The answer first
On August 7, the developer acknowledged seven launch issues. Official patch v1.0.009r followed on August 11. The launch list included firmware failures for Guitar Legend and MyPod, competition inventory access, IDM disassembly, mail indicators, UltraWide disassembly, sonic-bath traps, and two achievements unlocking early. This page does not assume every item is resolved: compare the current patch notes and retest the exact symptom.

Known Issues checklist
- Match the exact symptom against the official issue table below.
- Open the official news page and look for a newer dated patch post.
- Check the technical forum for the same device or mode, but treat replies as observations.
- Preserve your save and avoid repeating a blocked sequence based only on an unverified comment.
- After a patch, retest once and record the game build/date before reporting the outcome.
What is verified
- The game launched on August 6, 2026.
- The developer published a seven-item known-issues list on August 7.
- Official patch v1.0.009r was published on August 11, 2026.
What needs more evidence
- This page does not claim that every launch issue was fixed by v1.0.009r without an item-level patch note or current-version check.
- Forum replies and generic PC optimization pages are not verified fixes.
- Issues outside the official list remain player reports unless the developer confirms them.
Why this is a status page, not a fix list
The official posts confirm the launch problems and the first formal patch, but they do not make every community workaround universal. A dated “known at launch; recheck the current build” answer is safer than recycling generic PC advice or presenting a forum guess as a solution.
How this page changes after the first update
Each row should move only when an official patch note identifies the fix or a current-version verification confirms the new behavior. Old issue text should remain dated rather than silently disappearing.
Problems not on the official list
Airbrush crashes, paint controls, story blockers, missing licenses, and other forum topics are demand signals, not confirmed universal defects. Use the technical forum to compare symptoms and wait for an official acknowledgment before making a broad claim.
