Bug Fixes and Balance Adjustments

Bases and Facilities

• Fixed an issue where the "Training Barrel" Pop-up Camp gear option could be displayed twice.

Monsters

• Fixed an issue where unintended textures would appear on Guardian Fulgur Anjanath's head, resulting in an unnatural appearance.
• Fixed an issue where, during certain attacks by Arch-tempered Arkveld, attack effects that should spread in four directions could be displaced by terrain interactions into unintended directions.

Player

General

• Fixed an issue where, after receiving the effects of Synthetic Shield or Synergy enhanced by another player's Resonance II set bonus skill, players could no longer receive the effects of normal (non-enhanced) Synthetic Shield or Synergy after the enhanced effects expired.

Sword & Shield

• Fixed an issue where, while the sword & shield are drawn, traps could not be placed via a radial menu shortcut immediately after activating Focus Mode.

Miscellaneous

System

• Fixed an issue where background music and sound effects would occasionally fail to play correctly.
• Fixed an issue affecting the pendant Arkveld: Mark of Mastery (obtainable from the Arch-tempered Arkveld free challenge quest) where, under high system load, the ornament's swaying animation would stop after drawing the weapon in some situations.
• Measures are being taken to prevent stuttering when a frame rate cap is set and NVIDIA DLSS is enabled in the graphics settings.

Other
