Summary
Update v0.2.43 establishes strict client handshake validation and minimum build version gates across all network endpoints to block unauthorized and downgraded game depots. In addition, live combat drop accounting has been reinforced with authoritative server-side bounds, and severed accounts have been purged from public leaderboards.
Security & Server Infrastructure
- Ingress Handshake & Version Gating: Enforced mandatory client build version validation across all backend APIs and event streams. Outdated or modified client depots are strictly refused with automated prompts to update via Steam.
- Real-Time Eviction Broadcasts: Integrated instant server update event streaming across active sessions, automatically alerting connected players and guiding clients to restart when a new update deploys.
- Authoritative Drop Bounds: Hardened live combat loot resolution to enforce strict server-side quantity bounds, capping single-kill equipment to unitary quantities and stackable drops to verified drop tables.
- Public Leaderboard Integrity: Enhanced leaderboard query architecture across players and familiars to strictly exclude severed accounts, synchronizing rank updates with immediate cache invalidation upon administrative actions.
Combat & Interface
- Active Insights Formula Parity: Synchronized Active Insights modal damage projections with live arena combat formulas, accurately accounting for two-handed heavy weapon weakness multipliers, combat style advantages, and critical strike scaling.
