Stellar Blade Update Causes Critical BugsDevs Now Working On Quick Fix
Stellar Blade’s Patch 1.009 update not only introduced the much-anticipated Photo Mode and NieR: Automata collaboration DLC, but also some critical bugs. Players have reported that when attempting to continue a specific main quest story in an earlier dungeon, they were softlocked from progressing. Others have also shared that they experienced game crashes when using the selfie cam in the Photo Mode, and the new cosmetic items didn't render properly when worn on Eve.
Rest assured, developers Shift Up are now working on a hotfix patch to address the issues. They have recommended players not to force quest progression and instead wait patiently for the hotfix update, as trying to force it may permanently softlock your game even after the fix is applied.
NieR: Automata DLC and Photo Mode
Given the game's stunning, high-quality graphics and impressive cast, many players desired personalized snapshots of their favorite characters in Stellar Blade. Shift Up has fulfilled this long-standing request, adding Photo Mode in the latest update. As previously announced, Photo Mode lets players pose protagonist Eve and her companions. Additionally, new photo challenge requests utilize this feature.
To enhance Photo Mode, Eve receives four new outfits and a new accessory (available after completing a specific ending) altering Tachy Mode's appearance. A "No Ponytail" option has been added to ponytail length settings, providing further character customization. Other improvements include lip-sync support for 6 additional languages, enhanced projectile auto-aim and bullet magnet functions for the instant death skill, and various bug fixes for improved gameplay.
