Patch 1.0.1 for Asterika: Phantom Rose Refrain arrived on September 4, 2026, a targeted response to bugs surfaced by early players. Developer makaroll — working alone — flagged the update as small in scope but attentive in focus.

What changed

  • Memory leak occurring during long play sessions has been improved
  • App performance improved on certain hardware
  • Settings and certain menus now work properly on Steam Deck
  • Controller input fixed in menus where it was previously unreliable
  • Rank Report UI no longer opens the wrong music track
  • Score result screen no longer incorrectly rounds results upward
  • Charge Drive sound can now be toggled off in the Settings menu

makaroll also notes that small stealth updates are deployed frequently between versioned patches, and recommends keeping the game current. Bug reports and feedback are directed to the game's official Discord.

For players who encountered any of these issues at launch, 1.0.1 should restore the experience to its intended state — and the developer's note that polish work continues alongside bug fixes suggests further refinements are in progress.
