Update: Leenzee added more gameplay-specific fixes in a separate patch notes announcement, which we’ve added to the list.
Performance Related Optimizations
- Low Latency Mode is now a manual toggle in the Options menu. It will no longer be enabled by default.
- Supersampling resolution limits have been adjusted on select GPU models to prevent unintended performance degradation.
- VRAM optimization for lower-end GPUs:
- For GPUs with 8GB or less VRAM, memory-saving optimization is now applied across all texture quality levels.
- For GPUs with more than 8GB VRAM, this optimization applies only when texture quality is set to Low.
- These changes improve stability and reduce crashes or stuttering caused by insufficient video memory.
Bug Fixes & Stability Improvements
- Fixed a crash that could occur immediately after the company logo during game startup.
- Resolved execution stutter affecting select hardware configurations during finisher animations.
- Fixed issues related to both the Standard Edition and Deluxe Edition – after the patch update, players of both versions will receive the correct content rewards. Players who have already purchased the Deluxe Edition package will need to log in again and claim the reward at the donation box located in Reverent Temple.
- All WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers Steam owners will receive the Original Soundtrack DLC for free as compensation.
Gameplay Balance Adjustments
- Chapter 2 – Landmine Encounter Rebalancing:
- Reduced the number of landmines and adjusted their damage output to create a more fair and enjoyable challenge.
- Reduced landmine damage.
- Adjusted the Shrine location in the Burning Cavern of Worship’s Rise in Ruins (Chapter 4)
- Fixed the issue where the Nightmare Demon could occasionally fail to transition to the second battle phase.
- Fixed abnormal multi-playthrough stats for certain jade pendants.
