Here are the full patch notes for Phantom Blade Zero's Version 1.0302256 update.

New Features

Added “Hit Sound Intensity” and “Hit Impact Sound Intensity” options to the audio settings.
[PC] Added support for remapping “Interact / Talk” for both keyboard and controller.

Improvements and Adjustments

Improved performance in certain areas.
Adjusted the combat behavior of certain bosses and enemies, along with the functionality of certain environmental mechanisms.
Reduced the frequency of grab attacks used by Hua, Deadly Betrothed on Wayfarer and Pathbreaker difficulties. Other difficulty settings are unaffected.
Improved weapon hit feedback and adjusted the volume of certain sound effects and dialogue.
Updated weapon descriptions, certain skill descriptions, and controller button icons.
[PC] Updated the shader compilation process to significantly reduce startup times. Ray tracing shaders will no longer be compiled by default at startup. Players who previously had Ray Tracing disabled will need to recompile shaders on their first launch after installing this patch. This is a one-time process and should take only a short time. Players who previously had Ray Tracing enabled can start playing without recompiling shaders. If you enable Ray Tracing in the settings, the required ray tracing shaders will be compiled separately the next time you restart the game.
[PC] Reduced stuttering that could occur when using a controller connected via Bluetooth.
[PC] NVIDIA Reflex now works when set to “Auto” with V-Sync enabled.

Bug Fixes
