Summary (AI)

Patch 1.0.4 for CODE VEIN II reduces model processing load for some enemies and resolves frame rate drops after fast traveling. Player control responsiveness and action timings, including evasion and item usage, have been improved, alongside adjustments to attack speeds, poise, and enemy stagger resistance for better combat balance. Several issues affecting boss behaviors, partner support skills, equipment functionality, and dungeon navigation have been fixed. Additional fixes address animation, graphical, sound, and UI inconsistencies, as well as various stability and collision problems. The update also adds the new accessory "Bangs" and modifies player movement animations and sound effects.
