Patch Notes for March 18th, 2026

Hi Everyone:

Let's try this again. We fixed the character saving issue, should be good now.

EA.01:26.03.18a cl: 9473

We are using a new and more optimized system for our lootboxes so that they can save what you put in and not load new loot if you wander too far off etc. Due to this new system, SAVE GAMES created BEFORE this change, will not be compatible and lootboxes will no longer spawn in those saves.

The positive with this is from now on we can really see where our loot balance struggle and better optimize for a more enjoyable experience.

We apologize for this!
