Patch Notes

544 – 545

🪟 Window & Taskbar

• Taskbar no longer covers the HUD. While the game window is focused it now stays above the Windows taskbar, so the bottom HUD and quick-belt are never hidden behind an always-on-top taskbar. When you alt-tab away, the client steps aside so other apps come forward normally.

🎯 Skill Macros

• Macros now cast while moving. A skill/buff macro briefly stops your character before casting a non-auto-attack skill, so macro skills fire reliably even while you're running. Auto-attacks are unaffected.
• Reliable hotkeys after zoning. Skill Macro and Item Set Switch hotkeys now reload and repopulate correctly when re-entering the world (e.g. after a zone change or arena), instead of going quiet until you reopen the Macro Manager or relog.
• Party-target combos in REC KEYS. The macro key recorder now accepts Tab + 1–5 (the party-member targeting combos), so you can include selecting a specific party member in a recorded macro. Bare 1/2 and other Tab pairings remain reserved.

⚡ Performance

• Hide Oreads option. A new Options → Advanced checkbox (off by default) hides oread equip-aura effects on all players for FPS relief in crowded areas. Toggles live — turning it back on re-attaches the auras immediately.

• Black screen at high resolution / multiple clients. Fixed a black screen and broken multi-client launch tied to the new UI Scale surface: it is now skipped entirely at 100% scale (pixel-identical), capped to the GPU's maximum render-target size, and a failed bind can no longer wipe the screen. Follow-up to the Display & Video update.
• Black game world in windowed mode at high resolutions. On large monitors (e.g. 2560×1440) a bordered window could exceed the screen and shrink the real client area, blacking out the world. The client now renders at its true window size so the view fills the window correctly.
