The patched v180 refines three core mechanics that define Live in Corruption:

In the original v180, if you pursued the "Rat King" side quest simultaneously with the main "Mayoral Blackmail" arc, the game would fail to register the completion of Day 6. You would wake up perpetually on Day 7 morning. The patched version inserts a conditional check that forces the time trigger to fire correctly.

Dirty Secret Studio optimizes primarily for NVIDIA cards. v180 unpatched caused widespread texture flickering on AMD Radeon RX 6000 and 7000 series. The patched version includes a fallback shader compiler that forces the game to run in DirectX 11 compatibility mode without requiring users to edit .ini files manually.
