The Secret World 1.1.1 Patch Notes

August 7, 2012 by

The TSW servers are up and version 1.1.1 of TSW is now live. The patch notes are reproduced in full for you below.

There’s plenty of fixes plus a new anti-aliasing option if you have a NVIDIA Kelper (600) series of GPU. For the rest of us there’s hopefully now an even more fun game – or at least one with a bunch less bugs.

Enjoy:

UPDATE 1.1.1 – AUGUST 7TH

With this update we have enabled TXAA, and The Secret World is the first game in the world to support this anti-aliasing technique! This requires the newest NVIDIA Kelper (600) series of GPU. To enable TXAA in the video options of the game select “TXAA 2x” or “TXAA 4x” as your anti-aliasing under the video options of the game. These drivers are schedueled to go out of beta (WHQL) around the 13th of August.
