*Known Issues
*Known Issues
:*An avatar’s body can go visually missing due to certain body-mesh adjusting equipable items. (e.g. Ring of Cuttlekin)
:*R65 Green Growth potion box not yet rewarded, will be added later on.
:*Interrupting sheet music with another song may result in the music breaking for remote clients listening.
:*Crashes may occur when running the game in MacOS Mojave. A workaround is to launch the game with -force-glcore (which can be added to the :*Launch Arguments box in the launcher options). There are also reports that 10.14.2 fixes this issue.
:*Linux: Binding keys to the keypad’s period (.) key results in the key being bound to the keypad’s forward slash (/) key.
:*Party/Companion nameplates can be visually obscured if enough buffs are added for icons to wrap to three rows.
:*Linux: Playing on Fullscreen in desktop environments other than Ubuntu’s Unity (Gnome3, KDE, Cinnamon, etc.) may result in being unable to click on anything. If the client is started in windowed, then adjusted TO fullscreen, it may then work.
:*Visual quest indicators may be missing from compass. Adding the data to support them is an ongoing design process.
:*Grass will not always be cleared when using the roadway pavers, resulting in grass poking through. We are looking into a reliable solution to this issue.
:*Pets cannot follow players onto moving platforms.
:*Number keys do not activate hotbar skills if set to auto-hide from game settings.
:*If an item’s name is in Runic, its flag as “Private Property” will also appear in Runic.
:*Deleting a character will reset the local settings for the entire client. Other accounts, or offline/online characters will also have their settings reset.
:*Players with Tenant permissions on a Lot cannot place their own Player Vendors.
:*Ring of Fire VFX will appear distorted when displayed against walls and water surfaces.
:*Avatars do not go back to idle animations after walking with an instrument being played.

:*Not all items listed in R42 Instructions are yet in the game or Add On Store
:*Cloaks will often sort through the avatar’s body

:*Players may be unable to interact with objects via double-click if their framerate is poor. A workaround is to use the “E” interaction key.
:*Players may be unable to interact with objects via double-click if their framerate is poor. A workaround is to use the “E” interaction key.
:*Some spell VFX do not play properly
:*Some textures may look incorrect due to optimizations (white, black, pink, low resolution, pixelated, etc.)
:*Rain and Snow is coming through the roof of some buildings
:*Some SFX are not properly tied to the sound volume controls.
:*Water lots in Dynamic Player Owned Towns can currently only be placed along shorelines, not on docks

:*Some pledge, add on, and stretch goal items have not yet been built and/or do not yet have tech support.
:*Some virus programs with outdated libraries may attempt to quarantine essential game files, mistakenly identifying them as threats. This can have significant effects, including the client not starting at all. We recommend keeping antivirus programs updated frequently as they address problems. Workarounds include reinstalling and launching the client with the aggressive antivirus software disabled, or whitelisting the game directory in the antivirus list of exceptions.

For example, /BulkSetItemPermissions trustee.

The new version picks up to 8 targets in the forward arc and each will get hit 0-3 arrows, on average, each will get hit by 2 arrows and each will do 75% of melee damage. 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.

  • Previously, Tame Movement Speed was not making your pet move faster but giving it dexterity. This has been fixed. Tame Movement Speed will now make your pet move faster. Dexterity has been seperated from that stat and is now named Tame Creature Dexterity. Skills and gems/jewel that previously had Tame Movement Speed now have Tame Creature Dexterity added to them along with the movement speed. Tame Movement Speed was previously showing a decimal number; it’s now showing a percentage to reflect the pet sheet. The Pet Speed Training innate skill will now give movement speed properly and dexterity as a second stat.
  • Tame Attack Precision was changed to Tame Critical Damage Multiplier. This is for Helm of the Stag Spirit and the Belt of Control artifacts and the Tamed Precision Imbued Gem (which now give a percentage as shown on the pet sheet instead of a decimal.) The value has not changed.
  • Now that wyverns have a higher base damage, their bonus critical damage multiplier while in combat mode has been reduced from 200% to 100% for PvE and from 100% to 50% for PvP.

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

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.
