and the free DLC) for a while longer, or I might not live to finish the game once, let alone twice. ;)
So, I don't know what your issue was with the controller, but it seems fine. I still hate it, because I think the quick menu navigation is incredibly clunky though.
AudreyWinter: Anybody of you with GoG version playing with the controller? Is the left stick usable in the menus and radial menu? Does the "insert" key do anything? WITH the patch, of course.
Indeed, patchlog would be useful.
Oh wait, here's your post.
For me, no it is not, and no the insert key does nothing.
Though I'm using a PS3 controller emulated as an Xbox 360 one, so no idea if that affects anything. :p
