Fixes
UI & Menus
Fixed some UI glitches when playing on ultra-wide resolutions.
Fixed a bug where the game UI would break after exiting certain menus using the Inventory button.
Several localization errors have been corrected.
Controls & Input
Dodges in the tutorial are now registered correctly.
The “Swap Shoulder With Triggers” option now works as intended.
Fixed an issue where PS4/PS5 controller buttons didn’t respond correctly.
Audio & Visuals
Fixed a bug where the game could remain permanently muted after skipping a cutscene.
Venalis now blinks correctly.
Others
Fixed a critical bug that caused animation events to duplicate, leading to excessive damage from certain attacks and other unintended behaviors.
