Discussion in this thread! (But please remember to report any bugs through the in-game reporting system as well.)

Thanks for camera fix. I can run through serbule swinging camera around and I keep running in the proper direction! great fix :)

[Niph]

If I activate SphereCull on my system, no advanced option turned on (or at least they don't change the result), at all qualities from Poor to Ultra, I don't see water in Serbule. I see some water effect once I'm underwater, but not above.

[INXS]

Niph is right, I turned spherecull on and both in Serb and Elt I don't see the water color, it's there I can swim but looks like I'm floating.

[Mbaums]

Same for Eltibule. The issue is a sometimes thing though. I have not figured out if it's a sometimes thing when I approach water at high speeds, or what.

Thank you for letting us know about the water problems! If you don't mind, could you folks who are not seeing water in Serbule and Eltibule test that the water on Anagoge (the newbie island) is visible to you?

[Niph]

In Anagoge I see water normally, with and without SphereCull. In Serbule, I see water only if I stand in front of Jurl the Boatman and face east (180°, from north to south).

Thank you, Niph - that is excellent information.

We pushed out a small update today that should fix some bugs with the water and SphereCull.

Linux version problem after update, it corrupts GorgonConfig.txt as nothing shows up when logged in no chat window no spell bars nothing, but if i delete GorgonConfig.txt it works
however all customs settings are now lost :(

Would love to know why this happend, have you changed content of GorgonConfig.txt in anyway?

ztealmax - that's very weird. There haven't been any changes to the config file system.

We do have some code in there for the upcoming Demo version, and if that went wrong, it could explain why your chat channels were messed up, maybe. (The demo only has access to a few channels.) But it doesn't explain any other changes.

Did anyone else using the linux version have problems? It sounds, off-hand, like a permission problem, as if the game didn't have permission to read the file for some reason.

Using linux, no issues whatsoever here.

I have both configs "the one that didnt work after update and the new one created when deleting the old one"

i could try and see whats different between the two configs to see if something is in the old that looks weird.

You want me to upload both configs or mail them?
