Here are the patch notes for Total War: ROME II- Patch 1 (06.09.13):

  • Higher average frame rates with out-of-the-box settings (more conservative settings)
  • Fix for DirectX 10.0 Lighting issue reported - environment map wasn't being created leading to black reflections.

  • Fixed defender being able to create encampments when involved in a combined battle.
  • Added some localisation fixes to audio packs in French, Russian, Italian, German and Spanish.
  • Fixed lock up in Multiplayer Campaign battles when a desynchronisation occurs. Players are now notified of the desynchronisation, and the battle ends.

  • Improved AI use of walls on Athens large settlement battle map.

  • Fixed vehicle ground pipes, to prevent Siege Towers becoming immovable when they are left empty during the Deployment Phase of a Siege Battle, then units were moved into the Siege Tower when the battle has started.

  • Reduced the chance of Naval units sometimes clipping through the ground or harbours / ports during Port Assault battles when attempting to disembark.

  • Fixed rare post battle lockup in Campaign modes.
  • Improved unit pathfinding in Barbarian village battle maps (fixed no go zones).
