AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 3, the latest iteration of AMD’s cutting-edge technology for boosting the performance of games with features that include frame generation, has been rolled back in Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora in order to “prevent visual artifacts that may impact the interpolation output of FSR3 Frame Generation,” according to the patch notes for Title Update 3.2, a new update that Ubisoft and Massive Entertainment introduced for the AMD-sponsored action-adventure game this week, bringing new fixes, adjustments, and more. That said, the patch also introduces Intel XeSS for PC players, while console players will now find a 40 FPS mode.

PATCH SIZES:

  • PS5 – 2,4 GB
  • Xbox Series X/S – 3.1 GB
  • PC – 3 GB

NOTABLE IMPROVEMENTS:

  • [Xbox Series X/S, PS5] Added a 40 FPS mode.
  • [PC] Enabled Intel XeSS Super Sampling.

GLOBAL:

  • Added Fast Travel option to Research Station Alpha.
  • Controller re-mapping no longer resets on game restart.
  • Fixed various crashes.
  • Fixed a few misspellings.
  • Fixed some voice lines overlapping during dialogue.

TECHNICAL:

  • [PC] AMD FSR3 has been temporarily rolled back.
  • Dev Note: To prevent visual artifacts impacting the interpolation output of FSR3 Frame Generation we’ve decided to roll back to the previously used version of FSR3. Despite this rollback, we’ve decided to keep certain improvements that we introduced with the upgraded version, such as improvements to UI composition when using Frame Generation.

MAIN QUESTS & SIDE-QUESTS:

  • [Main Quest – Shadows of the Past] Fixed an issue that would prevent the quest from updating when done in co-op.

ADDITIONAL BUG FIXES:

  • [All Platforms] Rescued Resistance human characters no longer appear back in the Resistance HQ with a mask on.
  • [All Platforms] Some NPCs no longer become invisible when at the edge of the Player’s vision.

Ubisoft’s description for the game:

Abducted by the human militaristic corporation known as the RDA, you, a Na’vi, were trained and molded to serve their purpose. Fifteen years later, you are free, but find yourself a stranger in your birthplace. Reconnect with your lost heritage, discover what it truly means to be Na’vi, and join other clans to protect Pandora from the RDA.
