- Reduced animation jitters while using the mouse to turn on the ground and while flying.
- Added option to graphics section in game options to disable other player's pets
- The game will now display a warning if you try to delete a quest with active dependent quests / deleting a dependent quest that would affect the main quest.
- All inventory windows have had their background textures improved. They now are generally higher quality and will tile instead of stretch, resulting in your interface looking a lot less pixelated.
- The Ice and Lava theme's the corner gem menu no longer tiles and has a single dedicated texture that reaches across your screen, resulting in a more cohesive look to the theme. The Lava theme's effect for the primary hotkey bar also now clashes less with the rest of the theme.
- Added the ability to right click and copy first name or copy full name to the Player Search window results

- The "Maximum Item Level" is now displayed in item descriptions.
- Faster loading speed by performing better caching of assets.
- Most of the quest window's sorting icons have been redone for legibility and cohesion. The 'All' button is now an infinity symbol instead of text, and the 'toggled' version is properly sized and displays correctly.
- The shopping list window has had a few changes - you can now enter batch values up to 9999, the column for batches is labelled 'Batches', the batch amount box now visibly shows it is able to be typed into, and the alternating row color matches existing windows (less intense blue).
 
 
Client Fixes

- Fixed an issue where some cached resources wouldn't be unloaded, which was causing the game to run out of memory after playing for a long time and traveling to lots of unique areas.
- Fixed issue with how certain textures are displayed, this fixes Welger having no textures in some cases and fixes objects which use textures also used by characters (like statues) rendering incorrectly.
- FIX for the build list resetting when building multiple structures of the same type and clicking the build button.
- Updated method used to display progressive textures (DDS) so they are shown at higher fidelity.
- Fixes text disappearing on buttons if UI scaling is used.
- Fixed issue with how textures are displayed for characters (so they always display).
- Various startup splash images will now properly appear instead of being skipped over.
- Rewrite how quest location triggers work so they are much more accurate.
- Fixed an issue where buildings and other world objects would disappear randomly.
- Fixed npcs who are turning to face you while being greeted following you constantly unless you stood still - this is why Grulnar is so grumpy, because he kept being led around by energetic Gifted who just wouldn't stand still!
- Make the item properties popup handle very long descriptions and details. This is needed for the new Ambrosia.
- Optimisations to slightly increase FPS in high-density areas such as New Trismus.
- Ice and Lava themes' pop-up windows are no longer extremely low-quality and pixelated.
- The emerald theme's launch window texture no longer has clear seams where it repeats. The theme also now uses one color for its alternating row colors in lists, instead of two very different ones.
- The shopping window's row colors now update to match your theme. They will now act properly when the window is made transparent.
- The ruby theme's alternating row colors in UI lists is now a bit brighter to blend in less with the black rows. The lava theme now shares the colors of alternating rows with the ruby theme.
- The 'Refresh contents' button on the Silo window now rests in the empty spot in the top left of the window instead of floating on the right side and overlapping other UI elements.
- The Helian shops (small NPC lairs) have had a few texture issues corrected on their entrances. The larger version now sports a proper Helian entrance instead of mysteriously reusing the Lunus one.
- Falgut's tower no longer sticks unnaturally far out in the Blight fog.
- The Flame Elemental Ally epic displays now properly use the new textures for the ally.
- An open Boss Window now properly reopens after a UI scale change, thereby reflecting the new scale and not getting glitched out in the old resolution.
- The game will no longer severely lag when dragging a UI window around.
- Fixed an issue where UI scaling would cause interface text to become garbled and unreadable.
- Right clicking on the chat window only shows "Add to Group" if the list of players is displayed.
- Right clicking on the chat window only shows "Invite to Chat" when you are clicking in the player list window.
- Dragons will no longer close their eyes when gliding.
- Fix combat effects getting stuck / repeating in some cases.
- Fix for lair window being rotated when planning a lair.
- Further updates to resolve issue with building / object selection
- Some bows that previously would not show weapon dye kits can now be dyed again.
- Add "<owner's name> Pet" below pet's name to avoid confusion between monsters / pets.
- Fixed lair map not being accurate.
