Kristala - Digital Artbook · published · build 23336318
The following is a list of patch notes and bug fixes for Kristala Version 1.0.17
This update includes significant loading and streaming optimizations—particularly in areas surrounding cities—to improve responsiveness and reduce stuttering during gameplay. It also introduces additional gameplay, UI, and environment improvements focused on combat interactions, menu usability, and overall world polish. These changes are part of our continued efforts to improve stability, loading behavior, and the overall player experience across all platforms.
A quick hotfix addressing the issue preventing interaction with Zazagrul’s cauldron during Something Wicked Part 3 is now live. Players previously blocked from progressing this quest should now be able to continue normally.
Fixed an issue where Kota Fire Starter lava pools were not properly damaging the player
Fixed an issue where weapon weight was not properly contributing to equip load
Fixed an issue where pickups containing both a Note and another item could prevent the Interact button from functioning correctly when attempting to read the note
Fixed an issue where Resolution options could not be properly scrolled with the mouse
Fixed an issue that could cause crashes related to certain Deluxe Edition DLC items on Steam
Note: This fix has already been applied for current DLC owners and is included here for visibility.
Added a temporary optimization to reduce severe loading stutters in areas near cities. As part of this change, city NPC fur rendering has been temporarily disabled while we continue working on a more permanent solution
Added additional loading and streaming improvements to improve responsiveness in heavily populated areas
Improved blocking volumes across Tandar to better define playable area boundaries
Added minor visual improvements across Nisar and Tandar
Fixed several minor issues in Nisar
