Wanderers!
It’s time for us to proudly present to you our Frozen Flame’s brand new update! This update is dedicated to improving the current state of the game, implementing some quality of life changes, fixing many known issues and improving the overall game experience. All of that is done to prepare the game for next patches and many wonderful content updates they will bring!
Main changes
Blend with your surroundings
No, we are not talking about a stealth suit or an invisibility potion (yet). But now, if you want to avoid other players’ unwanted attention, you can use crouching to hide your name from them and become a little bit less visible than before.
“So, what’s wrong with Tremula?”
Since the last update, we’ve been receiving plentiful bug reports regarding the quest line related to Tremula, appearing in many different instances, but all resulting in the whole quest being broken. We found and fixed those bugs, so now you can finally complete every task without any problems.
Server
Players who have private servers are advised to wipe before starting the game.Open Basic ettings / Delete all savegames.
“Do I hold it right side up?”
There are a couple of changes dedicated to the map. Firstly, you can now rotate the camera around your character while looking at the map by holding the Right Mouse Button. Secondly, the map got a much needed update, and now correctly represents the current state of terrain.
