Previously, players were experiencing issues such asBloodstained: Ritual of the Nightnot loading when using Windows 7 or 8, as well as a number of bugs with Classic Mode such asBloodstained’s protagonist Miriamwalking in the wrong direction after a certain encounter, a small glitch with Gebel, some instances of bosses and enemies not moving, and the score looping to a negative number after maxing out.
But the biggest fixes ArtPlay has initiated withthe recent update toBloodstainedis a final update to randomizer seeds that addresses a previous issue that invalidated seeds, but this also means some started or saved after Version 1.20 may not work following 1.21. Additionally, players should no longer experience crashing during New Game+.
