We are currently working on an update mainly fixing bugs and improving some things. This will be released shortly.

Also, we are planning a larger update with some major improvements on gameplay. We will focus on improvements for the existing gameplay, because we believe there are a lot of small things we can do to make Valnir Rok more fun. There are no new big features to be expected. However, the mentioned small improvements can be things as new/changed items and quests. We will take a look at all existing game systems. The main story line is going to change slightly as well as some items, abilities and professions and other things.

For the last 3 updates we released, the patch notes were unfortunately missing on steam, we're sorry for that. A lot of players were asking about what we changed, so here they are:

• Traders will now show the correct price again.
  
• Fixed an issue that caused the new bushes to be marked as trees.
  
• Fixed an issue that caused the map to crash the game.
  
• The health bar text no longer gets replaced with "immune" when the player is immune as it caused problems with displaying the correct health value once the immune condition vanished. This should ensure that the health bar text is never missing.
  
• Legendary items cannot be retrieved anymore by using the give command
  
• Experimental workaround to fix the camera being detached from the player.
  
• Fixed an issue that caused male players to keep their visual equipment after dying.
  

• Primitive bow sells for 2 silver now.
  
• Deactivated double exp event.

• Fixed an issue that caused the zoom of the map to only affect spawn points

• Portuguese expressions fixed, UI in main menu shows every language setting in each language now.

• Changed handling of respawn to prevent getting stuck in your own house (experimental)
  

With this release we upgraded to a newer Engine-Version. This might cause some things to break that we didn't catch. One such thing is for example the sky system we use which results in strange results during night time (we are still working on improving night time though).

• Horse has right Animator, jaw and reins dont bug away anymore.
  
• Brigandine armors are now available in all colors.
  
• Armors for the female character (Lammellar, small lammellar, scale, small scale) are fixed and updated.

• Fixed an issue that caused items to be copied multiple times when being hit due to infinite durability.
  
• Sandwich item will now show it's stack amount
  

• Upgrade to newer Engine Version (this might help with performance in some places)
  
• Experimental change to prevent invisible characters when dismounting. (Partially helped)
  
• Added world entity creation caching (Experimental)
  
• Improved settings for player movement interpolation which should result in an overall smoother movement for - remote players. (Experimental)
