How To Update Clair Obscur Expedition 33 with FitGirl Repack (2025)

If you’re trying to get the latest patch on the Clair Obscur Expedition 33 FitGirl Repack, you’re probably aware that updates can be a bit finicky sometimes. Whether it’s missing files, crashes, or broken save states, the update process isn’t always straightforward. This guide is here to help walk through a solid way to patch it up without running into those typical headaches. Basically, you’ll end up with the latest version V56289, with all fixes in place, and hopefully, no broken stuff.

Update Overview: Transitioning from Version B56180 to V56289

This update jumps from B56180 all the way to V56289, packing in bug fixes, performance tweaks, and probably some under-the-hood improvements. It’s critical to double-check which version you’re running—check this by right-clicking the game’s shortcut or executable, then select Properties > Details—before starting. This way you avoid overwriting stuff or applying the patch incorrectly.

How to Safely Apply the Update

Getting this update on isn’t rocket science, but some parts matter more than others—like choosing the right folder, and not rushing through the prompts. Here’s what usually works:

• Download the update files from the official source or trusted mirror (if you’re unsure, avoid sketchy links). Usually, it’s a compressed archive (.zip or .rar).
• Use WinRAR or 7-Zip to extract the archive somewhere convenient. Right-click the file, choose Extract Here or Extract to…
• Navigate to the folder where you extracted the files. You should see an installer or patch application—double-click it.
• If prompted for permissions, allow it by clicking Yes.
• When the installer launches, it’ll ask for the game folder—this is usually in C:\Games\ClairObscur or wherever you installed it. Be sure to select the correct folder.
• Proceed with the installation, and uncheck any options you don’t need if asked. Some patches try to install extra bloatware—just decline if you don’t want it.
• Once finished, run the game launcher to verify integrity. Many launchers have a “Verify Files” option now. If not, just launch the game to see if everything looks normal.

Checking the Version After Update

After the patch, it’s good to double-check that you did it right. Open the game, then go to Settings or About. Some games display version info in the main menu, or in a corner somewhere. If it says V56289, you’re good. If not, repeat the steps—sometimes the update doesn’t “take” if you pick the wrong folder or miss an overwrite.

Running the Game & What to Expect

Launching the game should now be smooth. On some setups, the first run post-update can be a little sluggish or ask for some configuration. That’s normal, and usually, it settles after a restart or two. If the game crashes or won’t launch, try running it in compatibility mode for Windows 10 or 8—sometimes older setups need that extra nudge.

Heads Up on Common Problems—And Tips

Watch out for broken save files or missing DLC if you didn’t back up. It’s always a good idea to copy your save folder somewhere safe before doing anything. Also, check if you need to update any cracked launcher or loader tools you’re using—sometimes those get broken with major updates.

And, on some setups, the patch fails the first time because of leftover files or permissions issues. Restarting your PC or running the patch as administrator often helps.

Potential Fixes If Things Go Wrong

If updates stall or cause errors, here are a few quick tricks:

• Close the game completely before patching.
• Run the patch as admin—right-click > Run as administrator.
• Make sure your antivirus isn’t blocking the patch files or game folder.
• If you see missing files after the update, compare the game folder with your backup or original files, and manually replace any missing ones.

A common gotcha: some patches overwrite or delete essential files if extracted wrongly, so be cautious about where you put things.
