Special Notes:

• To tweak the default display settings, press and hold CTRL while the client is loading. You can then set the main display, desired resolution and rendering quality.

• We'll also provide a 32 bit version of the client on a "Best Effort" basis - you can use it and it is expected to work normally, but we couldn't test it on actual 32 bit test machines like we did with the 64 bit version.

Thank you for every Vanguard and playtester for their valuable feedbacks!
