Dear Navigators:
To provide a better gaming experience, we have completed a technical upgrade to the version update and maintenance process.
Starting with this update, [Season Switch] maintenance will be changed from the original [approximately 5-hour server downtime] model to a [zero-downtime maintenance] model.
During maintenance, you can still log into the game normally and participate in matches, but the servers may experience brief fluctuations. We appreciate your understanding.
One hour before the end of the old season, you will receive a [Season End Reminder] in the top right corner of the matchmaking page. From this moment until the new season begins, the game will enter the [Season Interim Period]. During this period, updates and calculations for your [Rank Points and Leaderboard data] will be temporarily paused. We recommend planning your playtime accordingly to avoid affecting your match experience.
After maintenance ends, the system will prompt you to [Update the Game]. Please follow the instructions to update the client to the latest version. After updating, you can log back in to experience the new content. If you log in via Steam or Epic, please return to the respective store page to check for and complete the update.
If you are in the middle of a match when maintenance ends, you will receive an [Update Prompt] after the match concludes. Your gaming experience will not be affected.
If you exit the game before maintenance ends and click [Update] to re-enter after maintenance, you may be unable to reconnect to your previous match. We recommend planning your playtime carefully to avoid impacting your match experience.
The maintenance duration may be adjusted based on actual circumstances. If an extension is needed, an advance notice will be posted on the official website. Thank you for your understanding.

This adjustment aims to provide clearer alignment between seasons, version updates, and event schedules, making it easier to track and understand related content. Note: This change only affects naming conventions and will not impact records, data, or rewards from previous seasons.
