Important Notes Before Updating
The update patch is approximately 5.7GB. Due to platform update mechanisms， your computer will require sufficient free disk space (not necessarily on the same drive) for temporary storage of update files.
If you have installed any mods in the game， you may encounter issues such as being unable to launch the game， corrupted save files， or encountering error pop-ups during gameplay after applying the update. This is due to potential MOD version incompatibility. If such issues arise， we recommend uninstalling any installed MODs， verifying the integrity of your game installation files， and then restarting the game.
If you experience abnormal update sizes during the patch installation， or encounter stuttering， crashing， or inability to launch the game after updating， please consult the FAQ section on the official website regarding game installation and patch updates.
This update may require shaders to be recompiled. If you experience crashes during shader compilation， please try restarting the game until compilation is complete， or consider skipping shader compilation. For more details， please refer to the FAQ on game graphical performance.
