Code Master Server Migrated to SQLite3 as the default database choice, MySQL can still be used, but will require additional configuration. With SQLite3 there is no need for any dedicated SQL server, hosting your own online server will be much easier.

- Patch 1.0.1.2 (2020-06-16) - 11 February 2025

Fixed admin rename command, you can no longer bypass profanity filter, and you cannot use whitespaces in the new name. You can no longer kick or ban other admins, as an admin. Added infestus_max_characters which allows the server admin to decide how many characters can be created per SteamID. Max is 12 for now, 5 is the default.

- Patch 1.0.1.1 (2019-12-29) - 11 February 2025
Code Master Server Simplified printing of debug messages. All data is now transferred in a more compact way, reducing packet size by roughly 3-4 times. Group data is no longer sent over on every spawn, lost data will be sent over using a queueing system which deals with storing data for players that are not available at the time. If you transit from one area to another, enter a dungeon or got disconnected for a short time but returned before being deemed offline, the master will queue all data that was meant for you. This data will be re-transmitted to you when you rejoin. Which means that lost private, guild, and group messages will always arrive! And other useful stuff. Regular updates are now being sent unreliably. When selecting a character or changing map, the world number will be clamped to make sure that you are not redirected to a dead world. If for some reason your character wa…
- Patch 1.0.1.0 (2019-07-18) - 11 February 2025
Code Master Server Fixed a bug in the group system which would compute a faulty group size when someone left the group. Leading to group disband even if there were two players left in the group. Connectivity state is no longer relying on information from the gameservers, this will help ensure that you don't end up being left online forever in the system. Players can now reconnect to the master whenever, and initially players will now only be registered when they fully connect to the gameserver. Previously there could be scenarios where the gameserver tried to register players to the master too early which lead to inconsistencies. Changing major options on the client will no longer disconnect you from the master server until you reconnect manually. Improved caching algorithms when dealing with data packet broadcasting on the master. All chatting is now done through the master server, whi…
- Patch 1.0.0.9 (2019-01-14) - 11 February 2025
Code Core & Misc Added support for Discord RPC, on Windows. Added full dedicated server support for Linux! Major performance & network optimizations + refactoring. The Item Creator tool is now available to the public! NPCs & Player Models will no longer twitch randomly and uncontrollably. buildcubemaps will no longer cause the game to enter a deadlock. Applied a simple fix for the FMOD mute logic, whenever a new sound would play, the volume would not be set to 0, if mute was enabled. So for a brief second you would hear tiny high pitch noises every time a new sound was being played. Added graceful termination for Linux DS, using a proper signal handler. All gameservers will now set -nohltv by default, to prevent hltv from taking up an unnecessary port for each server. Fixed a race condition which would occur when a client connected to a server, the client would execute a ClientCMD on an…
- Patch 1.0.0.8 Hotfix 1 (2018-04-21) - 11 February 2025
Code Core Optimized glow outline effect. Optimized 3D info HUD. Fixed a crash related to the glow effect. NPCs NPCs can no longer be interrupted when they are returning to spawn, previously they would just stop moving if they were blocked. Fixed health and focus regen issues, NPCs should no longer regen super fast when leaving combat. Players Changed the default keybind for toggling walking to keypad minus, to prevent random walk enable when you alt+tab out of the game, write exec config_default in the console to enforce the new config + keybinds. Nerfed knockback, especially in PvP. Added knockback support for spells, Arcane Blast will now knock enemies away. Fixed thirdperson camera, it is now slightly smoother and updates faster, prevents clipping through walls. Thirdperson camera will now be properly reset on connection. GUI & HUD 2D info HUD should now center-align properly on smal…
- Patch 1.0.0.8 (2018-04-15) - 11 February 2025
Code Core Major optimization for client & server, reduced costly code, improved expensive code. Data can be retrieved even faster, clients should expect decent FPS boosts, especially on a low end system. NPCs Increased NPC chase distance by 50%. Players Walking can now be toggled. When entering a server with dead players they should no longer go T-pose. Weapons will no longer have their angle or position prematurely updated while drawing or holstering. Fixed a bug which would allow the player to execute another spell based attack while currently doing a spell based attack, this would break the current attack. Improved melee accuracy slightly. GUI & HUD Fixed a bug which would render group members in the wrong position in the minimap if they left your PVS. Fixed a potential bug which would allow the player to track the same quest twice. The 2D info view HUD should be more consistent and…
- Patch 1.0.0.7 (2018-03-27) - 11 February 2025
Code Core Fixed issues related to the new thread safety logic, players should no longer experience brief lag spikes. Entities Corpses will now ignore +use if there is no loots available, this will ensure that no loot issues will occur if corpses pile up. Added trigger_pvp_zone which can be used to mark an area as a PvP zone or safe zone, in PvP only servers/maps safe zones can be used to create certain non-PvP areas. While PVE servers may have some PvP forced areas. Whenever you enter a PvP zone the minimap zone text will be rendered in red. NPCs Increased idle distance and decreased idle check time. Players Voice will be fully disabled for players further than 1000 units from the local player, group members will not be affected. Added many fixes to the thirdperson camera, proper collision handling, smoother transitioning, over the shoulder support, check advanced options for setting up…

Code Core All non dungeon gameservers will be restarted at a certain time during the day, by default everyday at 4 am, to battle the VAR (lag) issues due to high uptime. Added proper thread safety for server and client. This should fix the rare crashes that have been reported. NPCs Patrolling NPCs will no longer bug up when you engage them, Smuggler Legionnaire would randomly run back to the initial patrol point if he was too far away from it when engaged. Players Added a simple magic lock-on algorithm for improved hit detection with magic spells, this is a temporary solution to the bugged crosshair angles. Fixed PvP with melee weapons. Voice proximity will be disabled between group members. Fixed a major bug in the group system, if the group leader left the group, the group would break. Updated max playerID value in infestus_selected_player/last_player cvars. Fixed miss calculated equi…
- Patch 1.0.0.5 (2018-03-03) - 11 February 2025
