For our fourth patch, we focused on fixing a variety of crashes to ensure the game is a more stable experience for as many people as possible. We also continued our optimization efforts by lowering texture sizes and overall performance load. In addition to bug fixes, we’ve added one new race and an accessibility feature that allows players to toggle on and off the sprint effect.
New Race Track - Forest Weave: This challenging race takes you up a winding path through the forest full of tricky turns and jumps. The starting board is located right outside the Rose Manor!
Sprint Motion Blur Toggle On/Off: The Sprint Effect can cause discomfort and nausea for some users. This can now be turned off from the Options menu under Gameplay Settings.
More Racing Sign Posts: To make race navigation easier, we’ve added more additional sign posts to all races.
Improved Error Handling: Our error messages when encountering login issues are now more descriptive and helpful for investigating bugs and issues.
Graphical Polish: We’ve continued to improve our graphics by fixing a large variety of issues; examples of the most commonly reported issues we’ve fixed include…
- Your horse’s tail no longer stretches out during the “Warm Welcome” cutscene.
- Markings on the bay horses now appear white as intended.
- A variety of sign textures have been replaced, fixing issues where they were stretched out or displayed temporary art.
- Player hair colors have been corrected to display correctly.
- Champagne horses no longer have a visible tail bone nub. (🚫 🦴 )
- Player horse colors and markings will now appear correctly in cinematics.
- The chat window’s scroll bar no longer lingers.
Player hair color and Bay markings have been fixed.
Player Profiles Now Display the Correct Data: Incorrect player data (e.g names, levels) used to appear in player profiles; this data is now displayed correctly.
Weekly Goals Rewards Award Properly: Completing Weekly Goals now gives players the Completion Reward as intended.
Ride Island Invisible Walls Removed: Nav mesh on the Ride Island has been tweaked; invisible walls that prevented player movement have been removed.
Inverse Kinematics Added to Player: To improve the sense of character groundedness, we have added IK to player.
Compediums Show Correct Reputation Level for Factions: Previously Faction levels displayed as one higher; this has been resolved and the correct Reputation Level can be seen in your Compendium.
Horse Equipment Now Changes Stats Correctly: When equipping and swapping gear, your horse’s stats change accordingly. This UI was not updating correctly; changing equipment now updates the inventory UI stats correctly.
Weekly Tasks Reset Mondays at 2am UTC: We updated when Weekly Tasks reset! Moving forward, tasks will reset every Monday at 2am UTC. The next reset will be
Monday, June 2, 2025 at 2am UTC.
This is not an exhaustive list. Rather, this is a list of known issues players often ask us about…
- Users cannot ‘Speak with Emily’ to complete the ‘Flower Basket’ quest. We’ve spent a lot of time investigating and developing a fix, but weren’t able to address the issue. We are still working on a fix!
- Switching to lower settings, especially from Epic or High, causes objects to load in much slower for a five minute period of time. We recommend waiting to see if the issue resolves itself; after five minutes, most users have objects load in faster as intended.
- The player barn icon disappears from your map until you’ve entered it for the second time.
- Player feet may now occasionally look uncomfortable when in specific situations (e.g standing with one foot elevated on a rock)
- Light brightness doesn’t display correctly at times when you are in the middle of dialogue or while riding around in the world.
- Players cannot select voice over options, causing all players to have a default actor that sounds more femme.
- Player-placed map markers are clingy and cannot be removed, only relocated.
- Areas occasionally suffer from moderate deforestation with missing foliage and trees.
- Other player’s horses eat quite loudly, especially while in town or the player barn. (How rude!)
- A specific tree type has a broken texture.
- Occasionally, when completing a race, your final time does not appear in the completion screen. This can be resolved by exiting the race and starting again from the race board.
