Bug Fixes & Improvements
Gameplay
· Fixed an issue where loading a save created while picking up a journal could cause that journal to disappear permanently and become impossible to collect again. Missing journals are now also restored retroactively when loading affected saves.
· Fixed a soft lock that could occur during the Chromatic Glissando encounter in Sirene’s Dress level, when a dead expeditioner equipped with Shortcut and Second Chance pictos was swallowed.
· Fixed an issue on Gestral Beach where using the Rematch option after losing the volleyball minigame could create a blocked save.
· Fixed a visual issue where characters affected by Inverted would not have the correct color effect applied to their eyes.
Environment
· Fixed various environment issues (collisions, misplaced assets, missing or incorrect footsteps SFX) across Verso's Drafts, the World Map, and other levels.
Photo Mode
· Fixed facial hair of characters being blurred in the Photo Mode on the close distance if Shading was set to Epic.
· Fixed an issue in Photo mode that prevented the Inner Cone Angle and Outer Cone Angle options from affecting the shape of the preview light source.
