Known Issues

R65 Green Growth potion box not yet rewarded, will be added later on.
Crashes may occur when running the game in MacOS Mojave. A workaround is to launch the game with -force-glcore (which can be added to the :*Launch Arguments box in the launcher options). There are also reports that 10.14.2 fixes this issue.
Party/Companion nameplates can be visually obscured if enough buffs are added for icons to wrap to three rows.
Visual quest indicators may be missing from compass. Adding the data to support them is an ongoing design process.
Pets cannot follow players onto moving platforms.
If an item’s name is in Runic, its flag as “Private Property” will also appear in Runic.
Players with Tenant permissions on a Lot cannot place their own Player Vendors.
Some decorations placed in basements may shift through walls and end up in inaccessible locations.
Players may be unable to interact with objects via double-click if their framerate is poor. A workaround is to use the “E” interaction key.
Some pledge, add on, and stretch goal items have not yet been built and/or do not yet have tech support.
Some virus programs with outdated libraries may attempt to quarantine essential game files, mistakenly identifying them as threats. This can have significant effects, including the client not starting at all. We recommend keeping antivirus programs updated frequently as they address problems. Workarounds include reinstalling and launching the client with the aggressive antivirus software disabled, or whitelisting the game directory in the antivirus list of exceptions.

Known Issue: Current vault item – Tower (Village Home) has incorrect store name and images. Previously it showed Wizard Tower, now it is still incorrect and shows Tower (Town Home.)

For example, /BulkSetItemPermissions trustee. This command should be used sparingly and with caution, be sure you understand what it will do before using it!

When learning the “Hustle” emote, it will incorrectly say that you learned the “Calm Down” emote.
Previous vault items that were taken out of rotation were accidentally included in build 981, this will be corrected and they will be removed again in a patch.
Crashes may occur when running the game in MacOS Mojave. A workaround is to launch the game with -force-glcore (which can be added to the Launch Arguments box in the launcher options). There are also reports that 10.14.2 fixes this issue.
Elysian Illumination no longer damages undead, and has a broken range for applying heals.
Party/Companion nameplates can be visually obscured if enough buffs are added for icons to wrap to three rows.

Some pledge, add on, and stretch goal items have not yet been built and/or do not yet have tech support.
Some virus programs with outdated libraries may attempt to quarantine essential game files, mistakenly identifying them as threats. This can have significant effects, including the client not starting at all. We recommend keeping antivirus programs updated frequently as they address problems. Workarounds include reinstalling and launching the client with the aggressive antivirus software disabled, or whitelisting the game directory in the antivirus list of exceptions.

To encourage players to try out the new crown store, they will get a small 1 day long buff with any purchase. The buff strength is the same whether you spend 1 crown or 1000.

If you make another purchase and already have three buffs, the oldest one should be overridden, and you can also dismiss the buffs yourself. These buffs will remain in place for at least two months but possibly longer to help players with the transition to an in game store instead of web store.

R56 Restart and Rollback

Welcome to Shroud of the Avatar: Forsaken Virtues Release 56! “How to Play” instructions and game update notes on Release 56 are available here.

We have to restart Release 56 and rollback to the game save state before we launched it this morning. We unfortunately skipped a step during the launch this morning and did not run a data migration for brewing which means that all brewing items might be in a corrupted state unless we rollback and relaunch.^[2]
