Client 1.0.3 — The Bigger Hammer (and Fullscreen)

Crystaria Online · published

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 → Accessibility → Steam Client, or just press F11 any time. Your choice is remembered between sessions.
  • Quit Game — a proper exit button in the same panel, so you're never hunting for a close box while fullscreen.

Fixed: the typing bug, at the root

The Steam Overlay (Shift+Tab) is now disabled in the Crystaria client. Every version of the typing bug — dead boxes at launch, dead boxes mid-session — traced back to the way the overlay hooks into the client's renderer. The previous update papered over it with focus repairs; this one removes the cause. Typing now works the way it does in a normal browser, always.

The trade-off, honestly:

  • Shift+Tab no longer opens the overlay while in-game. For friends, chat, or the web browser, alt-tab to Steam itself.
  • Achievements still unlock and record normally — you just won't see the pop-up toast in-game. They're all there in your Steam profile.

Crystaria is a game you type in constantly — chat, trades, search boxes, gold transfers. Between a working keyboard and an overlay, the keyboard wins every time.

The update downloads automatically the next time Steam starts the game — quickest check: launch it and press F11. If the game goes fullscreen, you're on the new build. Any issues report in Discord
