Groove to New Tunes and Conquer New Challenges
The highlight of the 1.020 update? Seven brand-new arranged music tracks inspired by your favorite in-game tunes. This musical treat is Shift Up's way of saying "thank you" for the incredible support the game has received. So, prepare to rock out while you slice and dice!
But that’s not all! Craving an even tougher adventure? The update unlocks Hard Mode right from the get-go. Many players felt that the original difficulty didn’t offer enough of a challenge, and now you can put your skills to the ultimate test from the moment you start. Think you have what it takes?
A Smoother Experience Awaits
Beyond the new tunes and harder challenges, this patch addresses several gameplay hiccups. Here’s a quick rundown of the fixes:
- "Where is the Fantastic Bait" Quest: Resolved an issue specific to this side quest, preventing a progression blocker.
- NIKKE Minigame: Fixed a quirky bug where EVE's gun would mysteriously vanish during the NIKKE minigame. (Talk about being disarmed in a crucial moment!)
- And more!
Under the Hood Improvements
Shift Up has also been tweaking the technical side of things. The "Expected VRAM" display in the graphics options menu has been enhanced. It now provides a clearer picture of both current VRAM usage and predicted maximum usage, helping you optimize your settings for peak performance.
