Version: 1.0.21.23831 Update Time: January 14, 2026 16:00 (UTC+8) What to Know Before Patch Installation The patch size is approximately 2.0 GB. However, due to the platform's update mechanism, your computer will need to reserve a certain amount of free disk space (not necessarily on the same disk) for temporary storage of the update files. If you have installed any mods in the game, installing the patch may cause compatibility issues. This could prevent you from launching the game, corrupt your save files, cause mods to malfunction, or trigger error pop-ups during gameplay. We recommend uninstalling the installed mods and verifying the integrity of the game files before restarting the game. If you encounter unusually large update sizes during patch installation, or if the game gets stuck, crashes, or fails to start after installation, please refer to the Installation/Patch FAQ on our official website.
