Patch 147 - May 15 2012: Katana, Saves, Client crash

Post by Derrick »

Effective this morning:
  • Fixes bug in message packet that was causing clients to crash if the name of an item being locked down was too long. Thanks Cattie B
    • It is possible that other actions were causing the client crash as well, as the packet is used quite a bit, although there aren't many items with names long enough to trigger this.
  • Stable masters not responding properly to phrases fixed. [Thanks jefferyjay]
  • Claiming by name is now case insensitive: [Thanks LudKrud ]
  • Removed Daemon Bone armor from Efreet's [UO:R Item October 14, 2000]
  • Scavenger Hunt no longer yields a trophy.
  • Renamed MyRunUO to myUOSA in player messages
  • Katana speed changed back to 58: [Thread]
  • Shard save frequency has been changed from every half hour, to every hour.
This is less than we had slated for the next patch, but the fix to the client crash problem was urgent, so we published what we had ready this morning.

I know next to nothing about rares, but is this the only way this spawns? If so, I think daemon bone armor just got a bit pricier ;)
Most people like us, or at least they like what we do. Regardless, we appreciate all our victims, and we hope that their encounter with us is a memorable one.

daemon bone armor is cheap as chips atm, might as well get some while it's still inexpensive

I'm quite positive Efreets where the only creature that dropped them. Won't drop it from now on, making the silver system the only way of getting it now apparently.

Forgive my ignorance, but is this faster or slower?
EDIT: Nevermind, I just did the math, and let me just say, I'm glad I hoarded all those nice kats.

Just to confirm some other changes I noticed. Was there a change to Hidden Valley and a bug fix for mounts not listed in patch?

I noticed that there are now different decorations within the hidden valley structure- for example a metal jail-cell door separating the two rooms on the top level.
My rune was blocked!

Yep. Was the Mage up? I haven't seen it all day, or does it no longer spawn?

The mage gets murdered by notorious fiends quite often.

Looks like they're still up =)

And, I just noticed the post from 2 days ago with the Hidden Valley changes.

such a great patch. katana SUCKED and now it's the boss weapon it once was. i was wondering why i hated kats and then i was like hmmm it's probably not accurate. it was staring me right in the face and i couldn't even see it.

Aye, there was some deco in hidden valley and elsewhere (ha, find it!); Deco would not be mentioned in patch notes though.

There was a bug fix to stables listed in the last patch, but if you're taking about the "ghost mount" bug report nothing has been done on that yet.

Was the bug having to do with my dragon deleting itself 3days after I stabled it?
