Hello, this is the developer.

This patch retroactively unlocks achievements you'd already qualified for but weren't getting, and fixes the Ice tree's enemy spawn issue along with a UI clipping problem.

If you have Re:Blade installed, the update downloads automatically — just restart the game.

First, thank you to everyone who kept reporting that achievements weren't unlocking properly.

Some achievements you'd already earned early on (Armory tier unlocks, Awakening, Relics, Badges, etc.) weren't unlocking.

Because achievements were only checked "at the exact moment the condition was met," players who had already finished that progress before the achievement was added stayed locked even though they qualified.

Examples:

• Already unlocked a Tier 2 Armory, but the achievement didn't unlock
  
• Killed plenty of monsters, but the cumulative kill achievement didn't unlock

After this update, when you restart the game, it re-checks your current ownership and progress and automatically unlocks any achievements you've already qualified for, retroactively.

Retroactively applied to:

• Armory tier unlocks
  
• Awakening (First Awakening / 2nd Awakening / Awakening Level / Awakening Master)
  
• Relics (First Relic / Relic Collection)
  
• Badges (First Upgrade / Highest Tier)
  
• First Growth & Enlightenment upgrade
  
• Cumulative kills (100 / 500 / 1,000 / 2,000)

• Armory achievements — unlocking any weapon within that Armory now counts as reaching the tier. (Previously only specific weapons counted, which caused some to be missed.)
  
• Cumulative kill achievements — your accumulated kill record (based on the Monster Compendium) is now reflected, so you don't have to start killing from scratch.

How to apply
No action needed — just restart the game and it applies automatically. The achievement unlock notifications may take a little while to appear.

Fixed an issue where enemies weren't spawning in enough numbers when using the Ice tree.

Symptoms:

• Enemies staying below 10 for about 20 seconds during Ice tree runs
  
• The symptom carrying over after retrying, leaving you short on enemies from the start

Fixes:

• Improved so enemies are topped up immediately when the count runs low
  
• Fixed so enemy spawns aren't dropped
  
• Adjusted so spawn throughput stays consistent even at low frame rates
  
• Fixed so enemy spawning always resets properly when restarting a battle

Fixed an issue where buff displays like crit chance were getting clipped off the right edge of the screen, only partly visible. Buffs now display fully within the screen.

The "Show Damage" option in Settings used to control only regular damage numbers — it now also turns off all text shown during battle.

• Before: When OFF, only regular damage numbers were hidden (Lucky / Relic / Back & Head Attack, etc. still showed)
  
• Now: When OFF, damage numbers + Lucky/Relic text + Back & Head Attack text + boss-related text + Awakening trigger displays are all hidden

→ If you want a clean battle screen with no text, one option now turns off all battle text.

Genuine thanks to every player who reported the achievement and Ice tree enemy-shortage issues in detail and shared setup info — that's what made it possible to track down the causes and fold them into this patch quickly.

If you notice anything else off, please leave a comment / post in the Discussions / drop a message in Discord — anywhere works. I'm reading everything.

See you in the Raid.

Hello, this is the developer.

This patch focuses on the frame hitches and load buildup that have been reported around Ice tree builds. Five main causes have been traced down and addressed step by step.

If you have Re:Blade installed, the update downloads automatically — just restart the game.

Reined in the load from Freeze + Hidden Awakening builds where the Ice explosion was multiplying on every hit.

• Capped explosion triggers at 8 per frame.
  
• No change to explosion damage or targets — the optimization is purely about how often it fires.

Cached the internal component lookups that were happening every time an Ice VFX played, removing that overhead.

Resolved the physics spikes that happened when many monsters died at once with the 100% on-kill respawn option.

• Instead of spawning synchronously at the moment of kill, spawns are now queued and spread across frames at a fixed budget.
  
• Highest impact on cases where Ice explosions wipe out a lot of monsters at the same time.

Disabled the hit animation on regular monsters, removing the compute overhead when many were getting hit at once.

• Hit feedback is unchanged — you still get the flash / sound / damage number / knockback.
  
• Boss monsters keep their existing hit reactions.

Resolved the UI update load that built up when a large number of XP orbs accumulated on screen.

• Capped on-screen XP orbs at 80.
  
• XP is still granted 100%. Anything beyond the cap is credited instantly without an orb showing — your actual EXP gain doesn't change.
