405.2 Live Bugfix Release Preview

This update has been released officially to the live shards and the below is now obsolete! Thanks everyone again for the testing!

---------------------

The combat revamp is in full swing on Blight and things are proceeding smoothly - thanks super much to everyone who's been providing testing and suggestions! We're confident that this will result in a much improved Istarian experience, and welcome any feedback from tests on Blight via the forums, support tickets, or Discord!

We haven't just been working on the combat revamp on Blight though, we've also been working on new features and most importantly bug fixes for the game client as well - however it hasn't been possible for the community to benefit from these bug fixes as the Blight client is incompatible with the live shards, so we've back-ported a number of fixes to the live codebase and are preparing a live update! For now this update is limited to bug fixes only as we're circumventing our usual release process, but more may be possible in the future!

As Blight is unavailable for testing this update we're instead offering an early release that can be downloaded below - please see the google document for the full changelog, but the highlights are:

• Fixed healthbars getting stuck in combat and no longer updating
• Fixed enemies visually appearing to be falling behind what's happening in combat, appearing to be fighting but are actually dead, preventing looting
• Fixed text corruption and invisible chat input line issues
• Fixed issues that could cause the game interface to be reset to default, especially if the game crashed during shutdown

This update will be available for a little bit as a preview before we put it live for everyone so if you're interested in testing the update or benefiting from the fixes early, please download and view the google document!
