Fixes for 18–22 October 2026
All changes listed here were installed on the server after the previous post, from the evening of 17 October to 22 October. Items marked "Confirmed in game" have been checked by players and work. Items marked "Checking continues" are installed but not yet confirmed in game: installing a follow-up does not mean the report is closed.
Talents, game files and the VIP window
- Talents that replace an ability: The talent once again takes the place of the replaced ability in the spellbook and on the action bar instead of vanishing from the book, and the replaced ability no longer turns inactive. This applies to all such talents of every class. Confirmed in game.
- Disconnect while quickly browsing collections: The game downloads missing model and texture files from our file distribution server. Previously, if one source failed, the file was not delivered and the game dropped to the menu with a data streaming error. The distribution now has fallback sources, so a missing file is fetched from another place. Checking continues.
- New VIP window: The in-game VIP window has been fully redrawn: it is now a single screen in the game's own style with all information visible at once. To see the new window, restart the game through the launcher. Checking continues.
- Chat protection: Links to achievements, professions, recipes and spells from the Russian client are no longer treated as forged, and a message with such a link no longer disappears with the chat colour error. Confirmed in game.
