Game Update 1.3.1

The recent launch of the complimentary Extended Operations DLC brought thrilling additions to 007 First Light, including New Game+, Photo Mode, the grueling “00” difficulty tier, and the high-stakes Valhalla Protocol. In the wake of this update, your prompt reports and invaluable feedback have helped us pinpoint and isolate a handful of lingering bugs.

This targeted hotfix addresses those friction points directly. It rolls out critical stability improvements, resolves TacSim leaderboard dropouts, fixes an elusive outfit unlock bug, and clears up several minor audio-visual anomalies. We’ve pushed this patch live rapidly so you can resume your undercover assignments with zero interruptions.

A sincere thank you to our community for diving in headfirst and sharing your experiences with us.

PATCH NOTES

Stability & Performance

• Resolved a rare, intermittent crash during Chapter 03: All the Time in the World that could occur when descending the concealed cellar stairs immediately after solving the dining room puzzle.

IOI Account Integration

• Fixed an issue where linking and authenticating an IOI Account occasionally failed to properly unlock “The Grey Standard” attire in-game.

Online & Tactical Simulation (TacSim)

• Patched a concurrency issue where finishing a TacSim run—such as the Valhalla Protocol—during simultaneous backend server updates could trigger a disconnection, inadvertently blocking final scores from posting to the global leaderboards.
• Corrected a physics anomaly in TacSim: Valhalla Protocol where ramming an enemy vehicle head-on caused NPC cars to behave erratically, clipping into the player’s chassis while spinning their tires violently in place.

General Gameplay, UI & Audio

• Eliminated visual flickering when inspecting gadget details featuring alternate cosmetic skins (including the Dart Phone, Flash Mine, Smoke Pod, and Missile Pen) inside the Customization Menu.
• Restored missing sound effects tied to the opening and closing mechanisms of glass security gate panels.
• Fixed multiple geometry clipping errors spanning various character stances, animations, and Photo Mode poses while wearing the Observant Spy outfit in New Game+.
• Erased flickering water reflections that previously surfaced along the hull of the luxury yacht during cinematic cutscenes when Path Tracing was enabled.

Mission-Specific Enhancements

01 – The Needle’s Eye / 02 – A Night Out

• Fixed a cloth simulation bug where Bond’s trench coat would invert during the tense confrontation with Monroe while wearing the Observant Spy outfit, exposing untextured inner geometry.

03 – All the Time in the World

• Resolved a clothing clipping issue triggered by activating Photo Mode while inspecting the exterior of the aircraft.

06 – Uninvited

• Removed intrusive orange placeholder assets that would occasionally manifest over hanging flowerpot chains upon entering Photo Mode within the Garden zone.

07 – Knightfall

• Corrected an animation glitch where the lower half of the TacSim outfit jacket would snap upward after loading into or transitioning across the Cargo floor checkpoint.

08 – Time to Die

• Fixed an edge-case scenario where Bond could become permanently locked in a broken movement state if he remained in cover behind a wooden crate just as it was destroyed following Greenway’s re-entry.
• Banished an unnatural shadow artifact that manifested as a stark dark blotch on the villa’s first-floor wall adjacent to the blue painting when Path Tracing remained active.

09 – Wave of the Future

• Cleaned up an intrusive debug display error that flashed the text “They can see you” alongside an unrendered eye icon over a solid black screen during the Hyperion Silo sequence.
