DragonSword: Awakening Patch 1.0.2 — Graphics & Quest Crash Fixes
Last updated: August 2026
Official July 24, 2026 update fixing Frame Generation crashes, FPS Limit save bugs, Adventure Quest 29 softlocks, Veteran Promotion, and Ornette Bond Quest shutdowns.
Patch 1.0.2 Overview — July 24, 2026
Hound13 deployed Update Notes 1.0.2 on July 24 via Steam news, focusing on graphics stability and quest progression softlocks reported in the first 24 hours after launch. Chinese mirrors including 233乐园 published the full changelog the same evening. No new heroes or paid content shipped — this is a quality hotfix.
Graphics Options
- Fixed an issue where screen resolution became excessively small after verifying integrity of game files
- Fixed a crash that occurred when enabling the Frame Generation option
- Fixed an issue where changes to the FPS Limit setting were not saved
Players who hit start-up crashes after changing graphics should still keep the GameUserSettings.ini workaround handy if symptoms persist after updating. Re-enable Frame Generation only after confirming a stable boot.
Quests
- Fixed Adventure Quest 29 so alternate characters can be used
- Fixed Adventure Quest 29 so Scenario Mode lifts correctly on death
- Fixed a bug that blocked the Veteran Promotion Quest
- Fixed Area Quest Novice Mercenary Dain so the bag can be interacted with after re-accepting a failed attempt
- Fixed a shutdown during abnormal play in Ornette's Bond Quest
Other
Several additional crash cases were patched without public stack traces. After updating, verify game files once through Steam, then resume stuck promotion or Bond quests from the quest log. Pair this page with Patch 1.0.3 for World Boss reset and Intermediate Promotion door fixes that followed the same day.
