Please make sure to update before this time.
We have included information regarding inquiries at the end of this notice, so please read through to the end.

■Affected Players
All players
■Details
Stability improvements
- Improvements to memory usage
- Reworked the memory dumping processing for the map during battles
■Future Adjustment to Address Stability Issues
We have identified several areas we believe to be causing the stability issues. See below for details.
●Server
We have looked into server performance and have not found any evidence that the servers are causing issues with stability.
●Areas That May Be Causing Issues
➀ Rapid loading of graphics for battle effects, buildings, etc.
② Memory of images outside the visual display area being retained
③ Storage of information of other player actions during team matches
④ Accumulation of unnecessary data as a result of participating in multiple matches back to back
In this update, we are mainly focused on addressing ②; however, we will make adjustments to alleviate the other issues going forward.
We intend to work on optimization of the entire game to improve stability. Specifically, we intend to maximize memory performance for iOS 15 and future iOS versions. We also intend to expand the options for graphic quality settings and other game environments settings such as battle effects.
We plan to implement the above updates before 2/16. Once we have more information on these points, we will issue a further update notice. (We plan to undertake maintenance to make these adjustments.)
It will require time for us to identify each of the problems causing stability issues and resolve them, but we would like to reassure players that we are dedicated to fixing these issues and improving the overall experience of FINAL FANTASY VII THE FIRST SOLDIER.
