Patch notes and version timeline

The October 30 Steam patch fixes SSR staying on after you set it to Off and restart, and a rare case where the game stopped responding during battle. It also lists text errors and other bugs without naming them. This note is for Steam and does not mention PS5 or Switch. Falcom’s platform notice below still stops at v1.04. Kingy has not tested the fixes.

The date discrepancy is retained because the official site and Steam storefront expose different date metadata. No universal unlock hour is inferred.

Check the installed Steam retail version and the Options menu for Horizontal Camera Auto-Adjustment. The announcement does not describe its default, exact behavior or a recommended setting.

The battle and crash notes do not identify a quest, encounter or triggering action, or explain how an already affected save recovers. Preserve the save and record the build and repeatable symptom; a developer-reported fix is not a tested recovery route.

Falcom’s official manual lists v1.04 for PS5 and Steam and says the Switch update is planned later. The release notice uses ver1.0.4 for the same listed fixes. Both were checked October 8. Neither establishes every region, a separate native Switch 2 update, a named affected encounter or a save-recovery procedure. Check the version offered on your device; Kingy has not tested the fixes.

A patch note can explain a missing S-Craft or monitor issue; it cannot prove that a different platform has the same bug or fix.

1. Write down the platform, version and exact symptom.
2. Apply only the update that matches the platform and issue.
3. Reload the affected save when the note says existing saves are repaired.
4. Check the same menu or activity again.
5. Keep the old file if the problem survives the update.

The September 18 retail row applies to Steam. Add other platforms only when their own itemized notices or retained tests establish the scope; keep the earlier demo rows as history.

If a behavior changes without a note, label it as an observed report until an official notice or second retained reproduction catches up.

1. Capture the version string before and after updating.
2. Recheck save transfer, S-Crafts, fishing, display and achievement behavior.
3. Record platform parity only when independently checked.
4. Link the result to the affected guide and source.
