Adventurers,

On the basis of yesterday's update, we have fixed some bugs that will affect the game experience. Thank you for your support since the game was released, we are still collecting and recording other problems you have encountered, and every piece of your feedback is very important to us. If there is any progress in our optimization and repair, we will inform you as soon as possible.

[h3]Special Note: Solved the problem that the game could not be opened due to the conflict of the third-party input method.[/h3]

[h3]Special Note: Players using a laptop may display an integrated graphics card in the game, but in fact the game uses a discrete graphics card by default. This is a text display error, we will fix it as soon as possible. In addition, please turn on the power when playing, otherwise the system may automatically adjust to power saving mode, and then frame drops will occur.[/h3]

[h3]Anti-stuck: Press and hold the [number 0] on the keyboard or the [left menu key] on the handle to return to the previous save point.[/h3]

2. Fix the problem that the fan failed to start in the ancient ruins [Light Wheel of Time].

3. Fix and update the translation errors in some places.

[h3]Game experience adjustments:[/h3]

Update of KAKU: Ancient Seal on May 5

Adventurers,

The Early Access version of KAKU: Ancient Seal has just launched on Steam. We have collected a lot of feedback about the game, and we have already fixed some issues. We will continue to work on bug fixes and gameplay enhancements throughout the Early Access campaign. Additionally, we’ve recorded the problems of optimization mentioned by some players, and are working hard to solve them. If there’s any progress regarding the aforementioned issues, we will update and inform everyone as soon as possible.

[h3]Game experience adjustments:[/h3]

1. Added visual effects to the Crystal Tower and Star Altar; now it is easier to find the location of the Crystal Tower and Star Altar.

2. Cancel the original loop playback interval of BGM; now BGM will not disappear suddenly.

3. Added danger prompts for monsters; when you face monsters that are far stronger than you, danger prompts will appear.

4. Adjust the killing rewards of golden monsters; after killing, they will drop【Essence of Health】and【Essence of Stamina】.

5. Optimize monster killing rewards; as the difficulty of different areas rises, the drops will increase.

6. In the last area of each continent, the difficulty of fighting monsters decreases. The detailed areas are as follows: 【Stalagmite Pond】【Mushroom Forest】【Paya Volcano - Crater】【Paya Volcano - Abyss】【Wolf Snowfield】【Sandglass Glacier】【Howling Stone Forest】【Valley of Despair】【Black Dragon Valley】【Eternal Highlands】.

7. Optimize the display distance of vegetation.

Solution for unable to open the game or low frame rate

When checking the comment areas of various platforms, we found that some players have problems with the game not opening, black screen, or low frame rate of mid-to-high-end graphics cards.

We are continuing to track the problem and will continue to work hard to optimize it. At present, it has been found that the low frame rate may be caused by the wrong use of the graphics card.

[h3]Special Notice:[/h3]
Based on our testing, third-party input methods may potentially conflict with the game. Before playing the game, please switch the input method application to the default input method provided by your system. We are working to resolve the conflict and will notify everyone as soon as we have any updates.

[h3]Special Notice:[/h3]
If the game is installed on HDD, it may be slow to load when you open the game for the first time due to the HHD read speed problem, so you need to wait patiently. We are already trying to optimize, thank you for your understanding.

Players who encounter problems can try the following methods. If the problem still cannot be solved, you are welcome to give feedback on our Discord server or in the Steam community.

[h3]Changing graphics card settings to use your dedicated GPU on a Windows computer[/h3]

The following is a good guide for how to get this done:

[h3]NVIDIA Graphics Cards[/h3]

1. For NVIDIA cards, click on Adjust Image Settings with Preview, select Use my preference emphasizing: Performance and click Apply.

2. Click on Manage 3D Settings and open the drop down menu for Global Settings. Select the High-performance NVIDIA processor as your preferred graphics processor and click Apply.

3. Open the drop down menu for Program Settings and click Add. Search for the Serato Video application

(The location for earlier versions is C:/Program Files(x86) / Common Files / Serato / Serato Video / Serato Video)

(The location for newer versions is C:/Program Files(x86) / Common Files / Serato / Serato DJ / Serato Video)

And double click to select it. Open the drop down menu and select the High-performance NVIDIA processor as the preferred graphics processor for this program and click Apply. Do the same for your host Serato software also - Scratch Live, Serato DJ or ITCH.)

4. Click on Set PhysX configuration, open the drop down menu and select your NVIDIA card (the name is dependent on your exact card) as the PhysX processor. Click Apply and you are done.

Re-start your computer and open your Serato software and Serato Video to test. If you can't open Serato Video and still get the message that you are using an Intel graphics card, you may need to go towww.nvidia.com and download the latest drivers.

[h3]ATI/AMD Radeon Cards[/h3]
NOTE: There is a huge variation in versions of the ATI/AMD Radeon Catalyst Control Center for adjusting the settings for these cards so the following should be seen more as indicative than actual. Even if your Control Center looks different to these images, the principles are the same and you should be able to find similar options to those described here.

1. For ATI/AMD Radeon cards, go to Graphics > PowerPlay - Set Plugged In and Battery to Maximum Performance. Click Apply.

2. If applicable to your graphics card, go to Graphics > 3D and move the slider across to Performance so it is set for Optimal Performance. Click Apply. NOTE: This function might not be available on all ATI models.

3. If your Catalyst Control Center has the Switchable Graphics tab go there and browse to locate seratovideo.exe and set it for High Performance. Click Apply. Do the same for your host Serato software also - Scratch Live, Serato DJ or ITCH.

(The Serato Video location for earlier versions is C:/Program Files(x86) / Common Files / Serato / Serato Video / Serato Video.)

(The Serato Video location for newer versions is C:/Program Files(x86) / Common Files / Serato / Serato DJ / Serato Video.)

Thanks again to all players who played "KAKU: Ancient Seal", and wish you all a pleasant gaming experience. We will continue to collect feedback and comments from various platforms, and reply to your questions as soon as possible.

2 Days left - Hot Questions Answered！

Adventurers,

Please check today's Elemental Land brief: 2 Days before the release of Kaku Ancient Seal on Steam Early Access.

Recently, we received many private questions from would-be adventurers, and decided to share our answers with all of you. Come and take a look!

[h3]What is the current form of release for the game?[/h3]

A: The game is currently released in the form of Early Access. Players who purchase the game during the Early Access stage can enjoy all subsequent updates for free, and their game will automatically update to the official version at no additional cost. When the official version of the game launches, there will be a price increase.

[h3]How much difference is there between the planned official version and the Early Access version?[/h3]

A: First of all, the core gameplay of the Early Access version will be consistent with the final release, but we plan to add more exploration, puzzle solving, and combat for the full launch. The added content is mainly to expand around the existing core gameplay.

Additionally, based on the feedback and suggestions from players during the Early Access period, we will optimize and improve the game, and there may be new game content added to the official version in the future.

[h3]What are the future update plans?[/h3]

A: We will have separate announcement notices for specific update plans.

[h3]Does the game support multiplayer online?[/h3]

A: Unfortunately, we will not be adding a multiplayer mode to the game. Our current plan is to make the game the best it can be as a single-player adventure, and we’re aiming to release the official version as soon as possible. Perhaps we can implement multiplayer in a future sequel though? Time will tell!

[h3]Does KAKU: Ancient Seal feature gamepad support?[/h3]

A: We offer gamepad support, but we haven't adapted and optimized different controllers yet. We plan to complete the adaptation and optimization of various controllers during the Early Access period.

[h3]Will there be a console version in the future?[/h3]

A: We plan to launch on console platforms in late 2023 or early 2024.

[h3]How do I report bugs encountered during gameplay?[/h3]

A: You can report bugs through our Twitter or Discord.

[h3]Can I play it with Steam Deck?[/h3]

A:Basically, it can run smoothly (note: lowering the light and shadow quality level will significantly improve the gaming experience). However, there are still some problems, and we will continue to optimize and adapt during the early access period.

The most important question: When will the early access version of KAKU: Ancient Seal be launched?

Answer: May 4 at 10 am (UTC+8), don't forget!
