We are releasing Update v0.4.23 to address the following issues.
July 23, 15:30 (JST)
Note: It may take some time for the update to become available depending on your region.
Fixed an issue in battles following the tutorial (such as Friend Match) where the game would become unresponsive on recruitment screens (e.g., State Selection).
Fixed an issue during the tutorial recruitment screen where click guides and UI elements would misalign and cause the game to become unresponsive under certain PC specs or Windowed Mode settings.
Fixed an issue where click inputs would stop responding under specific conditions.
Support Codes Added: If the game fails to launch, an error message with a Support Code (B001–B009) will now be displayed based on the cause. Providing this Support Code when contacting support will help us identify the issue more smoothly.
Automatic Graphic API Switching: If launching fails due to graphics settings, the game will now automatically switch the graphics API to attempt to continue launching.
Note: The API change will take effect from the next launch.
DirectX 11 Mode: Added an option to select DirectX 11 Mode in the Screen Settings.
Switching to DirectX 11 Mode may resolve crashes occurring at specific moments, such as:
Crashing upon pressing START
Crashing upon opening the Barracks
Crashing upon opening the Recruitment screen
Made internal improvements to enhance overall game software stability.
Performed other minor optimizations and fixes.
We apologize for the inconvenience, but please restart your game to apply the update.
