Find the new hairstyles and localization updates
New hairstyles are available in the default customization menu and at Vera's stall. The patch presents this as a new art feature, so players looking for the added styles should update before checking both locations.
Additional translations were added for French, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese, with further Simplified Chinese revisions based on feedback. The notes also fix a localization-beta crash and a quest-log string that appeared as MISSING.

Check performance with game overlays
Performance was improved when other programs render in the same window as Fields of Mistria. The official example names AMD and Nvidia proprietary game overlays.
This is a bounded optimization rather than a guarantee for every hardware or overlay combination. The official known-issues section says additional performance and graphical optimization work was still underway, and recommends current graphics drivers as a first troubleshooting step.

Retry festival, home, and progression tasks
The Shooting Star Festival softlock was fixed. Animal Toys that were incorrectly treated as in use can now be removed with the pickaxe when they are actually free, and Landen's new home exterior letter should arrive after both the carpenter's shop and player home are fully upgraded.
The Animal Festival works for players whose birthday falls on Winter 10, the Bell Tower can no longer be entered through the named early-access glitch, and the Time Flies achievement should work as intended.
Review item, animal, Mine, and visual fixes
The patch prevents invalid Mimic feeding rewards, duplicate Big Eggs, accidental tool stacking, and the mystical feather dropping in the Dragonsworn Glade when inventory is full. Mimics also require the Friend Shaped perk before dropping pet skins, and final-Mine-biome monster drop rates were adjusted.
Visual and interaction fixes cover Caldarus's statue, children in date cutscenes, the Mines Elevator range, doorway collisions, Josephine's Harvest Festival dialogue, and mount footstep sounds. Beach-pier collision and general corner-sticking collision work are also listed.
Update before diagnosing listed crashes
The crash list includes animal sounds, destroying a ten-heart item while it restores stamina or health, certain wedding home configurations, mana use, IO errors, rapid Bell Tower ladder input, menu use on a mount, out-of-bounds Enchanterns, the Big Chicken mount unlock, Dragonshrine navigation, and rare startup cases.
