BUGFIXES AND KNOWN ISSUES

• Japanese, Korean, Traditional & Simplified Chinese - KNOWN ISSUE : We've needed more time to implement all new localization for this patch, and due to timezone differences will have some unedited translations for these languages, but will be patched in less than 24 hours..
• Steam Deck bugs - KNOWN ISSUE : Steam Deck running on Linux means that lots of those OS bugs are affecting Neoduel "on the go". Expect to see black bar in places where some animations are not loading correctly, and there's small instances of cloud save not working as intended, creating a different instance of your save on the machine. We're currently investigating a fix.
• Achievements - KNOWN ISSUE : We received small reports of certain complex achievements like "Fusion Complete" are not triggering upon completion. We're currently investigating a fix but require more data so don't hesitate to open a support ticket on Discord.
