• Hotfix to v1.106 - 30 August 2023

Mini-FAQ: What are the changes included in this hotfix version? The changes done are as follows: Changing a character's saved password to another in login screen should now update and save properly Your command history is now limited 10k lines due to size issues with CommandHistory.xml savefile Why was this hotfix needed / implemented? Hey, thank you for asking! We found out that there was an issue with the new v1.106 feature that allow players to quit & restart the game client and still retain their last issued commands (and conveniently access them, e.g. by arrow-up or searching otherwise). The player issued commands are stored locally in the \batc…

• Update: Steam Cloud for BatMUD now allows 93 GB of storage space per user - 23 November 2022

  We have extended the Steam Cloud storage from previous 943.45 MB to 93.12 GB for every BatMUD Steam game client player. Steam Cloud is best utilized for saving your game configuration/setup (and such as scripts & triggers) in the Cloud in addition to your local computer/desktop. Its most prominent feature for BatMUD is the ability to use the same configurations and look-and-feel on all of the machines you are playing BatMUD on. We are also painfully aware of some users facing Steam Cloud issues otherwise where our game client is unable to start (in some certain scenarios). These obviously affect our game's rating very negatively (refunds are available). We have published a solution on the Steam community forum for BatMUD, which is available behind the following link: https://steamcommunity.com/app/616920/discussions/0/3496509339514297446/ Please report to [email protected] in case you are…

• New playable race: The Harpy (and release of game client v1.103) - 17 October 2021

  The lands around Shadowkeep are thriving, our villages growing into towns and towns into cities. Timber is in high demand, and although woodcutting trade is an arduous way to make a living, the profits are lucrative enough to attract plenty of work force. This was to be yet another woodcutting enterprise to bring in much-needed fuel for the growth of the land, and so our caravan of woodcutters made the journey to the untouched woods and set a camp in an old aspen forest. Little did we know that sharp eyes were watching our every move from above. The woodcutting operation progressed, and we ventured ever deeper into the forest. Alas, we went too far. When the attack came, it was swift and brutal. Many lost their lives. Us survivors are setting up defences in a destitute attempt to hold back the inevitable. But while we may soon be dead, we'll take as many of the fiends with us as we can!…
