New Patch: 4.12

There is a new patch going out shortly for both the client and server. In particular:

  • Added icons to all the potions in the game
  • Added a new panel to the login screen which contains an excerpt of the latest blog post as well as the ability to activate the Websocket connection type (or de-activate it) directly from inside the game. The “-connectws” command-line argument is no longer required.
  • The preference of connection type will save between gaming sessions. In addition, this means it should now be possible for Oculus users to activate this connection type if they have been experiencing crashes with the original default type.
  • Made some changes to the Websocket connection type so that it is now a direct connection to our server, which should reduce the latency some users were seeing with it. It should now be just as low-latency as the default connection type.
  • Added a “bob and splash” effect to the bobber when you get a bite while fishing, which should hopefully make it easier to see when you get a bite when using Windows MR headsets.
  • Fixed a bug which was unintentionally allowing the Donkey Cart to drop items and give XP when killed. Since it’s a defenseless mob that doesn’t fight back or put you in combat, it should do neither.
  • Fixed a bug which was sometimes incorrectly disconnecting you from a dungeon even when you were in the correct party when entering the dungeon.

The sever will restart in approximately 25 minutes (in-game announcements going out now) and the client-side patches will be available to download around that time as well. Thanks!

Excellent update Riley, Keep it up! Glad to see some visual aid was added to help Mixed Reality users fish.

Server restart has been completed and the client-side patches are now available to download. Thanks!

Thanks so much for the network settings in game! Bobber effects should be cool to have. Very excited to test if these new connection adjustments you listed will help! Keep up the great work. Another great patch as per usual.

Ohhh so THAT’S why I kept seeing these two runemages farm that cart the other day, I though they were just practicing their spell drawing!

There is a new server-side patch which is going out shortly, in particular:

  • When doing the Soul Keeper boss in the Tradu Crypt, after the boss re-appears it will always do at least one other attack on its target before doing the “tank buster” maneuver, in order to give the tank time to pick up the boss.
  • Loot bags will no longer block arrows, Runemage missiles, etc. when they are on the ground, including ones for other players which you cannot see.

Thanks!
