This patch contains some different fixes for bugs we've encountered since release. Alongside the bug fixes, we also put in some minor changes and polish. It should not require a wipe.

Were continuing to monitor the game for bugs, and will continue support it with future patches to address further bugs, design tweaks, and any new exploits that surface. Please post any bugs you find, or issues with the game in the bug forums:

We continue to work with EAC on further changes to prevent hacking. Please remember that any hackers caught will have their access to the game perma-banned.

If you want to report an exploit, or hacker, and learn about our process, please read this thread:

We plan some time off next week for the holidays. Looking to the future, if there is something urgent, we will patch it as soon as we can. Otherwise, we will continue to support the game by releasing occasional patches that will focus on further bug fixes, design tweaks, and exploit fixes. The anti-hack is updated separately via the EAC launcher and will update itself as new hacks are discovered, as anti-hacking is a constant battle. We do not plan to do further weekly progress reports in-between future patches, but we will of course still be part of the community and monitor the forums. Please continue to list bugs, balancing thoughts, and email us about exploits. We also plan to do a wipe about once a month going forward to keep the servers running well, and the game fresh.

Polish:

- Adjusted crouch animation to look more natural. Crouch height is based on leg length; small characters will crouch less whereas tall characters will crouch more.

Changes:

- Changed sound when dropping items in your inventory
- Removed mouse hover sound from main menu
- The gamepad cursor is now disabled by default to prevent unexpected mouse-drifting when using specific controllers or software. The gamepad cursor can be enabled in the "Options" menu, and it will not be disabled if you already had it enabled.

Bug Fixes:

- Main menu music will no longer play outside of the main menu.
- Water is no longer a craft-able item. It is still produced by wells or found on animals and fresh bodies of water.
- Fixed an issue with the decay system improperly caching time stamps in crest areas.
- Block Collapsing now accounts for existing but not fully loaded pages
- Fixed some raycast hit issues on players for projectiles
- Fixed Long Drawbridge audio not lining up properly
- Fog distance scales to draw distance, no weird box sky on lowest graphics settings

We hope everyone enjoys their time gaming over the holidays,

- The Code}{atch Team
