■ Version 1.3.0 (Updated March 7, 2019)

【Known Issues】

• Equipping the Striker Pack DLC weapon “Grimoire” on the Witch and performing some actions, such as jumping, will cause the game to crash.

Also, loading the game as the Witch with the “Grimoire” equipped will also cause the game to crash.

Please follow the steps below if you are experiencing this issue:

1. After starting the game, do not move the character, and open the menu.
2. Select “Shortcuts” from the menu and enter a building.
3. Inside the building, equip the Witch with a magic tome other than “Grimoire”.

We are working on a patch to fix this issue as soon as possible. We will announce the date for this patch as soon as it is decided. We are very sorry for any inconvenience caused by this issue.
