Mortal Online 2 News

Added

• Added EULA to the login screen that you need to accept in order to play.
  

Changes

• After leaving the queue you will now be able to skip the entire queue the next time you login if you do it within 5 min after leaving. So if any issues occur while you are loading into the game you can now skip the queue when you relog.
  
• Decreased the CladeXP you get from Walking Deads.
  
• Increased the CladeXP you get from Bandits and Risars.
  
• Removed Ironwood trees from Haven.
  
• Fire particles are tweaked to look better on lower settings
  

Fixes

• Fixed another set of crashes related to the login queue and after entering the game. (error code 0x80000003)
  
• Fixed a startup crash related to the characters in the login screen sometimes initializing before other systems.
  
• Fixed issue that made clients disconnect from the login while in the middle of the queue.
  
• Fixed issue that would disconnect clients as soon as they entered Nave after being in queue. This is a partial fix as this will still happen in some cases if it does; simply pressing login again should move you to the front of the queue and you will just login again instantly without having to wait.
  
• Optimized the nodes to handle more people even in crowded areas. More optimizations are still coming.
  
• Fixed several leaks caused by insane pressure on the login servers.
  
• Fixed floating plants near Vadda.
  
• Fixed broken collision in some ruins.
  
• Fixed a tiny issue in the female body mesh UVs related to tattoos.
  

Added

• Added more wildlife to the world.
  
• Added a new version of Zombies that roam near cities that do not have a Graveyard.
  

Changes

• You can now only bring a total of 3 gold from Haven.
  
• Lowered the sell price on haven bandit heads to 25s (was 80s).
  
• You now need to have your clade gifts at level 2 before you can leave Haven.
  
• Decreased the spawn timer on horse spawns (they now spawn faster).
  
• Increased the “Use” distance on bankers to make them easier to access.
  
• The Tindrem bank is now easier to access.
  
• Strongholds can no longer be placed within 100m of another stronghold or keep.
  

Fixes

• Fixed issue with the client crashing after roughly 20 minutes in the login queue.
  
• Fixed issue with player bodies getting stuck with proportions of that of another clade in character creation and the paperdoll window. For example, a Thursar could get the body shape of an Oghmir. Note, this never affected your appearance to others in the game.
  
• Fixed issue with player faces breaking after character creation. This was due to an encoding error that only happened to some face codes. This error can’t be repaired but we are working on a solution to allow you to update your character face without rerolling. New and rerolled characters should be fixed. Broken faces will remain the same on existing characters until we have a solution and we do not recommend rerolling at this time.
  
• Fixed crash in HUD when clearing the split stack popup.
  
• Fixed crash when clearing extra effects on weapons (for example torch fire).
  
• Fixed crash related to preloading game content on startup.
  
• Fixed crash in HUD when updating the list of stabled pets.
  
• Fixed a rare crash related to getting information about another player.
  
• Fixed a rare crash in HUD when unequipping items.
  
• Fixed a rare crash related to updating player velocity.
  
• Fixed one of the Huergar beards being broken on a lower LOD.
  
• Fixed Wisent foot-placement when moving.
  
• Fixed a lot of landscape and terrain issues.
  

Optimization

• Made several optimizations to the server to help with overcrowded cities.

• Fixed a bug causing character creation body shape to not match actual body shape.
  
• Fixed an issue where one part of the body shape calculation would use a wrong value making the body shape slightly wrong. Minor visual change.
  
• Players will now bounce off other players when spawning on top of each other instead of floating perfectly still on the other player.

• Fixed a bug where buffs did not behave as intended when getting applied (causing issues like ‘Mental Power’ not removing debuffs).
  
• Fixed situations where house upgrades would fail due to foliage despite the same foliage not being an issue during the initial placement of the house.
