Nexon Games has released Hotfix 1.2.19b for The First Descendant, addressing a display issue with Research Materials obtained from Amorphous Materials. The update is now available across all platforms including Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox consoles.
Research Materials Display Fix Now Live
Players of The First Descendant can now download the latest hotfix that resolves an issue preventing the proper display of 'Acquisition Info' for Research Materials obtained through Amorphous Materials. While this might seem like a minor fix, it addresses an important quality-of-life concern for players tracking their material sources.
The patch was released on May 29, 2025, at 21:40 PDT and has been deployed simultaneously across all supported platforms, ensuring a consistent experience regardless of where you play the free-to-play co-op shooter.
What Was the Issue?
Prior to this hotfix, players were unable to view the 'Acquisition Info' for Research Materials specifically obtained through Amorphous Materials. This information is crucial for efficient farming and resource management, especially for those focused on upgrading their Descendants and equipment.
For dedicated players working on endgame builds and optimizations, knowing precisely where materials come from can significantly streamline the grinding process, making this seemingly small fix quite important for the game's most committed community members.
Cross-Platform Availability
Hotfix 1.2.19b has been deployed across all platforms where The First Descendant is available, including:
- Steam (PC)
- Xbox Series X|S
- Xbox One
- PlayStation 5
- PlayStation 4
The update should automatically download the next time you launch the game, with minimal downtime required to install the patch. As this is a relatively small hotfix rather than a major content update, players can expect a quick download and installation process.
While Nexon Games continues to address technical issues through these smaller patches, players are eagerly anticipating news of larger content updates that might introduce new Descendants, missions, or gameplay features to the cooperative shooter experience.
