Major Bug Fixes

Crashes and Progression Blockers

• Resolved an issue where story progression could permanently stall if the barrier in Sunreach was removed prior to accepting the main mission.

Multiplayer and Co-op

• Fixed a co-op bug where client-side lighting would occasionally render incorrectly following cutscenes or ending sequences.
• Mitigated stutters and performance drops during the transition cutscene when entering the World Tree area in multiplayer sessions.
• Resolved an issue on dedicated servers where players could inadvertently trigger Fast Travel during active Tower Boss encounters.
• Fixed a desync bug on dedicated servers causing summoned Pals to appear to vibrate or jitter rapidly on clients’ screens.

Pals and NPCs

• Fixed a bug where summoned Pals would occasionally become unresponsive and halt combat.
• Resolved an issue where active Pals would stop contributing to base automation and tasks.
• Fixed a multiplayer visual bug where Partner Skills (such as Orserk’s) failed to update their cooldown or activation status correctly in the UI, falsely appearing unused.
• Corrected an issue where Alpha Surfent failed to drop Leather when assigned to work in a Ranch.

Battles and Bosses

• Fixed an issue where specific raid boss encounters could lock up and fail to progress as intended.
• Corrected a hitbox discrepancy where Panthalus’s visual shockwave effects did not accurately match the active damage range.

Bases and Building

• Fixed alignment detection errors for stairs and slanted roofs that caused them to misalign with their physical models.
• Resolved a placement bug preventing stairs from snapping correctly to the sides of foundations and roofs.

Items and Rewards

• Corrected reward drop tables for standard Moon Lord encounters and Ultra Raid Boss battles to match intended design specifications.
• Patched an exploit that allowed players to duplicate items under specific, repeatable conditions.
• Fixed a bug where activating Katress’s Partner Skill while mounted and switching Pal spheres simultaneously could reward the player with an unintended sphere type.
• Resolved a visual bug where the World Tree Holy Water buff effect failed to render properly on mounted Pals.
• Fixed a persistent visual glitch where approaching trees in the World Tree zone after the World Tree Holy Water buff expired would cause the aura to re-trigger indefinitely.
• Corrected an improper reward configuration linked to desert expeditions.
• Fixed an issue where the Dark Skill Fruit: Psycho Gravity was missing from the item search menu.
• Resolved a bug where sphere launchers lacked a properly defined firing interval.

UI, Display, and Text

• Fixed an issue where custom resolution settings failed to apply properly while running the game in exclusive fullscreen mode.
• Resolved a bug where toggling window modes using F11 or Alt+Enter would force the game back into fullscreen upon loading a save.
• Fixed a visual bug where specific particle effects active while aiming would cause the entire screen to blur excessively.

Sound

• Restored missing ambient water sound effects at Teafant Spring.
• Fixed a dedicated server issue where the background music for Attack Choppers triggered by other players would play globally across the map regardless of distance.
• Rebalanced the audio attenuation range for Attack Choppers so the theme only plays appropriately for players who currently have a Wanted status.
• Eliminated misplaced footstep audio cues that triggered when traversing furniture or facility structures.

Controls

• Fixed a bug where resetting controls to default values failed to revert custom keybindings assigned to the “Attack that enemy!” command.
• Resolved an issue where interacting with confirmation prompts and duplicate key warnings would unintentionally apply control settings.

Map and Exploration

• Fixed a graphical glitch where shoreline textures and beach-like surfaces would linger on the water’s surface after Fast Traveling to an offshore base.
