Acknowledged issues and fixes
Iron Gate's September 11 notes report fixes for Deep North heavy armor repair, Shaman damage and healing, snow behavior, and sound. The Steam patch addresses unwanted Forge of Potential unlocks, a zone-loading crash, permission IDs, and achievement messaging.
Item stands still need care: the Steam fix is conditional. Iron Gate advises backups before removing valuable items from stands encountered since installing 1.0. Read the hotfix details before doing so.
Guide review status
The Deep North, region, boss, release, and achievements pages now reference the published notes. Exact Kall combat statistics, summoning quantities, drops, and Forsaken Power remain unverified because the cited notes do not provide them. Console-command names are confirmed; individual descriptions require the installed game's help output.
Mod compatibility and platform-specific hardware performance are not established by these notes. This site has not performed a full game or dedicated-server playtest for this editorial batch.
Updating a server
Preserve a complete backup, update the application, and test loading, joining, permission lists, and saving. The server update guide covers the procedure; connection troubleshooting covers post-update join failures.
