The 1.02 patch for the trial aims to rectify the significant stutter problems that rendered the trial nearly unplayable on specific system configurations. While some minor stutters may still occur in demanding scenarios, the updated trial represents a substantial improvement over its predecessor.

All of these fixes will be carried over to the final version of the game, scheduled for release in just a week on September 17th.
