It sets out to provide a historically accurate depiction of 1403 Bohemia (modern-day Czech Republic), but it is hindered by bugs and questionable design elements.

According to their Twitter feed, the patch launched last week for PC and will be available on consoles soon. So as it stands, I’m not ready to pick up KCD again until Warhorse Studios finally release the eagerly awaited patch 1.03. I was not going to let the game fail me because it couldn’t run properly.
