Version 1.6.1 RC1 Released

Persistence & Quality

Version 1.6.1 is a focused quality update built on the complete Version 1.6.0 Fracture Nexus release. It does not add a new chapter, Job family, major mode or balance tier. Its purpose is to protect long-term progression, make large accounts easier to use and consolidate the game's reference tools.

• Normalizes supported values after migration and again immediately before serialization.
• Routes reward currencies and materials through capped, idempotent grant paths.
• Extends protection against duplicate reward materialization after reload.
