V Rising June 16 Update Patch Notes

New Features

• Players can now dismantle floors and borders that are next to walls/pillars without having to dismantle any wall/pillar first, as long as this does not leave any wall/pillar without a floor connection (#305517).
• Localization has been added for Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Russian, and Turkish.
• The localization for Portuguese – Brazil, French, German, Simplified Chinese, and Spanish has been updated to be more accurate and up to date.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug where it was possible to jump over walls in certain cases.
• Fixed a crash that could occur when voice muting players.
• Fixed a bug that could sometimes cause players to not be able to connect to servers (related to #304262, but not expected to solve all reported cases).
• Improved error handling and error feedback when the server saves the game world (related to #304262 and #304381 but is not expected to solve all reported cases).
• Added more validation and safety checks to catch more types of rare errors while saving.
• If the server fails to save, all active players on the server now get a chat notification containing basic information about the type of error that was encountered.
• The server no longer uses the Windows temp folder while saving the world. It instead saves the temporary files to a neighboring folder to the target save path.
• Fixed an issue where some font characters were displayed with the wrong font in Hungarian and French (among other languages).
• Fixed an issue where territory and buildings had a chance of not getting destroyed with their castle if they were constructed at a large enough distance from the Castle Heart (#306085, #305657).
• Fixed an issue where the screen could slowly turn dark (#304465, #304266).
• Fixed a crash that some players experienced when launching the game due to a video player crash. If you are experiencing a launch crash before the cinematic plays, you can turn videos off by entering -noVideo as a launch option to the game (related to #304250 but not expected to solve all reported cases).
