This issue... We would like to provide an update regarding the previously announced issue where furnishings may not be displayed properly in housing.

This issue can be broadly divided into the two cases below, and we would like to explain each in turn.

■ Case 1: When the number of furnishings on screen exceeds 400, but the checks that determine what should be hidden are not performed correctly.
Our investigation to date has confirmed issues with the following processes:

・In certain cases, when furnishings placed on different floors enter the camera view, the process that determines the positions of all furnishings on screen may fail.
・When switching furnishings between visible/hidden states, unintended fade processing is occurring.
・For furnishings with light sources, there are cases where the light reaches the camera view but the furnishing itself is off-screen, and the checks are not performed correctly—resulting in the light-source furnishing being hidden.

When these three issues overlap, we have confirmed that furnishings may become hidden at unintended times depending on furnishing placement, camera angle, and direction in which the camera is moved. For this case, we have already identified the cause and are currently working on a fix.

■ Case 2: When furnishings become hidden even though the number of furnishings on screen does not exceed 400.
Regarding this case, we have received numerous reports stating that it occurs even though fewer than 400 furnishings have been placed to begin with.

In addition to verification across a variety of environments (PC specifications and platforms), we have also investigated through a wide range of methods such as copying the housing data of affected players into our development environment. However, we have not been able to reproduce the issue even once in the development environment so far, and identifying the cause has proven difficult.

Based on our analysis of the program, it is unlikely that the display limit processing would trigger when fewer than 400 furnishings are present. As such, we have formed the hypothesis that, under certain conditions, information for furnishings that were previously rendered on screen may continue to remain in the client’s memory, and that this may be added to the current on-screen count. However, currently we do not have enough information to confirm this, and we have not yet been able to establish a clear direction for a fix.

To help us solve the issue, if you encounter the symptoms described in this case, we would greatly appreciate it if you could submit a detailed report in the official forum thread below, using the provided template. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your cooperation.

- An issue wherein placed furnishings may not be properly displayed or hidden.

Multiple inquiries have mentioned furnishings not being displayed even when fewer than 400 furnishings are on-screen, or furnishings not being hidden when over 400 furnishings are on-screen. These cases are being investigated through various methods, including copying player-specific housing data into our development environment for analysis. However, we have yet to successfully reproduce these phenomena or determine their cause. We are prioritizing this investigation and would appreciate your patience as we address this issue.

- When selecting the "Search Recipes Using This Material" subcommand on any pigment item, the Crafting Log displays Purple Pigment as the required material regardless of the originally selected pigment item. In the meantime, we recommend opening the Crafting Log from the main menu, which will display all pigment-related recipes correctly.

- In Windurst: The Third Walk, if a K.O.'d player returns to the starting point at a specific timing after Promathia is defeated, the screen remains black. Should you encounter this issue, please restart the game client.

- Certain textures in the first arena of Futures Rewritten (Ultimate) are not properly displayed. (PlayStation®5 only)

- When the Dirndl Long Skirt is equipped together with certain body gear on non-Lalafell female characters, the gear may be displayed incorrectly when performing certain animations and poses.

- The Caprino and Wind-up Red XIII minions have black dots displayed on their models when the Texture Resolution setting is set to Standard, or when playing on the PlayStation®4 / Xbox Series S versions. (Windows® / Mac / Steam / PlayStation®4 / Xbox Series S only)

- When your character is standing up from the crafting idle state (being seated with crafting tool drawn), switching to another class or job may cause the character to become immobilized. Please wait for your character to stand fully upright before switching to another class or job.

- The Quest Progression Settings under Character Configuration are incorrectly triggered around garden patches, hired NPCs, and mannequins.

[Known Issues]
■ Dye 2 is no longer applied to the hem of the Air Cell Halfslops when worn by male Roegadyn and male Hrothgar.

■ The unintended availability of the Senor Otter Pack fashion accessory, which is scheduled for release as a future reward.

* Upon investigation, we confirmed that the internal ID for the Senor Otter Pack was incorrectly configured to the same internal ID as the Black Embroidered Parasol fashion accessory. As a result, unlocking the Black Embroidered Parasol currently unlocks the Senor Otter Pack. This will no longer be the case once the internal ID is corrected in an upcoming hotfix, but we hope you will acquire the Senor Otter Pack again when it is released through the intended method.
