This is an unofficial fan guide. Patch behavior and any later fixes can change, so use the official patch notes for your installed game version.
The Fields of Mistria update v1.0.2 adds hairstyles, translations, home exteriors, quality-of-life changes, and bug and crash fixes in official patch notes. NPC Studio describes the patch as containing quality-of-life updates as well as bug and crash fixes. The collected post also says the team is working on additional performance and graphical optimizations. Read the notes that match your installed version before expecting a particular fix.
New hairstyles and translations
The official v1.0.2 notes say new hairstyles were added to the default menu and Vera's stall. They also say translations were added in French, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. Those are patch-note statements, not a claim that every text string or platform setting has been updated identically. Current language availability and any opt-in requirements are To be confirmed in the game and storefront.
Home exterior requirement
The collected notes say the carpenter's shop and the player's home must both be fully upgraded to unlock the new home exteriors. That is a specific condition from the official post. It does not establish every material, price, or cosmetic option without reading the current in-game menu. Check your upgrade state before treating an exterior as missing or bugged.
Fixes and balance notes
The post says the Time Flies achievement now works as intended and that monster item drop rates in the final Mine biome were adjusted. It also refers to bug and crash fixes, but a short article should not invent a claim that every reported problem is resolved. Performance and graphics work was still ongoing when the page was collected. Keep your game updated and report reproducible issues through the current official support channel.
Keep the version in view
Patch notes are version-specific. A later update can change a listed feature, replace a workaround, or add a regression fix that makes older advice obsolete. Compare your title-screen version with the official post before following a troubleshooting step. Any change after v1.0.2 is To be confirmed here until it is added from a supplied source.
