For the full game on Steam, check 1.05 first: it fixes a rare battle hang and the SSR setting. The earlier 1.04 update added a horizontal camera option and reported rare battle-progression and action-triggered crash fixes. Steam’s older 1.03.2 note covers inactive-monitor startup, upscaling effects and initial language selection. Demo 1.00.1 and 1.00.2 remain separate below.

Current Steam update: 1.05
If a battle stopped responding, the October 30 Steam patch lists a fix for a rare case of that, without naming the battle. It also fixes the SSR setting, text errors and other bugs. It does not mention console versions or recovery of a stuck save. For the earlier 1.04 fixes, read on.
The October 5 Steam announcement reports rare battle-progression and action-triggered crash fixes, alongside Horizontal Camera Auto-Adjustment, text corrections and miscellaneous fixes. Falcom’s manual lists v1.04 for PS5 and Steam, with the Switch update still pending when checked October 8.
Update the matching edition, preserve the affected save and record whether the same symptom returns. Neither source names a particular encounter or bonus-import repair, or explains recovery of an already blocked save. Kingy has not tested the fixes.
Full game will not start with an inactive monitor connected?
The September 18 Steam hotfix addresses this startup failure. It is distinct from the demo displaying on the wrong monitor. The same retail note also addresses visual effects with upscaling and language selection at first launch.
Kingy recommendation: let the full-game update finish, then retry with the same display setup and record the result. If it still fails, note which monitors are connected or inactive and the installed version. No save-file change is prescribed by this patch. These fixes have not been reproduced by Kingy.
The official Steam feed was checked October 8. The current retail update and earlier demo fixes are separated above; use Falcom’s platform notice for PS5 and pending Switch delivery.
Record whether this is the demo or full game, its version, platform and exact action that triggers the issue.
Retain the affected save and make a separate test save if possible.
Describe the repeatable steps to support. Do not delete progress as a first troubleshooting step.
The cited 1.00.1 and 1.00.2 notes are Steam demo announcements. They do not establish the same version number or timing on PS5, Nintendo Switch or Switch 2. The official transfer page separately says to update the full game before importing.
When reporting a problem, capture the platform, storefront, displayed version, language, objective, exact action and whether the issue survives a reload. This turns an anecdote into evidence that can be checked against a patch note.
Check the game’s update status and version string.
Reproduce the issue once on a copy or separate test save when possible.
Keep the original save and attach the exact notice or screenshot to a support report.
Recheck this page after a verified official announcement; do not infer console parity from a Steam fix.
