Release Notes: February 9th, 2013

Change Notes
Stability
- The memory leak in texture loading code has been fully addressed.
- Some short-term fixes have been reverted in the process; overall the game should be more stable for more players.
- Players' screens will no longer be solid blue in certain cases. If you have used the workaround posted on the forums, you may remove the changes.
- Players no longer crash when changing max camera distance to 0 and looking straight up.
- Increased the stability of persistent-world maps. Certain instances of Protector's Enclave had grown less responsive over time.
Queues
- Players are no longer brought into a completed version of the Cloak Tower when queuing solo.
- Known issue: If a party leaves before completing the Cloak Tower, another group may end up in their instance. This may result in the first portion of the instance having been cleared. This will not occur if Vansi Bloodscar has already been slain.
- The Orc Assault and Cloak Tower queues can now be joined up to level 20.
Founder's Pack
- The Founder's Pack mail sent in-game will now direct players to the Postal Courier between the Tarmalune Trade House and the Grand Emporium near the market.
Protector's Enclave
- The population cap for Protector's Enclave has been increased to 100, up from 50.
- The Postal Courier now has a landmark on the Map screen.

What you encountered is rubberbanding and getting booted for being idle sounds like a lag issue as well.

Over all not a bad game, disappointed I payed to get into the game though just to play Beta!! I was un happy with the fact I couldnt turn off mouse look off my mouse, also was disappointed in the traps in the game!! I seen no way to disarm them or the fact I was right on top off a trap with a trickster rogue and didnt spot it or was unable to search for it. I mean even being able to pick pocket would be good to see, Also concered what is goingto happen with this game using 4th addition D

Overall I love the game. I can't wait for the next beta weekend. The only real issue I ran into was the queuing for the tower and Orc Assault, and on the last day, getting disconnected a number of times. I was very happy to see the event queues were fixed. I do hope leveling is a bit slower at go live. If not, I will definitely have concerns about the end game. I love the map note idea, it would be great feature appreciated by many if not all.

Can you please enable V Sync? I'm having issues with screen tearing. Good job so far though!
sshate @ Feb 10th, 2013 6:19AM
Wow. That's very impressive turn-around time. Two thumbs up.
streethawke @ Feb 10th, 2013 6:07AM

Tried turning OFF xbox/joystick controllers?

What about certain unavailable stuff like the mounts for Founders' pack owners? Will the "release" of them be addressed in the notes?
bjwyler
Addressed in what way? It is noted on the Beta Weekend information page that some of the VIP stuff will be available to try out. It doesn't specify what and it doesn't say that all items will be available during Beta weekends. I don't see that anything else needs to be addressed. These items are for those who support the game by "pre-purchasing" and will be able to show these items off when the game goes live to show they supported the game. The fact that a couple of things can be used and tested in Beta is an extra bonus as well.

You might want to include info in the quest details that cloak tower is lvl 20 max. I hit lvl 20 in the quest and it booted me mid-adventure stating I was over the level.
felix1252 @ Feb 10th, 2013 1:29AM
Good to see the population cap is on the rise, it was a little annoying when me and my party were struggling to be in the same instance haha, but loving the game! Good work.
hadmatter @ Feb 10th, 2013 12:04AM
Nice to know there will be fewer people asking where the mailbox is. Now maybe you can let us zoom in whenever we want?
trayal @ Feb 9th, 2013 9:21PM
Awesome about adding the Courier to the map. I'd really like the option to do map notes, as well as have all service-style NPCs such as vendors show up as a toggle on the map.
avatarstryfe
Yes personal map notes that actually save to each character setting would be awesome. Perhaps even allow players to set an icon to the note posted to map? for easy referencing.

All awesome stuff. The Cloak Tower was really aggravating my team...
