*'''Crash fix!''' We managed to find a work around for the crash that most often occurred zoning to Skrekk Caverns from Skrekk but could happen anywhere.
*Known Issues
*'''Crash/hang/broken state fix!''' This issue was the result of a failed asset load that should have succeeded but didn’t for no good reason. This was visible as a 94% stuck load. Also visible in some situations when game would feel like it lost its connection but kept on playing. Thanks to Skeggy Media for repro on this!

*Fixed bugs and confusing UI issues with house selection and default empty land or default row homes on lots.  It should now be easier and more obvious to switch back to the default home on a row lot.  Also updated display name and description for new crown shop item: Empty Land (Row Home) which allows removal of default row homes for empty land instead.
*Known Issue: Current vault item – Tower (Village Home) has incorrect store name and images.  Previously it showed Wizard Tower, now it is still incorrect and shows Tower (Town Home.)  The actual item purchased, which you can mouse over and click on for 3d preview, is correct.  This will be fixed correctly in another patch.

The net result is on no armor targets, this will double the effective damage.  On high armor targets, this will likely still do significantly more damage.  To compensate for the significant improvement in power of this shot, the cool down time is being moved from 6/12 to 10/20.  Also, Arrow usage chance is now 12 but now Ammo Scavenger chance will apply to help reduce arrows.  Previously it did not.

*To encourage players to try out the new crown store, they will get a small 1 day long buff with any purchase. The buff strength is the same whether you spend 1 crown or 1000. You can have up to three buffs at once and there are currently 22 variations.

Workarounds include reinstalling and launching the client with the aggressive antivirus software disabled, or whitelisting the game directory in the antivirus list of exceptions.

R56 Restart and Rollback

Welcome to Shroud of the Avatar: Forsaken Virtues Release 56! “How to Play” instructions and game update notes on Release 56 are available here.

We have to restart Release 56 and rollback to the game save state before we launched it this morning. We unfortunately skipped a step during the launch this morning and did not run a data migration for brewing which means that all brewing items might be in a corrupted state unless we rollback and relaunch.[2]
