Patch 1.00.03 adds hotkeys and a chest at Howling Hill

Pearl Abyss shipped patch 1.00.03. Movement on pad and keyboard was adjusted, food and items heal more, and the Howling Hill camp gained a stash. On PlayStation, crashes in the map menu were fixed.

Hotkeys arrived for inventory, map, skills and journal, so a separate mod for those is no longer required. Guard and aim sit on side button 1, dodge on side button 2. The corner prompt updates during a block and while aiming. Movement input is kept while using Axiom Force.

Visually, effects on some NPCs were fixed, as was a bad image when FSR Ray Regeneration or DLSS Ray Reconstruction was on, and the reset of resolution and scale after a restart. The game is better at seeing a discrete graphics card next to an integrated one, and cards on older Windows 10 builds. This patch still does not promise Intel Arc. Ambushes on the way to the Reed Devil boss are easier, some enemies lost health and damage, and blocking spends less stamina.
