• Screen Freezing in Private Rooms: Resolved an issue where canceling the matching process as the host in a private room could cause a guest’s game screen to freeze under certain conditions.

• Operation Start Circle Issue: Fixed a problem where multiple players attempting to interact with the same Contribution Start Circle in a Co-op Room couldn’t set themselves to "READY."

• Reinforcements in Contribution Mission: Addressed a situation where enemy reinforcements failed to appear in a Contribution Mission during online multiplayer, hindering mission completion.

• Progression Blocked by Natalia’s Sentence: Fixed an issue where the screen would darken, blocking progression, when a sentence for Natalia was added during the solitary confinement scene.

• Repeating Operations: Resolved a glitch where certain special operations would persist on the Contribution list after completion, leading to unintentional repeats.
