Update Notes: February 17, 2026
This is a bug-fix update.
Horse Turning:
Our recent change to fix framerate-dependence in movement caused some unexpected behavior with horse turn radius. These issues are fixed now. And now that they are fixed, you may see some differences in turn-speed based on your horse's Friendliness stat: higher friendliness results in higher turn speed. (Self-mounting animals gain turn speed as they level up their animal skill.)
Also note that various horse gear also boosts turn speed, and some of it needs to be rebalanced now that these fixes are in. If your horse is still insanely fast at turning, try taking off your reins for now.
Other Fixes:
- - Fix bug causing the camera to sometimes get stuck to your mouse after letting go of right-click
- - Remove invisible colliders throughout Serbule
- - Fix some tree visuals in Serbule
- - Fix for Serbule rocks changing color as you approach them
- - Ferris Blueheart in Vidaria now offers his Hellfire-curing hangout to anyone infected with Hellfire, regardless of level. This hangout cures 20 stacks and is repeatable daily.
- - Realign Serbule boundaries so they match up with the map
- - Fix for Serbule lamps turning back on immediately after turning off
- - Fix visual bug with fairies when selected
- - Fix SSAO affecting fairy wings in a strange way
