Patch notes2026.09.16.5
New launcher, map, chat and a major security audit
2 new

The biggest patch so far: a launcher with sign-in and friends, minimap and world map, redesigned windows, a new chat and dozens of anti-cheat fixes.
This patch brings together several days of work: a launcher that signs you in and shows your friends, a real minimap and world map, the game windows redesigned with one visual language, a new chat and a full security audit of the whole game. Updating is required: the world checks the client version on connect.
Launcher
- The launcher signs in with your Ashram account and hands the session to the game: no more login screen inside the client.
- Steam linking from the account panel; if the game was bought on Steam, the launcher knows.
- Friends panel with collapsible Ashram and Steam sections, search, hide offline and friend chat with a right-click menu.
- Registration inside the launcher, news with the full patch notes and a Repair button that verifies the launcher and the game by hash.
- Under Steam the launcher leaves patching to Steam; outside Steam it keeps updating from the CDN.
Map and minimap
- New Surya minimap with a watercolor ring and the full world map on the M key, in the Premium Store style.
- Map marks: one per player, placed from the minimap or the map and removed with right click.
- Party pings: a button opens the action wheel (attack, defend, regroup...) and the ping lasts five seconds, one per player, with a sound. The compass shows pings and party arrows.
- Minimap and map indicators are black with white text; the big map shows lineages, party and clan, no mobs, and bosses only when close.
Windows
- Options, Friends, Clan and Samvara now share the Premium Store format: categories with icons, banners and item backgrounds.
- The Clan shows its missions with their own splash and a progress view with level, bonuses and icons.
- Every window opens centered between the compass and the action bar and remembers where you left it; the inventory stays as it was.
- The character sheet's crafting tab uses icon-only filters with black tooltips. Gear is no longer crafted from the sheet: that belongs to workbenches and NPCs.
- Quests moved down so they don't cover the UI and collapse when you click their title.
Chat
- A cleaner chat: channels live as icons on the left side, with their name on hover.
- The tabs on top are only for private conversations: one per person, with an unread dot and a sound when a whisper arrives.
- Clan and Party messages carry their tag and no longer get mixed up.
Security and stability
- Full audit of the game, the server, the website and the infrastructure.
- New protections against cheating and item duplication in trades, storage, loot, market, death and crafting.
- Safer accounts: hardened login, all sessions closed if a stolen token is detected and registration with real verification.
- The server rejects outdated clients and closes connections that never finish joining.
Outside the game
- The website gets security headers, a real anti-bot check and limits on email sending.
- The minimap ring and the chat icons were redrawn in the UI style.
