The system did not quite perform as intended following the latest launch.

The team behind the highly anticipated life sim inZOI recently deployed a major winter update. However, they have now shifted their focus toward resolving several technical hiccups that accompanied the new content.

To address these issues, the developers rolled out hotfix 0.5.2. A key part of this patch involves reverting the SmartZoi feature to its October state to preserve service reliability:

Following the recent update, we identified instances where the SmartZoi feature was not functioning as intended. Consequently, we have reverted it to the October version to ensure system stability. We apologize for the frustration this may cause and are working as quickly as possible to refine and restore these improvements.

A summary of additional bug fixes and quality-of-life adjustments includes:

Fixed a game-breaking freeze that occurred when accessing the schedule interface under specific language configurations.
Resolved a display error where operator names appeared incorrectly within certain venues.
Fixed a bug that prevented autonomous actions from triggering properly within enclosed rooms or specific outdoor zones.
Addressed character clipping and overlapping issues during delivery-related interactions with NPC couriers.
Adjusted specific social actions on sofas to prevent them from occurring autonomously.
Affected interactions: Give Massage, Offer Lap Pillow, Arm Around Shoulder, Share Jokes, and Show Affection.
Fixed an issue where customers attempting to visit establishments were occasionally blocked from entering the lot.
