This patch fixes the following issues:
Fixed an issue where, in languages other than Chinese, the phone interface (Day 4) would freeze after the male protagonist replied to a voice message (sorry... this voice message translation was missing...). The phone interface now plays smoothly!
Fixed an issue where, in languages other than Chinese, "Sam's Letter" (Day 8) did not have a localized version (this translation was also missing...).
Fixed an issue in the Walkman interface where unlocking the "Protagonist's Aura" passive ability first would leave you without enough Crystals to unlock the three heroines' special abilities. Now, upon clearing Day 1, Day 2, and Day 3, you will receive a total of 5 additional Crystals, helping you unlock special abilities earlier!
Note: If you have already passed the first three days of the game, this patch may not resolve your issue with unlocking all achievements; you will need to manually replace the GlobalSave file. Remember to back up your original save file before replacing it!Baidu Netdisk:https://pan.baidu.com/s/1Zsf6WTzeiBjYajLWXVwU5A?pwd=thgk

4. Updated the content of the message sent by Fred on Day 5, adding text prompts to prevent you from missing the medical supplies in the box due to the image being too small.
Thank you, truly, truly, for all your support and understanding!!!ːsteamboredːDear players and friends,
Hello!
Yesterday was the first day of SubZero's official release. Thank you to everyone who stepped into the frozen wasteland. We have received a lot of thoughtful feedback and noticed a few issues that affect the experience. We are truly sorry for the trouble and are working hard on fixes. Here are our current progress and temporary solutions:
1. Day 4 mobile interface lag: We have received your reports and are urgently investigating. Temporary workaround: please try switching the in-game language to Chinese, which should resolve the lag.
2. Achievement description issue: We are aware of this and will fix it in an upcoming update as soon as possible.
3. Black screen on main menu: If you encounter a black screen when entering the game, please try turning off your VPN or proxy tool, then restart the game.
4. Switching network nodes: If you wish to try different node connections, please manually save your game before switching to avoid losing progress.

Game-related Questions
Q: Is this game only playable on PC?
A: Yes, currently available for search and download on the Steam store.
Q: Why can't I enter the game sometimes?
A: This is usually caused by network issues. Try closing VPN and restarting Steam.
Q: Do I need a game accelerator (VPN/proxy)?
A: If you are in mainland China, it is recommended to turn off any accelerator. If you are overseas, please try connecting to nodes in mainland China, Hong Kong, Germany, or the United States.

Q: I can only see the UI, but the video is black. How do I fix this?
A: Try restarting Steam and the game. If the issue persists, please contact an official community admin with your specific system configuration, and we will do our best to help investigate.
Q: The game crashes frequently. What should I do?
A: Try disabling compatibility mode for Steam (right-click Steam → Properties → Compatibility → uncheck "Run this program in compatibility mode").
Q: How do I handle game launch failure or other runtime issues?
A: 1. Verify local file integrity (right-click game in Steam library → Properties → Installed Files → Verify integrity of game files).
2. Check for Steam updates – ensure Steam is up to date.
3. If your system meets the requirements, try updating your graphics drivers, clearing memory, or freeing up disk space.
