Game updates when the server moves on

  • A newer game version, on Play. When a server runs a newer version of the game than your install, the launcher asks before it starts: Update your game now? Only the files that changed are downloaded, from the server's update site. Your old version is kept, compressed, for any server that still uses it.
  • Older versions over your install. A server on an older version plays from a small set of files laid over your install. Your install isn't copied, and the files are only made when needed.
  • Versions in Settings. See the versions you keep, compress one you aren't using (Shelve), or remove it.
  • The account chip shows the version that account plays.
  • Questions that wait for you. Update, Delete account and Repair now ask first and wait for your answer. Before, they went ahead without asking.

Fixes

  • Lobby error 3101 is fixed. It came from a timing problem when the character list arrived in pieces over the internet.
  • Sign-in: the launcher tries again when the server turns away its data connection at once.
  • Making a character no longer crashes (palette support in the graphics layer).
  • Character names: we ship our own short name list, so names aren't refused for no reason and you don't need PlayOnline.
  • Chat: the game's own chat log stays hidden under the overlay's chat.

The overlay (Cmd+U on macOS, Ctrl+Shift+U elsewhere; F12 for its bar)

  • Chat: tabs, the game's colors, auto-translate (Tab), /chatmode, and ! commands.
  • Windows: Party, Target, Equipment and Items.
  • A radar map drawn over the game's own map art, for every expansion.
  • Names over heads in the overlay's font, hidden behind walls.
  • The game's own windows step out of the way: its party list, target box and log.

Also

  • Graphics: MetalFX upscaling and 3D quality presets.
  • The game window: it can be resized, has a volume setting, and uses every pixel of a Retina display.
  • Closing the window in the world logs you out first.
  • New accounts: you can make an account on a LandSandBoat server from the launcher.
  • Steam Deck: notes in the README.
