Server performance issues: We’ve published a step-by-step process that has proven a successful remedy to the lag issues experienced by Vista users. Visit this link for more information.
Tip of the day: Logging separate reports for each problem found helps us process them more quickly. Including multiple bug reports in the same bug slows us down and makes it more likely we’ll miss something in your report.
Release Notes for build 1.3.53.0
Differences between 1.3.32.0 and 1.3.53.0 include:
- Port Battles that used the Wild Keys room would sometimes kick players back to town when they tried to zone in. We’ve removed Wild Keys as a Port Battle room until we can fix this properly.
- Fixed issue with the port owner not getting updated in transition to raided state. This caused problems with the Auction House.
- There was an exploit possible during Dueling that is no longer possible.
- There was a bug where, if you got disconnected during Boarding combat, the results are not what you’d hope or expect. We believe we’ve fixed that.
- Pointe-a-Pitre: There were problems with several textures which caused then to flash annoyingly. Fixed half of them.
- Pointe-a-Pitre: Added multiple coxswains so it’s easier to get out of town.
- It’s now possible to grapple when you’re moving 10 knots, as well as when your target is moving 10 knots.
Known Issue:
- Attackers can no longer withdraw from boarding combat (i.e. by clicking on the grappling hooks) until the combat is finished. It will appear that you can leave, but you can’t.
