・We have been looking into the time it takes to compile shaders using an AMD GPU, with cooperation from AMD.
・If it is taking a long time to compile shaders, this may improve after updating to the latest driver, Adrenalin Edition 22.11.2

- Retention of accessories equipped by allied characters that leave the party
- Addition of the ability to perform a DUMA scan while moving
- Adjustments to the frequency that allied characters perform healing actions in battle
- Adjustments to some battles
- Adjustments to some UI and UI operation element
- Bug fixes
- Optimisation

The issue regarding the inability to create shader cache when using multi-byte letters for OS username while also using NVIDIA GPUs has been resolved with the latest graphics driver “Release 525 Driver for Windows, Version 526.98.”

If you have been affected by this issue, please try updating the graphics driver in order to resolve this issue.

Please also make sure to re-compile the shader after the update.

The shader can be re-compiled by following steps:
1. Start the game
2. Go to “System” menu from title screen
3. Go to “Graphics” option, scroll down to “Pre-compiled Shaders” and set it to “ON”
4. Restart the game
5. The shader compilation will now start
*The ”Pre-compiled shader” option will turned OFF after compilation process completed
