Steam Patch 2.27.2026
New Content
• Block MH Tasks: Added Monster Hunting block system, up to 3 blocked tasks for 50 writs each
Combat & Balance
• Off-Hand Penalty: Weapon procs should now be correctly excluded from off-hand damage reduction
• Armor Adjustments: Armor values were giving too much defense and had to be adjusted (affects both players and monsters) - monsters were adjusted accordingly. Hardcore players should be careful after restart to ensure that balance is clean. We're ready to quickly fix any issues that may arise from this change
UI Improvements
• Info Bar Fixes: Resolved issues with conversation bubbles
• Crafting Window: Fixed crafting window issue where recipes with ":" would get truncated
• Drag Hotkey: Added hotkey support for dragging UI elements (CTRL + SHIFT)
Bug Fixes
• Forced Movement Sync: Fixed multiple issues with forced movement (knockback/drag) synchronization • Movement to Unwalkable: Fixed client getting stuck after attempting to move to an unwalkable tile
• Gatherable Desync: Fixed animation desynchronization issues between client and server
• Corpse Fixes: Resolved issues with corpse display and interaction (server and client)
• Attack Cooldown: Fixed attack cooldown timer inconsistencies
• Move Direction: Fixed a bug where your character would snap to face the camera direction after arriving at a click-to-move destination, instead of keeping the direction they were walking
• Party Promotion: Fixed party leader promotion not working correctly
• Repair Fix: Resolved items staying broken after being repaired to 100% until they are re-equipped
• Locked Info Messages: Added proper messaging when interacting with locked items
• XP Globes: Attempted fix to ensure XP globes properly represent XP gains
• Gathering Tools: When your active gathering tool breaks, the game now automatically switches to the next unbroken tool of the same type in your bags instead of blocking you from gathering
• Food Buffs: Food buffs and potion effects no longer disappear when you log out and back in
• Stuck Cursor: Fixed a bug where the mouse cursor gets stuck on one icon (preventing targeting, gathering, camera rotation, and two-button walk) after alt-tabbing, dying mid-drag, or zone transitioning
• Client Quit: Fixed a bug where exiting the game would cause the game to hang until forced to close
Other Changes
• Skill XP Debug Info: Every time you gain skill XP, a chat message now shows what caused it (Combat, Shield, Trigger, Quest, etc.) - this is temporary
• Hydras Added a few additional spawns to all hydra locations except green hydras
• Tailoring Station: Adjusted Tailoring station to support up to 15 items
