【Weekly Update Announcement】New Melee Affixes & LAN Multiplayer Are Here!

Thank you all for your feedback and support this week! This update brings new melee affixes, LAN multiplayer, and Halloween-themed decorations, along with fixes for various bugs. Here’s what’s included:

New Content

• New Melee Affixes: Added 11 melee-exclusive affixes featuring healing, damage reduction, combo stacking, increased attack speed, dodge counters, and AoE damage. Existing equipment affixes remain unchanged.
• New Supply Crates: Added lumber crates and metal crates with corresponding loot, and adjusted crate placement in certain areas.
• Halloween Decorations: Updated Halloween-themed decorations and seasonal appearances for selected characters, NPCs, and zombies.

Multiplayer & Lobbies

• LAN Multiplayer Support: Search for rooms, join via IP address, or set a room password.
• Switch Modes Freely: Switch between Internet and LAN modes directly from the main menu without restarting the game.
• Improved Lobby UI: Simplified room creation and search interfaces and fixed display issues.
• Multiplayer Bug Fixes: Fixed issues with LAN rooms not appearing in searches and synchronization getting stuck after joining a room.
• Version Information: Room lists now display game versions. Incompatible rooms remain visible, with prompts indicating whether the host or joining player needs to update.
• Performance Improvements: Reduced some performance overhead during multiplayer sessions.

Inventory & Items

• Improved the responsiveness of inventory and storage management, and fixed issues with moving items into storage and installing attachments.
• Fixed mouse position resetting when opening inventory interfaces, which could interfere with aiming after closing them.
• Locked items retain their locked status when picked up again after death.
• Newly picked-up stackable items can now stack with matching locked items in your inventory.
• Fixed incorrect crafting results for certain item recipes.

Combat & Teleportation

• BOSS AI Improvements: Fixed an issue where world BOSSes could remain stationary when attacked from a distance. BOSSes will now attempt to chase attackers and return to their normal behavior if they cannot reach them or leave their activity range.
• Stamina Recovery Fix: Fixed an issue where stamina recovery cooldowns failed in multiplayer, causing stamina to recover immediately and continuously after dodging.
• Improved Teammate Teleportation: Improved teleport landing positions and fixed players getting stuck above indoor teammates or on rooftops.
• Corpse Fixes: Fixed missing death markers for clients and corpses failing to disappear after all loot was collected.
• Improved Corpse Collision: Air walls can now block corpses, reducing the chance of BOSS corpses rolling into water and becoming difficult to retrieve.

Achievements & Saves

• Achievement Fix: Fixed the “Construction Chicken” achievement. Both individual building repairs and one-click repairs now count toward progress.
• Updated Text: Added and corrected multilingual text, including descriptions for new affixes and related interfaces.

Save Compatibility: Existing save files remain compatible.

Reminder: Before playing multiplayer, make sure the host and all joining players have updated to the same game version.
