Just yesterday, Shift Up released the latest patch for Stellar Blade, version 1.009.002, addressing a rather pesky bug that had been causing quite a bit of trouble. This issue surfaced with the recent Nier: Automata DLC and photo mode update. Shift Up had earlier advised players to hold off on diving back into the action until this patch was ready.
### Stellar Blade Update 1.009.002 Patch Notes (November 25, 2024)
Here’s a rundown of all the adjustments included in the patch:
– A glitch causing the game to crash sporadically while using Photo Mode has been corrected.
– The forced application of the film grain effect in Xion’s Photo Mode is no longer an issue.
– Main Quest progress, which was sometimes stalled during Photo challenge requests, should now run smoothly.
– An annoying bug that removed Nier: Automata collaboration items when players changed difficulty after saving at camp has been fixed.
– The selfie camera item, previously unusable after taking an elevator ride near Altes Levoire in the Wasteland, is back in working order.
The Stellar Blade update, featuring Nier’s DLC and new photo mode features, has been met with enthusiasm. Players are eagerly calling for more such crossovers in the future. An amusing Easter egg has also caught their attention—try peeking under Eve’s skirt and she’ll cheekily kick the camera!
