[p][/p][hr][/hr][p]Crafting Window

The crafting window now features a functional filter to display only known recipes, unknown recipes, or only craftable recipes. All items displayed in the crafting window now include a description. Crafting recipes now also show their effects. Crafting recipe ingredients are now assigned more meaningfully and clearly.[/p][hr][/hr][p]General Changes

Weapon effects no longer end when picking up a health orb. Allocated talent points are now loaded correctly. Blocking of CTRL and ALT keys while shopping has been implemented to prevent unintended actions.[/p][hr][/hr][p]Exit Game

The "Exit Game" function now requires confirmation. After confirmation, a server write is performed, and the game closes after 10 seconds. The exit game logic has been converted from a countdown to a dialog system that returns a status for each server write process. The game can no longer be closed directly using Alt + F4. When Alt + F4 is pressed, the "Exit Game" logic is now triggered, ensuring confirmation and server write are properly executed.[/p][hr][/hr][p]– Your Usurpator Team
