We have released a hotfix to address issues identified after the update on Dec 19.

The hotfix was deployed without any scheduled maintenance, so it will be applied automatically when you install the latest version of the client.

• Fixed an issue where "Airing (Ego)" appeared selectable on the \[DB Select] screen even if the “sasakure.UK :: TJ.hangneil” DLC was not owned.

• Fixed an issue where the jacket image for “神威 (PLATiNA :: LAB Remix)” was incorrectly displayed even when the track was locked and the “sasakure.UK :: TJ.hangneil” DLC was not owned.

• Fixed a description error for the second mission of the Research Notes Entry “World’s Edge Exploration Log”.

  • BEFORE: [c]Hit a total of 3,390 GREAT judgments on any song.[/c]

  • AFTER: [c]Hit a total of 3,390 GREAT or better judgments on any song.[/c]

• Fixed an issue where the popup message notifying the automatic selection and start of the Research Note Entry “World’s Edge Exploration Log” was displayed incorrectly after launching the game.

• Added sound effects to the \[New Content Unlocked] screen.

We sincerely appreciate your continued support for PLATiNA :: LAB.

We would like to inform you about the latest update that was implemented on Friday, December 19.

• Unlock Requirements

  • Existing Decoders: The \[Affection] system will unlock immediately after completing 1 song post-update.

• Increasing Affection

  • \[Affection Points] for your currently selected DB increases upon successfully completing a song.

  • The amount of \[Affection Points] earned is proportional to the song length and your play performance. The better your performance or the longer the track, the faster your relationship with the DB will progress.
