Issues fixed
Some bugs occur when the game is running at 60 FPS
- The Gysahl Green patches after planting seeds can sometimes become non interactable.[1][2][3]
- Rocky crag moles can sometimes become non interactable, making it unable to be collected.[4][5]
- When picking up the fireworks in Yusnaan from one of the chocobo girls, the Miqo'te garb can sometimes not be obtained even though Hope says the garb is obtained in the conversation that is triggered after the Fireworks are obtained. Also, one of the fireworks may not be obtained making it unable to even proceed through the story as well.[6][7]
All of these bugs can be solved if the game is running in 30 FPS |
