Possible unstable performance fixes

For the PS5 version of the game, unstable framerate may be improved by using the "Rebuild Database" option from the device’s safe mode.

To fix this issue, please verify the integrity of the game's files before restarting the game.

Regulation Ver. 1.13.1
In PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S versions, Regulation files can be downloaded by logging in to the server.

Summoning Torrent after they have died, when you get asked if you want to use a flask to resurrect; the selection is now automatically on 'OK' not 'Cancel'.
Small change, but still useful during the excitement and chaos of a Boss or Dragon fight.

[zeratulcraft]

Now to break the muscle memory of moving to OK each time.

[鳳凰院 凶真]

As a swiftslash user I understand why they nerfed it, but now it is a completely useless skill. It really became F tier garbage ash of war like 80% of all other skills in game. It has twice lower travel distance and it is no more "swift" because of higher cooldown.
I knew they will do this so I switched to mage build for PVP, but I don't understand their intention to ruin all fun.

[The Void]

Steam-only adjustments
Fixed a bug where “Anti-aliasing Quality” was unintentionally set to “High” each time the game was restarted.

2 years, but they finally fixed it

[Zetheros]

[DDVaMpZzz]

Also same kind of QoL:
* Changed the NPC summon signs in certain boss fights to allow the user to summon NPCs simply by pressing the action button once.

However:
* Fixed a bug where NPCs could be summoned when the maximum number of cooperative multiplayer members had been reached.

I guess this means you weren't supposed to be able to summon the NPCs while having 2 friends joining you.

[Bladez_Overlord]

Definitely going to have the section that thinks using spirit ashes is cheating mad at the buff to all but mimic tear.

[Weedsmell]

''Changed the default selection of the OK / CANCEL prompt that shows up when using the “Spectral Steed Whistle” while the spectral steed is dead. The default selection position is now OK''

[Im so hungry, it drivEs Me crAZy]

"Will no longer stagger as easily". What exactly does that mean? Does the ashes get less staggered or can they stagger their enemies less than before?
