Summary (AI)
Ascend to ZERO's patch 0.16.0 reintroduces the leaderboard, now segmented by difficulty with support for multiple difficulty entries per player. The maximum level has been significantly increased in response to player optimization, with unauthorized methods potentially resulting in leaderboard bans. Weapon DPS display on the Final Result screen has been adjusted to prevent overlapping numbers. Several stability and UI issues have been fixed, including problems with guide interaction and volume settings, while known issues with windowed mode visuals and enemy behavior on Stage 4 remain.
Tip: expand all for quick scanning.
