Client 1.0.9 — the Steam Overlay is back Back in 1.0.1 we switched the Steam Overlay off. Typing was breaking — dead text boxes at launch, dead text boxes mid-session — and every version of it seemed to trace back to how the overlay hooks into the client's renderer. Given the choice between a working keyboard and Shift+Tab, we took the keyboard. That call was right at the time. It was also, as…
Client 1.0.4 — typing, and a window that shows up A big one for the Steam client. Everything below is live now and downloads automatically the next time Steam starts the game. Your progress lives on the server, so nothing about your characters changes. Fixed: text boxes that ignored the keyboard The one most of you reported. A text box would look focused — cursor blinking, click registered — an…
You told us a level 40 could delete a level 12,000 and walk away untouchable. You were right, and the reason turned out to be two genuine bugs and one missing rule . Fixing them became a full rebuild of player-versus-player — and it brought a rebalance of Essences and relics with it. Then we went looking at the numbers underneath everything else, and found that levelling and the gold economy ha…
Short version: today's maintenance moved Crystaria onto a dedicated server , and the launch-week lag went into the ground with the old one. Longer version, because you've earned the honesty: since launch the realm had been on shared hosting — our world on someone else's crowded hardware. When you felt those slowdowns and stutters, that was rarely Crystaria working hard; it was the neighbours. W…
Some of you were still hitting dead text boxes after the last update. We said we had one more (bigger) hammer ready — this is it, and it's live now . And since the client was on the workbench anyway, it left with a much-requested upgrade too. New: Fullscreen mode + Quit button · Fullscreen — borderless fullscreen, the kind that alt-tabs instantly with no resolution shuffle. Toggle it under Game…
Client Update — typing fixed, properly this time Two related bugs in the Steam client have been squashed in an update that's live now : · Text boxes dead on launch — no login typing, no chat, until you clicked another window and came back. · Text boxes dying mid-game — after walking around for a while, clicking into chat or the gold-transfer box showed a cursor that ignored your keys. Some of y…
First: I'm sorry. The realm has felt laggy at peak times, and some of you had moves and attacks that simply didn't register. That's a miserable way to experience a game you just discovered, and you deserved better in your first week. Here's what happened. Crystaria Online has run for months on the same modest hosting it grew up on. It turns out that hosting has a hard limit on simultaneous data…
Some of you found that after launching the game, text boxes would not take keyboard input — no login typing, no chat — until you clicked another window and came back. Several of you even worked out that alt-tab trick yourselves. Resourceful. You should never have needed it. The cause was a quirk in how the Steam Overlay hooks into the client: the game window looked focused, but keyboard focus n…
