WORK IN PROGRESS BUILD AND DOCUMENT
This is a work in progress build and as such, neither of the changes and implementations found in it are final. Neither is the patchnotes document, which will be updated, corrected and completed over the Public Beta Client period to better reflect the work in progress nature of this build.
Greetings, Exiles of the Testlive Public Beta Client lands!
We’ve been working on a patch to address several performance and stability issues reported over the past weeks, as well as a bunch of other general issues.
Since this is a pretty hefty patch with some important fixes, we wanted to release it first on the Public Beta Test branch of the game to gather some feedback before it goes live on all platforms.

IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING MODS
Please remember that updates can mess with the functionality of your installed mods. We suggest taking a backup of your current database before updating to any new patch if you have mods installed. For the purposes of testing, we recommend not using any mods when playing on Public Beta Client.
PATCHNOTES DIVIDER1800×200 19.8 KB
- Fixed a number of crashing and stability issues.
- Optimized loading times especially on lesser hardware and old gen consoles. This should result in shorter loading times in some cases.
- Addressed an issue that could cause abnormally long loading times after respawning.
- Fixed an issue that caused framerate to drop when placing Illusionist Mirrors.
- Improved performance when opening inventory boxes or opening crafting stations. This should be most noticeable on last-gen consoles.
- Spawning undead via the Admin panel should no longer crash the game, but it will still bother the necromancer union.
- Optimized memory usage of spells.
- Implemented optimization changes which should result in lesser memory usage and derived performance problems when being near NPCs and fighting.
- Improved memory usage when receiving resources into the inventory.
- Implemented a system that will prioritize loading of models based on whether they are visible or occluded by building pieces or placeables. This should improve performance and game stability in busy areas by avoiding out of memory crashes.

- Some Wallpaints would be partially hidden when used on certain walls. This has now been fixed.
