Video & UI

Treasure & Visual Fixes

• Fixed blurry treasure-opening visuals caused by a DirectX 11 issue.
• Adjusted the Treasure Opening design.
• Ultimate/Omega Item Pull shout visuals are no longer displayed in Siege, Secret Room, Monster Clash, and Dungeons. The chat message is still shown.
• Fixed a DirectX 11 rendering issue that caused parts of some SFX to appear as flat, translucent colors instead of using their intended textures.

Vendor Shop Template Fix

• Fixed an issue with Vendor Shop Templates. Items are now saved correctly when creating a template, including after a server restart.

Important Older templates may still be affected by the previous bug. If you experience any issues, delete the old template and create a new one.

How Shop Templates handle items: Items can only be added to a Shop Template if the exact original item stack is currently in your inventory.

For example, if you place a stack of Diamonds into your Vendor Shop and those Diamonds are later stored in your Shop Bank, or the entire stack is sold to another player, they will no longer be available when creating or updating the template. Claim them from the Shop Bank before using the template.

Another stack of Diamonds in your inventory will not work as a replacement. Every item stack has its own unique ID, so the template only recognizes the exact stack or item that was originally placed in the shop.

This is important because two items of the same type can still have different stats, bonuses, or values. The template therefore does not automatically replace a missing item with a similar one from your inventory, preventing accidental sales of high-value items with different bonus stats.

Please always review the items in your Vendor Shop before opening it to players.

Volumetric Fog - DirectX 11 Only

• Added Volumetric Fog, replacing the standard fog when enabled.
• Distant fog now adapts to view distance, with varying density and closer fog banks depending on in-game time.
• Every two in-game hours, approaching fog banks have a 25% chance during daytime and a 50% chance at night. Heavy fog has a 4% daytime chance and a 12% nighttime chance.
• Example: At 10:00 AM in-game time, conditions can range from completely clear to dense fog surrounding your character.
• Softer, slightly gray fog preserves each world's colors and works with both sun-ray and moon-ray styles.
• The sky remains visible during normal fog, while heavy fog can obscure it. The sun may still faintly shine through.
• Optimized heavy fog by skipping fully obscured distant scenery where safe and omitting skybox reflections in water when the sky is covered.

DirectX 11 Performance

• Improved loading times on large maps with many monsters and objects.
• Reduced loading stutters when moving through densely populated areas, especially with increased view distance.
• Previously loaded models and textures are now reused more efficiently.
• Optimized game-data loading for slower hard drives.
