Fixed a bug where sabotaging the Oraculum device would count as 2 kills and prevent getting the "Clean Hands" achievement
Update 1.2 known issues:

Incorrect labels in the Options menu: ---- “Windowed Mode” should be “Display Mode” ---- “Adaptive Resolution FPS Threshold ” should be “Adaptive Resolution FPS Target ” ---- “Borderless windowed mode ” should be “Borderless Fullscreen ” ---- “Field of Vision” should be “Field of View ” ---- “God Rays” should be “Light Shafts ” ---- Adaptive Resolution FPS Threshold setting is not accurately reflected in the Visuals menu after restarting the game when FPS Limiter is used. ---- Adaptive Resolution FPS Threshold becomes locked to the previous FPS Limiter setting when V-sync is enabled. ---- Workaround: Toggle V-sync off, then change the FPS Limiter to the desired setting before re-enabling V-sync.
A visual distortion may occur at the bottom of the screen when toggling Triple Buffering while in-game. ---- Workaround: Toggle Triple Buffering at the Main Menu, or turn it off then back on while in-game to remove the distortion.
The in-game Framerate may remain locked to 60 FPS when the V-sync setting is set to Full on a monitor that supports higher than 60Hz refresh rates. ---- Workaround: Disable V-sync and manually set the FPS Limiter setting to higher than 60 to achieve Framerates above 60 FPS.
The FPS Limiter setting only displays text in English and is not localized. ---- Workaround: None. Localization is expected to be implemented in a future update.
The Adaptive Resolution setting will change to display as Manual when exiting and re-entering the Visual settings menu after setting it to Always. ---- Workaround: None. This is a visual issue with the menu. The Adaptive Resolution setting will still be enabled and set to the default for the Always setting.
Keyboard and Mouse controls may display latency in menus and during gameplay when V-sync is set to Half. ---- Workaround: Either Disable V-sync or change the setting to Full.
Framerate may not be accurately locked to 30 FPS when setting V-sync to Half ---- Workaround: Disable V-sync and change the FPS Limiter setting, or increase the V-sync setting.
Multiple confirmation prompts may appear when cancelling a change to the Triple Buffering Setting. ---- Workaround: None. Cancel the prompt again until it no longer appears.
Framerate may be decreased when using V-sync without Triple Buffering Enabled ---- Workaround: Enable Triple Buffering to see if that increases performance, or disable V-sync.
Controls may become locked if a controller has been disconnected while the game is running ---- Workaround: Use Alt+Tab to leave the game window then return, or reconnect the controller.
Setting the Adaptive Resolution to Off changes the Adaptive Resolution FPS Threshold to 29. ---- Workaround: None. This is a visual issue with the menu and does not affect the actual in-game Framerate.

When Dishonored 2 was launched, the game experienced PC performance problems on machines with specific configurations. We’re working to address some of these with our updates over time, and some will be addressed by driver updates released by our partners.
Today we’re beginning the process with new NVIDIA PC drivers (375.95) and our first post-release title update (Update 1.1).
PC users on NVIDIA cards should grab this driver update before playing.
NVIDIA driver 375.95 Link
For users with AMD cards, the recommended driver is still 16.10.2. Look for more information from AMD on CrossFire support in the near future. As we have new information on drivers for both card types, we will update our forums.
Additionally, a new title update for Dishonored 2 (v 1.1) is now available via Steam as a Beta update – see below for instructions. Update 1.1 includes a small number of fixes including:

Mouse improvements, including a fix for sensitivity being framerate dependent
Fixes an AMD cloth physics issue, which impacts framerates at various points in the game
Fixes an issue affecting CPU task priority - the game no longer switches CPU task priority
If you run into issues or have questions please let us know in the public Dishonored 2 Steam Beta Forums on Bethesda.net.
Our work on Dishonored 2 continues. Update 1.2 development is underway and will address a broader range of issues including performance and is estimated to be available in the next week.
How to access the Steam Beta

Log into Steam.
Right Click on Dishonored 2 in your Library.
Select Properties.
Select Betas.
A drop down menu will appear. Select BetaPatch.
Select OK.
Wait a few minutes for game to update.

Thanks for your support!
