Death Stranding 2 PC Patch 1.10 Fixes Camera Freeze and DLSS Screenshot Glitch
Team Nixxes has shipped Patch 1.10 for the PC version of Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, addressing several issues reported by the community since launch.
What changed
Instant camera freeze fixed — a hard freeze that could occur for some players when using the instant camera has been resolved.
Steam Input icon error corrected — assigning the same action multiple times in Steam Input mapping could cause the wrong input icon to be displayed; this has been addressed.
DLSS screenshot distortion resolved — visual distortion that could appear in screenshots when DLSS upscaling was active is no longer present.
Stability improvements — several unspecified stability fixes are included.
The patch notes credit community feedback explicitly, and players encountering further issues are directed to contact Nixxes Support with relevant files.
For anyone who had shelved the instant camera or disabled DLSS to avoid these problems, the path back to normal use is now clear.
