Nioh 3 Update 1.030 Released as Follow-up to Day One Patch
While Team Ninja released a day-one update for Nioh 3 yesterday, the dev team isn’t done sorting bugs out, as Nioh 3 update 1.030 (complete version 1.030.000) has been released on launch day, and it follows up yesterday’s patch with more fixes.
On Steam, players will see it as update version 1.03, which includes the same list of bug fixes as the PS5 version.
Given the game was just released, don’t expect any new content from this, aside from fixes.
Nioh 3 New Update Rollout on Release Day Brings It to Version 1.030
Bug fixes:
- Made changes so that if the player could not obtain the valuables dropped by Green Shadow’s Blade on the field “1572 CE – Warring States,” they would be able to obtain them when loading their save data.
- Fixed an issue occurring when using the Martial Art Unbroken with the Samurai weapon the cestuses that prevented the player from linking some Martial Arts to other Martial Arts using the inputs for backward movement and Strong Attacks.
- Fixed an issue causing the elbow and knee angle to be faced further inward when moving in Samurai Style than it appeared during Character Creation.
- Fixed an issue causing character creation data to be overwritten when changing the name via Save/Load Settings in Character Creation.
- Fixed an issue where the Recommended Level for accepting certain missions via Challenges after completing the game was higher than it should have been.
- Partially fixed an issue that made matching difficult for Expeditions.
- Fixed an issue that very rarely would corrupt game data if the player ended the game while praying at a shrine.
- Partially fixed an issue where water surfaces would occasionally radiate purple light.
- Made other minor fixes.
Yesterday’s patch was a lot more significant in terms of bugs squashed, as it saw changes to weapons, enemies, and a larger number of bugs resolved.
If you’re unsure whether to pick it up, it is a Souls-like, and our review leaned positively on it, stating, “Overall, Nioh 3 is a fun and decently challenging Souls game that allows you to have the freedom to create your own unique fighting style.
