Version differences

Most storefronts refer to the game as 'Disco Elysium - The Final Cut'. This is not a different version of the game, but simply a branding for one of the free content updates that added some major missing features, such as full English voice-overs.
As the update was pushed to everyone who bought the game previously, there is no non-'The Final Cut' version.[7]
The Steam version received the "Jamais Vu" update in December of 2021, which added several new secret achievements and enhancements;[8] the GOG version has yet to receive this update.

Fix movement stuttering at 60FPS by patching "Assembly-CSharp.dll" file.
  1. Download the IPS Patch.
  2. Open RomPatcher.js in a new web browser tab, or use a dedicated IPS patching utility (Such as Lunar IPS).
  3. Go to <path-to-game>\Disco Elysium_Data\Managed\ and use the Assembly-CSharp.dll file as the source ROM file, and the downloaded IPS patch as the patch file.
  4. After the patched file has been saved, rename the file to Assembly-CSharp.dll and move it to <path-to-game>\Disco Elysium_Data\Managed\, making sure to replace the original.
