Since its official release, Phantom Blade Zero has received continuous acclaim from media and players. The game's first update is now live on Steam, version 1.0302256, with a patch size of 3.7GB. This update focuses on addressing player feedback regarding sound effects, controls, performance, and bugs.
Update details:
【New Features】
● Added "Hit Sound Intensity" and "Hit Impact Sound Intensity" options in the sound settings.
● (PC) The "Interact" key can now be customized for both keyboard and controller.
【Optimizations & Adjustments】
● Improved frame rate stability in certain areas.
● Adjusted the combat performance of some bosses, enemies, and traps.
● Reduced the frequency of Bride Ah Hua's grab attacks on "Invader" and "Breaker" difficulties; other difficulties are unaffected.
● Enhanced the impact feel of weapon hits and adjusted the volume of some sound effects and dialogue.
● Updated weapon descriptions, some skill details, and controller button icons.
● (PC) Adjusted shader compilation method. The game will no longer compile ray tracing shaders by default at launch, significantly improving startup speed. After the update, players who previously had ray tracing disabled will need to recompile shaders once upon first launch, which takes a short time; players who already had ray tracing enabled can enter the game directly. If you enable ray tracing in-game, ray tracing shaders will be compiled separately after restarting the game.
● (PC) Optimized potential stuttering issues when using Bluetooth controllers.
● (PC) NVIDIA Reflex now works with V-Sync enabled when set to "Auto".
【Bug Fixes】
● Fixed an issue where progression could get stuck in certain situations.
● Fixed scene-related issues that could cause characters to get stuck.
● Fixed issues with some cutscenes and visual presentations.
● Fixed several combat-related issues.
● Fixed an issue causing abnormal hair rendering on some AMD GPUs with specific driver versions.
