Mortal Online new build
This next patch is going to update Mortal Online to a new build of both the Unreal Engine and the network solution. This will allow us to finally solve our current critical issues we could not solve within the old build. This is an important step which had placed most of our planned feature development on hold while this build was prepared.
We have been running a separate test server in parallel to the live server in order to be able to properly test this new build before going live with it. Unfortunately, we have not been able to do this before. Thanks to a very dedicated testing team, we have ironed out the most critical bugs in the new build. We’d like to extend our thanks to the test team who helped us with this.
The feature section below lists that which has been added with the new build; a little information about each area will be explained on our website on Monday. This new build is planned to go live on Monday 11th of October. Some updates to the list may come on Monday.
