The First Descendant – published by Nexon – has a new September known issues bulletin that outlines several in-game and PC problems. The notice highlights a mistaken module description, shop preview bugs, Intel CPU crashes and antivirus conflicts, and points to an upcoming 1.3.6 patch; see the official Steam notice.
The bulletin lists a few immediate problems, including an incorrectly worded ‘Nerve Infiltration’ module description that claims a ‘Weaken Regeneration’ effect which is not actually applied, and a Shop preview bug affecting Ultimate Descendant skins.
Players can still preview skins by hovering over bundle items and clicking the “Preview” button. It’s inconvenient. The developer says the module text will be corrected in 1.3.6.
Reports also single out crashes on some Intel 13th and 14th generation CPUs that may close the game with an “Out of video memory” error; adjusting power limits in the BIOS can partially help. Temporary steps for antivirus conflicts and Easy Anti-Cheat problems are listed in the notice.
