Dear Cultivators, greetings! The major update for Tale of Immortal - Destiny and Eccentrics will officially launch on December 26th (PT)!

[h2]Regarding the MODs[/h2]

Many of you are concerned about the compatibility of MODs with the upcoming update. We’ve done everything in our power to address potential conflicts between MODs and the main game. While we are actively resolving these issues, our team has limited resources, so some MODs may not be compatible immediately. In such cases, we kindly ask for your patience and understanding as updates from MOD creators may be required.

[h2]Major Features in This Update[/h2]



1. Three New “Destiny” Level Traits
Players will be able to acquire three new top-tier destiny traits from the moment they step into the Tale of Immortal world. These include:
- Soul Reaver
- Lotus Sword's Will
- Spirit Sight
These traits will become a core part of your journey, growing alongside you and providing significant support.

2. New NPC: Eccentrics
The world of Tale of Immortal will now feature Eccentrics（Unique Cultivators）with distinct personalities. These NPCs will intervene in your journey in surprising and sometimes extreme ways, offering new thrills or challenges.

[h2]New DLC and Digital Artbook[/h2]



We’re excited to announce the release of two new additions:
1. DLC: "Five Blooms"
This DLC introduces five NPC characters you can build bonds with. Each character brings their own unique and vibrant storyline. Unlike regular quest NPCs, these characters live within the open world. Whether or not you choose to intervene in their journeys is entirely up to you.

2. Digital Artbook: BaHuang Chronicles
Based on the crowdfunded UCG physical edition, this digital artbook features custom pages dedicated to eight divine artifacts. Players can interact with the pages, listen to their stories, and revisit the adventures you’ve shared together. We hope this artbook will be cherished by fans of the game.

【Version 1.1.105 Update Notes】
1. Fixed an issue where font sizes were abnormal on certain interfaces in PC mode.
2. Fixed an issue with low frame rates when opening certain interfaces.

In addition to the lag issue that has already been fixed, there is another type of lag that may occur due to certain mods becoming incompatible after updates. This can result in errors being written into the registry, causing slow game startup and lag during gameplay. We have already made some updates to improve mod compatibility. You can try the following solution to address this issue (please back up the registry folder before proceeding. This process is generally safe and does not affect the game itself, but if a mod has a bug or a modded save file appears corrupted, you may need to restore the registry):

Open "Registry Editor" on Windows and paste the following path into the address bar to locate the guigubahuang registry folder:
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\guigugame\guigubahuang

Right-click and select "Export" to create a backup of the registry file.

Once the backup is secured, right-click and delete this registry folder. Then check if the lag issue is resolved.

If the lag persists at the same level after the update, you can choose to send us both your registry file and game save data for further investigation. You can export your save data via the "Export" button in the game's main menu and email it to us at: [email protected]. We will analyze your save data and registry to identify factors contributing to the lag and aim to address them in future updates.

We are also actively investigating which specific mod is causing these errors. However, resolving the issue entirely may require updates from the mod authors themselves.
