The 1.4.0 version update of "The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Realms" brings a series of major technical upgrades and optimizations to the PC platform.This patch adds DLSS, XeSS and Temporal Anti-Aliasing (TAA) support, and simultaneously launches a number of advanced rendering and graphics enhancements.Players can now turn on new options for color accuracy and high-quality post-processing, and experience improved shadow sampling and enhanced cloud rendering.The update also improves zoom capabilities and UI clarity by ensuring that maps and 3D interfaces are displayed at 100% scale even when lower than full rendering resolution.

In addition to visual enhancements, this update replaces XInput with the SDL2 controller input solution, significantly improving input response and controller support.This change implements automatic handle key prompt detection, expanded key support, and even allows DualShock and DualSense touchpads to be used as function keys.A number of new user-friendly improvements have been added to further optimize performance, fix several rendering errors, and simultaneously improve the user experience for casual players and series veteran players.
