  Realmlords V4.6.2 Hotfix

  Realmlords V4.6.2 Hotfix SEASON 1 CONTINUES (NO ROSTER WIPE) - V4.6.2 is a hotfix on top of V4.6 / V4.6.1. Competitive ladder season ID remains 1. Existing Season 1 characters are retained when updating. - Title screen now shows V4.6.2 while leaderboards remain Season 1. - A future Season 2 will only begin when the season ID is officially changed in version.json. NECROMANCER - Innate Skeletal Summoning is no longer stripped when skill-tree passive flags are applied on load. - Necromantic Void now triggers from projectile kills as well as melee ability kills (consistent with the skill description). VISUAL FIXES - Player debuff vignettes (poison, freeze, burn, etc.) render in screen space again and are no longer pinned to the world map when the camera moves. - Mana Surge rainbow projectile trails draw on the mid-fx overlay instead of leaking world-camera transforms (fixes random "spell copy" streaks across the map). ACHIEVEMENTS - Key Master and Treasure Hunter achievement icons now use the correct key and chest loot art (no more fallback / unknown icon). SAVE DATA — KEYS - Keys no longer disappear after exiting to the main menu and reloading the same character. - Save snapshots now sync key counts from the player into the vault before writing, instead of overwriting the player from a stale vault. - Loading a continued run no longer resets the key vault when restoring from a snapshot. AUTO EQUIP & AUTO SELL (PER CLASS) - New class auto-gear profiles tailor weapon priorities and off-hand behavior to each class (what they can equip, default shield vs dual wield vs magic focus). - Auto-equip scoring respects Weapon Mastery, Shield Mastery, and Dual Wield Mastery investments from the skill tree. - Auto-sell keeps mastery-aligned weapon spares and loadout weapons; class-blocked gear is sold immediately. - Paladin class weapon bonus corrected — secondary bonus is sword (axes are not a Paladin weapon). AUTO-SELL RELIABILITY - Rarity tier auto-sell (Common, Magic, Rare, etc.)...

  Realmlords V4.6.1 Hotfix Patch

  Realmlords V4.6.1 Hotfix Patch Notes Rendering — Native Pixi WebGL - Removed the legacy Three.js gameplay stack entirely. All world terrain, actors, projectiles, fog, doors, hazards, and ores now render through native Pixi WebGL only. - Replaced the old multi-pass GPU pipeline (PixiInstancedPass, separate HUD pass, world-buffer composites) with a single PixiGameplayView using one stage and one present() per frame. - Fixed a black-screen regression where gameplay UI appeared but the world stayed black due to a gpuPixiPass / gpuPixiInstancedPass mismatch. The active renderer is now window.pixiView. - Removed CPU-to-GPU world-buffer conversion paths that painted the offscreen p5 buffer and uploaded it as a fullscreen texture every frame. - Removed the tail-fallback canvas composite when GPU hazard or mineral counts were low. World content is now fed directly as Pixi sprites through PixiWorldInstanceCollector. - RealmlordsTextureLoader now binds source images directly for GPU textures and only creates offscreen canvas copies when p5 still requires them. - PixiP5Shim foreground effects now pool and reuse containers, sprites, graphics, and text instead of destroying and recreating them every frame. - HUD and mid-FX Canvas2D layers now upload to the GPU only when marked dirty after painting instead of refreshing textures every frame. - Renamed rendering internals to PixiWorldInstanceCollector, PixiGameplayRenderer, initPixiGameplayView(), and CONFIG.gpu.pixiWorld. - F3 performance overlay now reports Pixi sprite statistics correctly instead of undefined instanced-pass fields. - Removed the Three.js npm dependency and vendor copy from the build pipeline. Performance - Reduced per-frame GPU uploads and allocations during combat-heavy scenes. - Skipped unnecessary offscreen world-buffer clears when pixiWorld is active. - Reduced redundant compositing work by using a single WebGL present at the end of each frame. Druid — Bear Form - Renamed Bear Transformation to Bear Form acr...

  Realmlords V4.6 Patch Notes

  Realmlords V4.6 Patch Notes - V4.6 is still Season 1. Competitive ladder season ID remains 1. Existing Season 1 characters are retained when updating. - Title screen now shows V4.6 while leaderboards remain Season 1. - A future Season 2 will only begin when the season ID is officially changed in version.json. VISUAL FIXES & DRAW RELIABILITY - Realm Hoard anger warning no longer displays a giant red rectangle on the dungeon floor. Warning effects are now limited to a screen-edge vignette. - Spinning blade traps and other floor hazards now render reliably in GPU mode with Canvas2D fallbacks while textures load. - Hazard and mineral GPU rendering has been hardened with texture validation, retry paths, and procedural fallback rendering. - World-tail rendering now includes broader fallback handling to prevent hazards and minerals from disappearing. - Harmful ground effects such as lava pools and burning ground now render beneath enemies, ore, loot, spawners, pillars, and players. - Elemental and debuff hit feedback is now screen-edge only. Fixed floor tiles lighting up from lightning, fire, hazards, or enemy attacks. - Wizard and class spell projectiles keep their native spell art. Weapon enchants add an outer glow only — the projectile body does not recolor. - With two weapon enchants equipped, projectile, melee, and weapon glow layers alternate between enchant colors. - Bard musical note projectiles keep spell-colored bodies; enchant glow applies to outer layers only. PERFORMANCE & GPU (PIXi WEBGL) - Gameplay rendering consolidated on the Pixi WebGL pipeline. Legacy Three.js world pass and duplicate GPU fallback paths removed. - Fixed world map size mismatches (hardcoded 4096 vs actual map size) that caused invisible walls and misaligned parallax. - Dungeon floors now expand macro-tile walkability so visible floor matches collision — no more walking on painted ground that blocks movement. - Map-edge clamping no longer runs inside procedural dungeons; only walkable ...
