The special setting MaxActiveLoads=-1 no longer works. Having this setting will result in all interactables to be non-selectable and/or non-usable. To fix this and still maintain fast loading, change -1 to something like 500 or better and then save changes. The issue should instantly fix itself.

This is a bug-fix update with a few little other things attached. Other things first:

This update continues our revamp of outdoor spawn density, this time revisiting Kur Mountains, Sun Vale, and Ilmari Desert. The spawners will now maintain a minimum density level regardless of the number of players in the area. In addition, overall monster density and loot/harvestable density is increased.

These areas are also using new and improved "don't spawn a monster on player's heads" logic. Due to how our spawners work this logic is not infallible, but it's improved. This new logic has also been applied to Serbule, Serbule Hills, and Eltibule spawners.

A historical note on the Ilmari desert: originally this area was less about hunting monsters and more about being a bleak and dangerous path through the desert: it provided a hostile environment between war caches. The dehydration mechanic and the dense bunches of monsters made it a very dangerous place.

This design has not stood the test of time, most notably because we added horses and you can just ride past the monsters while sipping water from your saddle. So we're starting to re-envision the desert to be more practical for hunting, more diverse, and more rewarding. (But don't worry, it's still pretty dangerous.)

Special reports (such as the VIP character dump, skill reports, item dumps, etc) now have the server name embedded in their filename. Many reports also have the server name in the JSON itself. The chat log also mentions which server you log into, and notes whenever you switch game areas.

• Revert changes to tree rendering in Serbule, to fix performance hits
  
• Remove shadow-casting from most lights in central Serbule, temporarily until we can do more performance work in there
  
• Further adjustments to tree LODs in Serbule
  
• Disable player hair rendering & physics at a certain distance, controllable by a new setting, "Character LOD Bias"
  
• Fix bug causing particles to not show in the item preview window
  
• Entity nameplates now stream in instead of all instantiating at once. This should reduce drastic framerate dips when high-density areas come into view. (For the settings-tweaker crowd, the rate at which they stream in is controlled by the "MaxActiveLoads" special setting)

• Fix bug causing party voice chat to sometimes leak into other servers(!)
  
• Select Next Pet and Select Previous Pet keybinds now work if you only have a single pet
  
• When you enter a code into the Account Package Golem, it automatically brings up the redemptions window so that you don't have to fish for it in the menus
  
• Move one of Eltibule's respawn points into Hogan's Keep, away from monsters
  
• Double the drop rate of Icy Frog Skins on Frostbelch Frogs (changing from "infuriatingly low drop rate" to "pretty annoying drop rate" as intended)
  
• Touch-up navigation paths in Povus to help prevent monsters getting stuck in walls
  
• When a player accidentally puts a first aid kit or armor patching kit on their ability bar instead of the First Aid or Patch Armor ability, the item now gives a more helpful explanation about what's gone wrong than "That item cannot be used"
  
• Pasha in Ilmari now gives the Zoomer horse glamour instead of the old proto horse version
  
• Medium Prisms can be found in various sources of desert loot
  
• Some of the types of sand needed for glassblowing can now be found in Sun Vale and/or Ilmari
  • Several glassblowing resources are still not (practically) available; this will be fixed soon
• Almanac users rejoice: gardening plants no longer self-destruct when an area is under heavy load
  
• Fix bug causing some looping animations to not play
  
• Adjust humanoid optimization logic to hopefully reduce crashes
  
• Fixed bug with message about having already looted a boss when you hadn't
  
• Fixed bug with orange and white mineral survey recipes in Vidaria not working

This is a bug-fix update.

Our recent change to fix framerate-dependence in movement caused some unexpected behavior with horse turn radius. These issues are fixed now. And now that they are fixed, you may see some differences in turn-speed based on your horse's Friendliness stat: higher friendliness results in higher turn speed. (Self-mounting animals gain turn speed as they level up their animal skill.)

Also note that various horse gear also boosts turn speed, and some of it needs to be rebalanced now that these fixes are in. If your horse is still insanely fast at turning, try taking off your reins for now.

• Fix bug causing the camera to sometimes get stuck to your mouse after letting go of right-click
  
• Remove invisible colliders throughout Serbule
  
• Fix some tree visuals in Serbule
  
• Fix for Serbule rocks changing color as you approach them
  
• Ferris Blueheart in Vidaria now offers his Hellfire-curing hangout to anyone infected with Hellfire, regardless of level. This hangout cures 20 stacks and is repeatable daily.
  
• Realign Serbule boundaries so they match up with the map
  
• Fix for Serbule lamps turning back on immediately after turning off
  
• Fix visual bug with fairies when selected
  
• Fix SSAO affecting fairy wings in a strange way
  
• Various other Serbule physics/collision fixes
  
• Update floor textures in Red Wing Casino
  
• Add missing locked door in Statehelm
  
• Adjust statuary in Statehelm to use modern shader
  
• Added a message when you loot the same boss within a 3 hour period to explain that you are intentionally getting worse loot. (No loot changes here, just adding a message for existing loot behavior that wasn't intuitive.)
  
• A few more titles are now supported cross-server
