Hunt-a-thon: In the lobby for the first hunt, the “Join hunt!” notification is now automatically sent to nearby hunters. (Excluding when in a Party)
Hunt-a-thon: The countdown for waiting for other hunters will no longer reset, when returning from the Equipment screen to the lobby.
Material deletion has been improved. A confirmation screen will now be displayed when attempting to delete materials of Rarity 4 or higher in the Item Box. Additionally, if a network error occurs when trying to delete materials, you will now be returned to the previous screen.
Screen rendering performance has been improved. The app is smoother to play, even when rendering at 60 fps or when the image quality is increased. You can adjust the rendering and graphics quality in the settings menu.
[Android only] Gyro functionality has been improved. It is now less affected by magnetic interference from external devices or magnets, resulting in increased stability.

Sword and Shield: Charged slash may not hit
Long Sword: Difficulty in Landing Helm Breaker
