September 3, 2026 - Patch Notes

The servers will be down for a scheduled game update tomorrow @ 6am PDT. Please see the patch notes below for fixes and changes.

Alerts and Continent Changes

We’re happy to report that Hotfix #3, released on August 31, has resolved the issue affecting the alert and continent change systems.

• Alerts should now finish correctly.

• Continent changes should work smoothly again.

Client Crashes Update

We’d like to provide an update on the current state of client crashes and our ongoing investigation.

While this update does not include any new fixes, specifically related to client crashes, we want to share the latest information and outline what we are currently working on.

According to our crash statistics, the number of daily client crashes has been reduced by approximately 50% since Hotfix #2, released on August 27. We can also confirm that the crash in the garbage collector implementation used for render objects has been fully resolved.

However, we are still receiving reports from players experiencing client crashes, and our logs continue to show several different types of crashes. Our investigation and work on these remaining issues is ongoing.

• Crashes occurring when switching characters — we are continuing to investigate this issue.

• Connection issues being perceived as client crashes — our logs show a significant number of connection drops related to network issues. In some cases, players receive no indication that their connection has been lost, which can make these incidents appear to be client crashes. We are currently working on displaying a clear message when a connection is lost, including information about the possible cause.

• Additional GPU diagnostics — we are working on adding additional diagnostic tools for both NVIDIA and AMD graphics cards. This will help us investigate more specific cases that may be related to particular GPUs or driver configurations.

• Anti-cheat investigation — at the moment, we do not see any evidence in our logs that the anti-cheat system is contributing to the current situation. However, we are continuing to investigate this possibility as well.

We will continue to keep you informed as our investigation progresses and we release fixes as soon as they are ready.

Thank you for your continued reports and feedback — they are helping us identify and address these issues.
