Overall multiplayer performance enhancements are also mentioned in the patch notes as well as performance issues in Cooperative Campaign were addressed.
Performance hits issues on AI in Skirmish were fixed, and the Campaign mission where players get stuck after loading a save was addressed. The performance issues on PC are included in the notes, such as performance enhancements on various hardware and a driver check on PC is added to alert users to the existence of old drivers.
Also, there are fixes for PC players who encounter a black screen on the game's startup, as well as the PC crashes that were hardware-dependent are both addressed. There were also fixes made to the gameplay of "Halo Wars 2," such as bugs with Kodiaks in Campaign and some adjustments were made to Scarab creation.
The issue with 'Detect' on some starting units that are not working properly and the issue in getting Palmer's Pure Gold Achievement were both addressed. Here is the link to the long list of the changes via the game's official website.
