Patch Notes Version 0.5.0.469

FIXES

  • Leveling health increase ability up increases health accordingly now.
  • NPC Guards attack aggressive creatures now.
  • NPC Guards now sheath and unsheath their weapons correctly.
  • Character data should no longer become corrupted, resulting in a “Couldn’t load player” message on screen. The affected characters should be able to login again.
  • Fixed a bug which sometimes could cause clan leaders to loose their clan.
  • Fixed a bug which prevented artifacts from despawning in chests.

IMPROVEMENTS

  • Experimental(!)* Started to add 4K support for the UI
  • Experimental(!)* improvements to the build system which should improve game performance.
  • Experimental(!)* improvements to the networking code to reduce lag.

* These experimental changes may break other parts of the game or may not lead to a significant improvement at all. We especially need your feedback on these two.

CHANGES

  • Added the /ping command to perform a roundtrip ping throughout all game systems for diagnostic purposes.
