Once the Launcher is completely updated, there will be a 'Game Pre-Installation' button on the left side of the Launch button. Click on the said button to download the latest game resources.

Keep in mind that Travelers can still play the game normally if they decide to start the pre-installation function. However, since the download will take up a certain amount of network data, players must ensure a good network connection before beginning the process.
