The open beta will add a slider to adjust the game's camera shake intensity, something many players have noted can cause issues with motion sickness.

Motion blur has also been reduced, particularly in motion-heavy combat and flight animations, as well as changes to camera distancing.

Matchmaking and performance have been improved, and crashes have been ironed out, too. 

Many of the patch notes are focused on the PC version of the game - here's the full list for each platform.
