- Fixes & Performance Improvements - 13 February 2026
Thank you to everyone who participated in the Winter Open Beta and provided feedback! Since the Open Beta ended, we have been working on some issues based on the feedback you shared with us. Below is a summary of the changes we've made so far: 「 ✦ Gameplay Fixes and Adjustments ✦ 」Item Exploit Fixed Fixed an issue where players could rapidly spam the throw and equip actions with the same item.
