Hey everyone,

We hope you’ve been enjoying your time in Erdrea since DRAGON QUEST XI launched a few weeks ago!


Today we’ve released a free, downloadable update for DRAGON QUEST XI, and here are a list of improvements we’ve made to the game…

1. We’ve identified a bug which can sometimes cause the game to crash when the player is 300m away from their horse on the field, this has been fixed.
   
2. Players are now able to send log data to the DRAGON QUEST XI development team in cases where the game crashes.
   
3. Players are able to choose between three (Low, Medium, High) pre-set graphic settings before launching the game (see below for details).
   
4. People’s names (such as “Robert”) have been removed from the list of prohibited words when selecting the main character’s name at the beginning of the game.
   
5. Multiple text bugs have been fixed.
   
6. It’s now possible to move the command selection cursor using the left stick, and by extension WASD on keyboards, with very few exceptions in certain screens.
   
7. It’s now possible to select which key exits the game (by default this is set to Esc) and it will also be possible to bind the Esc key to a different function.
   
8. More frame rate options have been added; 90 fps, 120 fps, 144 fps as well as the option to leave the frame rate unlocked.

Finally, we’ve seen a number of questions about the in-game language setting in DRAGON QUEST XI. It’s possible to change the in-game language by changing the language setting of Steam itself.

Thanks for reading, and we hope you continue to enjoy playing DRAGON QUEST XI,

The DRAGON QUEST XI team

Hi everyone!

Today’s the day – DRAGON QUEST XI is out on Steam right now!

We’re working very hard to add both trading cards and community icons to the game as soon as possible, and I’ll post again to let you know once these have been added.

Even though trading cards have not been added yet, once they become available you’ll automatically earn them for the time you’ve spent playing.

We sincerely hope you enjoy your journey in DRAGON QUEST XI – get ready for an incredible adventure, starting today!

Thank you for your patience,
The DRAGON QUEST XI team
