⚫︎ Shift Up has rolled out a crucial patch to address issues stemming from the Stellar Blade x Nier Automata update. This free update, which introduced Nier Automata-inspired cosmetics and a new Photo Mode, was well-received for its Easter eggs, especially Eve's 2B outfits. However, it also led to unexpected crashes and missing costumes. The latest hotfix enhances Photo Mode stability, preventing crashes during in-game screenshots, and ensures that the Nier Automata outfits are restored for players who've collected all Stellar Tears or caught elusive Great Desert fish for the War Dress.
