People reported an issue with the Code Vein II Character Customization saved appearance data disappearing in both the Character Creator demo and full game, and Bandai Namco said a fix is in the works. It confirmed on social media that it is aware of the problem. While there are patches 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 live, they don’t fix the issue yet and it is present during the advanced access period for Deluxe and Ultimate Edition owners.
The problem with Character Customization save data disappearing happens if someone resumes a Code Vein II file by choosing to either load a save or hitting continue. If they do that and then enter System settings or Photo Mode anytime after without first going to the MagMell Hot Spring’s Dresser and going into Character Customization, you will lose your modifications. However, the company noted that making one of the first things you do after loading going to the Dresser and double-checking your appearance will keep the issue from happening. If you do that first, then you can use Photo Mode or adjust System settings without any issues.
Meanwhile, the 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 patches do add new gameplay elements and should be downloaded before playing. One element is Regional Pathos that gives you buffs by going to Pathos in the field. The other is a Buddy action called Restorative Offering that will restore your health.
Here’s the Code Vein II launch trailer, in case you missed it:
Code Vein II will come to the PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC on January 30, 2026, though advanced access already started and a Character Creator demo is live now.
