Significant mini-update! — 2026-09-21 09:05:02
Thanks to the player Swirus for testing the server for a short while, reporting some bugs and giving me the motivation and interest to test the server out (remotely, I have tested it extensively locally) myself, but never uncovered most of these before!
Thanks to his report we fixed "light flashing/flickers underground" (forgot about this) as well as these due to my own uncovering:
* Huge FPS loss (down to 0 fps) moving the mouse around quickly, especially after a while; two bugs found and fixed, the loss is now 0-1 fps @ 240fps when moving mouse quickly
* Illusion effect of "walking from the wall" when spamming right click in the world viewport and stepping at same time
* Exp/hour (had forgot about this one)
* A* on client-sided improved slightly (reduced lag to almost 0 everytime the client sends its steps)
* Couldn't throw fire field runes (silently dropped) on many spots
* Red attacking square remaining when going up/down floor with target should be fixed
* Disguise tiles -> normal tile -> did not decay back to disguise tile
* NPC buying vials that contains fluids
Swirus also suggested having a larger viewrange due to black squares appearing during automatic serversave when the client allow you to step 5 steps without sync (which OTCv8 also has, I've seen this on stream many times).
We are also looking into developing a GUI updater, possibly inside the client itself since it now supports HTTPS.
Thanks for testing the server out and we will continue developing & testing the game out for future development.
