Dear Detectives,
Welcome to Identity V!
To ensure smooth operation, Identity V will issue a hotfix on March 16, 2023, 08:00 (UTC+8).
- This week's maintenance will be replaced by a hotfix. The hotfix will begin at 08:00 on March 16, 2023 (UTC+8), during which most of the game modes will remain available, including Quick Match, Custom Mode, Events, and Logic Path. (Note: The entrance to Ranked Match will be closed temporarily during the hotfix. However, Ranked Matches already in progress will not be affected.)
- After 10:30 (UTC+8), players will have to exit the game to receive the latest patch. All game modes will be back online once the latest patch is installed (may be subject to postponement should there be any issues).
- If there are still players who haven't installed the latest patch after 11:00 (UTC+8), the server will perform a forced update. During this time, these players will be forced to log out, and they will be able to play again once the game client is restarted (may be subject to postponement should there be any issues).

[Battle]
- Night Watch is now available in Ranked Matches.

- Improved Night Watch's camera turning sensitivity when casting "Windwalk - Charge" so that the direction is more in line with the player's expectation.

- Shortened the judgment of Night Watch's charged attack so that it's more in line with his actions.
- "The Ripper" will remain in Hidden in Mist state when destroying Flashlights and Music Boxes.

[Experience Improvements]
- Improved the collision logic for Night Watch when using "Windwalk - Charge" and drawing in Survivors with "Tempest - Cyclone" to avoid glitching.
- Edited the description for the talent, Hunt, to align with its actual effect.
[Bug Fixes]

- Fixed an issue where Wildling would get stuck into scene objects after using Bump in some situations.
- Fixed an issue in the Lakeside Village where Acrobat could use Bomb to jump through the wooden cabin's wall.
- Fixed an issue where the Talent interface would close when spectating Hermit while the Hermit connected Cipher Machines.
- Fixed an issue where the Sculptor couldn't merge the Sculpture of Nobility in some situations.
- Fixed an issue where, when the Hunter lost connection and reconnected after attacking the Decoy's illusion, the illusion would be destroyed abnormally and the Hunter's outline would have graphical errors.
- Fixed an issue where some control abilities would lead to incorrect Recall locations when Survivors used Euphoria.
Penalties for Violations
It has recently come to our attention that a small number of players have been found guilty of delaying tactics, intentionally losing, non-participation, negative play, using cheats, cheating in Blackjack mode, and hindering matchmaking for top-ranked matches, all of which significantly affect the experience of other players. We have started punishing the corresponding violations in order to provide a healthy gaming environment for everyone. We also encourage you to use the in-game reporting system to provide us with feedback when encountering negative behavior. Let us work together to maintain order and integrity in the Manor.
