Krafton has released hotfix v0.1.5 for Inzoi, bringing significant improvements to the Build Mode camera system and introducing enhanced shadow effects that dramatically improve the game's visual fidelity.
Build Mode Camera Overhaul and Lighting Enhancements
The v0.1.5 update (version 20250414.2252.W), released on April 15, 2025, at 10:00 AM UTC, addresses several player concerns while adding new visual features to the life simulation title. Players will immediately notice the improved Build Mode camera, which now offers smoother movement and rotation in the default view, alongside a new free camera option with WASD controls for more precise building.
Perhaps the most visually striking change comes from the new shadow casting system. The update introduces three distinct shadow options that significantly enhance character appearance and environmental immersion:
- Streetlight shadows (enabled by default) - Creates natural shadows beneath streetlights at night
- Furniture lighting shadows - Allows individual control of shadow casting from ceiling lights and floor lamps
- Realistic shadow option - Enhances overall shadow quality and detail
These lighting improvements create more realistic environments, with characters now casting proper shadows both outdoors and indoors. Krafton has indicated that further shadow and lighting enhancements are scheduled for Summer 2025 as part of a planned engine update.
Extensive Bug Fixes Across Multiple Systems
The hotfix addresses numerous issues that players have encountered since Inzoi's March 28 launch. Critical fixes include resolving save errors that prevented gameplay resumption, improving Zoi lifespan variation to avoid repetitive deaths at identical ages, and fixing object persistence when reverting to default lots.
Several ambition-related bugs have been corrected, including goal completion issues in the "Notorious Villain" and "Pursuit of Love" ambitions, along with fixes to community contribution tracking and lot price display for the "Financial Success" ambition.
What other improvements does the update include?
Career progression beyond the second rank in non-interactive careers now functions properly, and various interaction issues have been addressed, including the removal of Karma requirements for animal feeding and fixes for conversation interactions while Zois are in vehicles.
UI/UX improvements include better sorting of player-created households, fixed furniture crafting interfaces, corrected camera controls, and resolved Canvas upload functionality issues.
Hardware Compatibility Warning
Notably, the update adds a crash warning popup for users with Intel 13th and 14th generation CPUs due to compatibility issues. Players experiencing crashes with these processors can find more information in the official FAQ.
Krafton recommends that players adjust shadow settings according to their system specifications, as the new visual features may impact performance on some hardware configurations.
