  • Fixed an issue where the "Training Barrel" Pop-up Camp gear option could be displayed twice.
  • Fixed an issue where unintended textures would appear on Guardian Fulgur Anjanath's head, resulting in an unnatural appearance.

  • 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.
  • 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.
