Patch Notes

Today, October 24th, 2005 at 2:00PM PDT (9:00PM GMT), we will deploy client patch 5.0.1d.

Details for the patch are as follows:

• Improved the way object handles display names

• The Abattoir house add-on no longer disappears when the OmitBlood option is enabled.
• The skills list now closes correctly when you hit the back button during character creation
• Bumped the client version letter
• Fixed missing water and lava tiles, as well as made various other map fixes
• Fixed art on the Elven Wash Basin (south)
• Tall Elven Beds no longer clip second floor tiles
• Flowered hairstyle now has a flower in 3D client
• Carpets now show up correctly on the 2nd floor of the Britain Library
• Characters who equip a repeating crossbow no longer have a black dot show up on their forehead in their paperdoll
• Fixed a clipping issue with Leaf Tonlets in 3D client
• Gold no longer falls through certain floor tiles
• Spiked hair no longer clips through certain helmets
• Mounted player no longer sits to the side of a Cu Sidhe
• String of Shells is no longer visible through upper floors when placed on a lower floor

Some of these changes will not be visible until Publish 37 is active on all shards.

If patched correctly, your current version will display 5.0.1d for the 2D client and 5.0.1c for the 3D client. If you have any difficulty receiving this patch, please check the following:
