Live Client Update and Bonus Extension

Posted by John Thornhill | 2020 Sep 09 16:29 -0400 GMT

Client Update


  • Players should no longer be experiencing the recurring client disconnects.
  • Connection error reporting has changed.
    • Users will now see standard Windows socket error codes for any remaining disconnects other than standard link-deads.
    • If you experience consistent disconnections in the future, and you've already checked your local PC, network and Internet connection, please notify us in the Bug-Reports channel of our official Discord and include the full error text shown, including any error numbers.
If players are currently in-game they should logout to re-run the patcher to receive these fixes.

  • Improving Market Explorer search results speeds.
  • Market Explorer results closing when clicking through pages.
  • Max Price properly filtering Market Explorer results.
