We have released a client patch today, Thursday, August 28, which contains the following changes:

2D Game Client Only

For users with partial installs, please be aware that now you will get a message informing you that we will not support partial installs beginning with Publish 21.

3D Game Client Only

The "permanent darkness" lighting bug was fixed in 3D -- let there be light!
We have corrected visible black line "seams" with in-game art and text garbling issues. As a result, 3D graphics will remain sharp when zooming the camera in. Players may experience visual side effects of these changes, but additional related fixes will be released as soon as possible
Some text wrapping issues in the 3D client were addressed.

Both the 3D and 2D Game Client
