Dear friends!
[p align="justify"]Along with some minor tweaks based on your feedback, this patch includes some important updates we'd like to share. But first, a quick heads: "Teleportation System 2.0" is already in testing and developing alongside our new location.Exploits and Punishments
[p align="justify"]Over the past two weeks, we've identified and fixed two methods of illegal item duplication. These weren't widespread, but two specific groups were knowingly using them.[p align="justify"]For one exploit (taler duplication), we had no trouble fixing it—the vulnerability was patched within an hour of discovery, and 9 accounts were banned. The second exploit, however, required us to get feedback from the blocked accounts.[p align="justify"]The February 28th patch resolved the second vulnerability. Player accounts that reached out to us, as well as those who provided detailed descriptions of the exploit, been unblocked—with not only the illegally obtained items removed but also with additional penalties applied.(CIS) Server Connection
[p align="justify"]Brief update:- [p align="justify"]We've temporarily rented 3 additional physical servers (different DC/hoster, alternate routing paths) and will gradually migrate CIS UE4 servers to them as they come online;
- [p align="justify"]CIS server structure remains unchanged since launch—all game servers and backend still reside in Moscow DC;
- [p align="justify"]All UE4 servers maintain stable 30 FPS with physical server load under 10%;
- [p align="justify"]Connection issues began emerging on Feb 16 and have grown daily;
- [p align="justify"]On Feb 28 we applied temporary network parameter adjustments to relax late-packet filtering between client and UE4 server
- [p align="justify"]During the Feb 28 exploit fix, we added extra packet-loss validation to prevent similar abuse—this patch temporarily triples that threshold to ease connectivity;
- [p align="justify"]This patch temporarily triples that threshold to ease connectivity;
