Dear Rovers,
\n
To bring you exciting new content and a better gaming experience, we will soon be conducting the update maintenance for Version 3.8: Lilies in a Dying Dream.
\n
During the maintenance, you will be unable to log in to the game, so please plan your time accordingly. Additionally, due to the large size of the update, we recommend updating the game while connected to a Wi-Fi network. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
\n

※Pre-download may not be possible if your device does not have enough spare storage space. To ensure there is sufficient storage space for resource integration during the update maintenance, a certain amount of space must be reserved. If the reserved space is insufficient, the update maintenance will not be completed.
\n
※After the update maintenance is complete, the extra space used for the resources merging process will be automatically freed up.

\n
※You can continue playing the game while the pre-downloading process is ongoing. The process can be paused at any time. Whether it is complete or not, the update maintenance will speed up to a certain degree when initiated.
\n
※Please ensure that you have a stable network connection during the pre-downloading process.

[About Limited Test for Categorized Resource Downloads and Resource Cleanup on PC]
\n
✦Feature Overview
\n
Categorized Resource Downloads: When downloading game resources through the PC launcher, in addition to the Tiered Client Resource Downloads options—UHD, HD, and SD—you can choose between two package sizes: Full and Basic. Select Full to download the majority of the available game resources in one go, with the remaining resources to be downloaded after you enter the game, or select Basic to download only the resources required to launch the game.
\n
※If you select and download the Basic option, any additional required resources will be downloaded automatically based on your account's current progress after you enter the game.
\n
 
\n
Resource Cleanup: When your account contains cutscenes and environment assets that you have watched or experienced, you can go to Settings > Other > Resource Cleanup to check the size of the cleanable files and select to remove them to free up disk space.
\n
 
\n
✦Test Participants and Schedule
\n
PC (※Official Launcher): We will soon (during Version 3.7) make a PC launcher update available to some of the Rovers who have been granted test access, and gradually roll out the limited test for the aforementioned features.
\n
※The feature will also be gradually made available on PC platforms with non-official launchers after the test concludes. Please stay tuned for announcements on these platforms.
\n
 
\n
✦Notes
\n
- After the Version 3.8 Pre-download becomes available, Rovers who join the limited test during Version 3.7 will be able to try out the \"Categorized Resource Downloads\" feature on PC upon updating the launcher. You can select either the Full or Basic resource package on the pre-download screen.
\n
- For Rovers not participating in the limited test, your experience in the current version will not be affected, and the Full resource package will be downloaded by default during the Version 3.8 Pre-download.
\n
※Please note that Resource Cleanup is a feature accompanying Categorized Resource Downloads; you must participate in the limited test to use this feature in-game.
