We have deployed v1.5.5, introducing full native support for saving client Account Preferences directly to the server database. This update resolves the annoying reset of gameplay, HUD, and interface options between login sessions, ensuring the game layout behaves exactly as you configure it.
Persistent Account Preferences Flow
- Server-Side Options Save: implemented full support for Account Preferences packets. The server now captures, stores, and loads your entire user interface configuration blob directly from the database instead of returning empty settings.
- Interface Bitmask Correction: resolved a critical bitmask bug that misaligned interface flags. This technical error caused options like Player Health Bars, Health Bar Numbers, and Defensive Messages to randomly turn off due to a bit-shifting error during packet assembly.
- Automated Profile Repair: profiles created with broken layout configurations are automatically migrated and restored to correct settings upon your next login without deleting real personal changes.
Comprehensive Interface & HUD Defaults
- HUD Columns Sync: added complete initialization parameters matching high-end user preferences: Player/Monster Health Bars, Player Names, Combat Numbers (Healing, Damage, Critical strikes), Defensive messages, and Item drop labels are now perfectly synchronized.
- Gameplay Interface Tuning: fully exposed all standard sub-menus within our core config, including: Show Tutorials, Clock, Zoom preferences, Auto-Equip behavior, Advanced Tooltips, Elective Mode toggles, Cutscene Skips, and Item Rarity Icons.
- Item Label Customization: added full support for the item label dropdown mechanism, setting the popular "Push to toggle" layout option as part of the core package.
Expected gameplay impact
- Set-and-Forget Settings: your custom interface settings, Elective Mode choices, and health bar visibilities are now permanently memorized across all your characters.
- Precise Baseline Interface: new accounts will automatically inherit a clean, community-vetted interface template, showing essential health bars and combat numbers right out of the box.
If you notice instability, please report hero name, zone, UTC time, and whether .offline was active in Support.
