Patch 132.0 Changelog:
Hello everyone!
We know that many of you have been looking forward to the return of the Animalia update, and we want to start by thanking you immensely for your patience.
But now, with some tweaking and testing, we're happy to announce:
The update is back, and better!
- Critical bug fixes that affected gameplay and performance.
- Improvements to Animal systems such as balancing.
(we're making adjustments to the hunger and thirst balancing)
- Graphical and performance optimizations
This is just the beginning - new updates are on the way with even more content and fixes!
IMPORTANT NOTICE – NEW STATUS AVAILABLE!
All animals now feature complete and detailed stats for each growth stage: Baby, Juvie, Sub Adult, and Adult.
From now on, each species has its own unique attributes such as:
Health
Stamina
Oxygen
Food
Water
Attack
Armor
Fortitude
Weight
This update allows for balanced combat analysis and better tracking of each animal's evolution!
Note that the stats may be adjusted at any time if any imbalance is found.
IMPORTANT - CONNECTING WITH EPIC GAMES ACCOUNT ON ANIMALIA
We're working to improve Animalia's cross-player integration, and we want to alert all players to an important point:
The game may ask you to connect to your Epic account via the NAVIGATOR. Be aware:
When prompted, the game will open an external browser window for you to log in with your Epic account.
Once logged in, you can press Alt+Tab and return to the game.
This process is safe and necessary to link your account correctly.
If the window doesn't open or crashes, we recommend:
Close and restart the game.
This step is essential to guarantee access to online features.
EASY ANTI-CHEAT (EAC)
Animalia uses the Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) system to maintain the integrity and security of the game environment.
If you are experiencing errors when starting the game related to the EAC, follow the steps below to reinstall the service correctly.
HOW TO REINSTALL EASY ANTI-CHEAT - STEP BY STEP (STEAM VERSION):
1-Access the Animalia installation folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Animalia
2-Inside this folder, double-click on InstallAntiCheat or go to:
EasyAntiCheat Double-click on the file: EasyAntiCheat_Setup.exe
After that, try to open the game normally.
Important:
Make sure your antivirus or firewall isn't blocking the EAC.
Add the game and EAC to the exception list if necessary.
ANIMALIA NEWS - TWO NEW MAPS AVAILABLE!
ZSavannah - A wild and vibrant savannah, with dense vegetation and several biomes
⚠️ TECHNICAL NOTICE - DARK SHADOW ON ZSAVANNAH MAP
We have identified that some players may notice excessive dark shadows in certain areas of this map in particular. This is caused by a small graphical conflict with Unreal Engine 5's Lumen lighting system.
To reduce or eliminate this visual defect:
✅ Run the game using DirectX 12
ZSavannah without directx12

NEW SERVER ORGANIZATION
As of the new update, we're implementing a server filter to improve your multiplayer experience!
SERVERS ARE NOW DIVIDED INTO TWO CATEGORIES:
✅ Official Servers
Managed by the Animalia team
With standardized rules and realism, stability and active support
Ideal for those looking for a more balanced and monitored experience
We will soon be officially announcing the rules for our servers, which will be divided into two types with the following modes:
✅ Realism
✅ Standardized rules
✅Unofficial servers
Created by the community
May contain modifications, customized rules and varied game styles.
IMPORTANT NOTICE - USE OF THE “OFFICIAL” TAG ON SERVERS
To ensure clarity, transparency and confidence in the Animalia multiplayer experience, we would like to inform you:
Unofficial servers may NOT use the “Official” tag in their names, descriptions or titles.
The “Official” tag is exclusive to servers managed directly by the Animalia team, who will have some of the DEVs overseeing them.
Only servers authenticated and maintained by the development team will have the tag that will appear in the game filter.
ADMIN PANEL UPDATE
Attention, server administrators!
With the new update, we've made an important change to the Admin panel related to adding characters to the game:
🔄 Now, when adding an animal via the Admin panel, it will only have the Juvenile (Juv) stage.
❌ It will no longer be possible to directly select the Baby, SubAdult or Adult stages when adding the character.
Why this change?
To maintain more balance and natural progression in gameplay
To avoid abuse and unbalance in PvE/PvP servers and Realism
To encourage the gradual evolution of animals in the game environment
Growth continues to be possible normally from the baby stage during gameplay, according to the time and actions taken by the player.
IMPORTANT NOTICE - DISCONTINUATION OF THE OLD VERSION OF ANIMALIA
Please note that the old version of Animalia will only be maintained until August 2025.
As of August, this version will be officially discontinued and will no longer receive updates, corrections or support.
Why this change?
Our focus is on the new version, which brings graphical improvements, a refined progression system, new maps, animals, bug fixes and greater stability.
Maintaining two versions limits our development and causes division in the community.
What you need to know:
~
The old version will continue to work until the beginning of August, but with limited resources and no new fixes.
We recommend that everyone migrates to the new version of Animalia, which is already available with several improvements.
Data from the old version will not be transferred and the saves have been changed, so if there is an animal saved in the slot, it will lose its progression.
This version is in the current steam version of the game. It will soon be moved to the “oldversion” tab in the Steam Beta branch. We recommend updating to the new version to continue receiving support and updates.
RELEBRATING UPDATED MODELS - NEW VISUAL
With the latest Animalia update, we've made significant visual improvements to some of the game's main playable animals!
Lion
New models of the lion and lioness covering also new Sub-Adult models for both
Hyena
A new Hyena model has also been added
Crocodile
New models for the 4 phases of the crocodile
ADJUSTMENT IN SOME ANIMALS
Added vocalization sounds to the hare and adjustments to the model
I would like to express my sincere thanks for everyone's understanding and patience!
