Regarding the Steam Game Client Issue



Greetings Adventurers,

After the update on March 23, we discovered an issue where the game client will sometimes unexpectedly close at the loading screen.

Until a definitive solution is found, please follow the steps below to resolve this issue:

1. Open the game launcher via Steam
2. On the game launcher, click the "Scan Files" button
* Please keep in mind this may take some time to complete as it will scan your game files and redownload files that are damaged or corrupted.



We apologize for any inconveniences this might have caused.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
