近期 Steam 版本的登录、结算问题2025-04-17亲爱的玩家们： 近期有部分玩家反馈出现了程序崩溃、登录失败报错，以及 Steam 购买结算失败等问题。我们进行了排查，发现这些问题主要是由于最近 Steam 接口异常导致的。 这也解释了为什么这些问题仅出现在 Steam 版本的客户端，其他平台未受影响。 关于崩溃问题，我们在上周的版本中已经提交了相关优化，目前已经有部分改善。我们会在本周的版本更新中再次提交一个修复尝试，希望能够进一步缓解崩溃的情况。 至于登录失败 和 Steam 结算失败的问题，目前来看需要等待 Steam 官方解决。我们已经在积极联系 Steam 团队，并持续跟进他们的处理进展。 对于本次问题给大家带来的不便，我们深表歉意，感谢大家的理解与支持！ —— 开发团队
