Known Issues - March 13th, 2025
Market
- Sorting by Durability in a Market Stall will display non-durable items alongside durable ones. This does not occur with Heartland Markets.
- The Market Stall waypoint can only be removed by logging out of the game.
- Canceling or buying an order breaks the sorting option in the Market Stall for all the players looking at the given Market Stall. You must either close the Market window and reopen it or change the sorting option to a different one and back.
- The Market list does not show the Tier tips on the icons. You must select an order to show the item's Tier.
- In Heartland Markets, when filtering orders, the text "Filters active, showing X of Y orders" always displays the number of orders on the current page for both X and Y instead of showing the number of filtered orders and the total number of orders.
- Sticky Selection: The player can use key binds on the last selected item in the market stall even after reopening it
- After canceling a sale, the [E] key on the keyboard can become unresponsive in Market Stall and storage interfaces.
- When opening the Market UI from the Main Menu when outside a Heartland where there are no market orders to browse, (for example in the Wilds or in Dungeons) the UI instructs you to select an item in the inventory and click the [Create Sale] button to create a sale order even if its not possible and can only be done at a Market Stall.
- Sort by name is currently (and temporarily) not available in market stalls.
- When browsing market orders remotely (by using Markets from the Main Menu), sorting by name or using text search is temporarily not available. In the meantime you can use all other sorting and filtering options to narrow down your search.
Chat / Voice chat
- In most situations, the chat doesn't open after pressing "Enter" when the Building menu is already open.
- When a player is in both a Clan and a Party, if they join one of the Voice Chat channels (Party or Clan) and then click "Join other Voice Chat" to switch to the other Voice Chat channel but cancel or dismiss the confirmation box, the "Join other Voice Chat" option will become greyed out and unusable. This issue can be resolved by leaving the party and rejoining it.
- Leaving any Voice Chat channel after canceling the "Join other Voice Chat" action with the ESC key will move the player to the canceled channel. This does not occur when clicking the Cancel button instead of using the ESC key.
- The "Push to talk" setting is only accessible from the Voice Chat settings, while it should also be in the general settings menu. The same issue applies to the volume settings of the voice chat.
- If a window is opened before the Chat window, it does not accept keybind inputs.
- F5 doesn't hide the Chat bubble above your character.
Miscellaneous
- Characters lobby: the Discord hyperlink in the Maintenance message is broken, leading to a ‘no text channel.’
- Demonic trees have the [E] Felling option but should not, as they are not choppable.
- Emotes are not functional while the Construction Hammer is equipped.
- Furnishings and Crafters can be placed in the air.
- Integrity Issue: Construction elements can extend infinitely over water without proper support. This can lead to building destruction when it is fixed.
- Some Gates to other provinces are not displayed on the Compass.
