Elemental Fracture 6.3.4 (6.3.0-hf2) – Patch Notes

Relaunch your launcher, let it pull 6.3.4, and play.

A fix-up pass on 6.3.0: the game now tells you when it cannot sign you in, instead of letting you wander into menus that break, and three bugs from the last few days are gone.

The game tells you when you are not signed in

Until now, a client that could not reach Elemental Fracture, or that had no sign-in at all, went straight to the menu anyway. Everything looked normal until you opened Friends or pressed Play, and then it fell over.

• Sign-in now happens the moment the game starts, not when you press Play.
• If it fails, you get the game’s own CONNECTION ERROR screen, with RETRY and EXIT GAME, before you reach the menu.
• The message tells you which problem it is: not signed in, session expired, servers unreachable, suspended, servers down for maintenance, or an update required.
• RETRY tries again on the spot. If the servers come back, it picks up and carries on into the menu.
• Suspended accounts see their reason instead of a broken menu.

Under the hood this also makes the game report its Elemental Fracture version (6.3.4) to our servers, which is what the “update required” message now works from. And the old sign-in mod is gone: auth_injector has been folded into the appserver mod, so there is one sign-in instead of two. The launcher removes it for you.

Fixes

• Audio no longer goes muffled after your first match. A match that ended while you were inside the storm, or wearing Wolfsblood or Invisibility, could leave the low-pass filter those effects use switched on for the rest of the session. Every match after that sounded dull, and only restarting the game cleared it. The filter is now reset when you come back to the menu.
• Queueing straight after a match works. Leaving a match and immediately queueing again could leave you looking “ready” to the server, so the button asked you to UNREADY instead of letting you queue. Readiness is now spent the moment you land in a match, and the menu gets a fresh party state the moment you come back.
• The RANK UP screens show the real reward. Mage Rank and Class Mastery level-up cards could show UNLOCALIZED for the reward name and type, with a missing-image tile. They now show the reward, its type and its icon, on both cards.
