Newstyle RO: Patch Notes

[ Client ]

Sampling and rendering of the login video have been optimized and improved, reducing load and increasing stability.
Fixed some issues that occurred when launching the client on Linux (Wine).
Added support for using dgVoodoo. Using dgVoodoo can be helpful in the following cases:
(1) The client crashes on startup or during gameplay with errors referencing `igd9trinity32.dll` (Intel DirectX 9 graphics driver).
(2) Crashes occur only on Intel graphics cards, while the client runs stably on other GPUs.
(3) Graphic artifacts are observed: texture distortions, flickering, black or white areas on the screen.
(4) The client is unstable in DirectX 7/9 mode on integrated Intel graphics, even with up-to-date drivers.
Full instructions and packages are located in the folder: /Support/graphics/.

[ Memory Bonfire ]

Fixed bonfire bonuses that had incorrect cast time and after-skill delay values.

[ Equipment Properties ]

Equipment properties (random options) have been introduced.
The number of possible equipment options is determined by the equipment grade.
The equipment grade is determined using special items Property Identifier, Magic Property Identifier - they are available from the NPC Tool Dealer [prt_hq,101,184].
Depending on the determined grade, equipment can have from 1 to 3 options: Grade I - 1 option, Grade II - 2 options, Grade III - 3 options.
The determined grade is final and cannot be reverted or rerolled.
In future updates, rerolling options within a grade will become available.
More details are available in the wiki article. WIKIWiki: Grades & Options↗

[ Beginning of the Adventure ]

Completing training quests now grants less experience (depends on the character’s current level at the time the quest is turned in).
Completing the training now grants one free first class change from the Job Master - the offer applies per account and only for first classes.

[ Guilds ]

The amount of EXP required to increase guild level has been changed; the experience table is published on the wiki. WIKIWiki: Guild Leveling↗
