Stationary lights are affected by the day/night cycle of the skylight. The only reliable lighting is movable lights (e.g. torches, campfires). I tested this throughout Hydlaa: the Arena, Kada El tavern, and Red Crystal Den (guildsimple). At night, the maps will become very dark, making the game unplayable without a torch.

All stationary lights I have so far come across are affected, including the sconce lights on either side of the Kada El tavern doors, which brighten intensely during the daytime. Some parts of the Arena are pitch black. Inside a guildsimple map, day time causes stationary lights to brighten the area as if it is an exterior.

Changing shadow options reveals more (tested in Arena):

- Shadows set to low allows skylight and fog lighting into interiors. (This makes the game somewhat playable at night.)

- Shadows set to medium allows fog lighting into interiors. Interiors barely navigable at night without torch.

- Shadows set to high or epic makes some interiors too dark regardless of day/night cycle, but at night they become so dark they are not navigable without a torch.

Additional info:

Day/light cycle change appears to sometimes be triggered by moving between interior and exterior locations.

Not sure if it is volumetric fog indirect lighting or atmospheric fog lighting that I’m seeing within interiors.

You can select yourself in combat mode if camera collides with wall or moves rapidly. This prevents you from attacking.

Steps to easily reproduce:

1) Place yourself between collidable wall and enemy

2) Enter combat mode

3) Click to attack. Keep attacking and moving around enemy with back to wall until you select yourself.

4): Receive message: “>You cannot attack yourself.”

Additional note:
Due to player collision box combined with over-the-shoulder camera, you can accidentally select yourself without hovering reticle over your player model.

Interact key (E) deselects target (NPCs and items) but will work as expected if target is reselected.

Interacting with NPCs sometimes retargets and interacts with a previously selected NPC next to targeted NPC.

Using the “/challenge” command while targeting an NPC (enemies, creatures, pets, guards, etc.) causes the server to immediately crash.

Equipped hand claws are rotated such that the blades are inside player character’s arms.

If a window has a limited size and cursor extends beyond maximum size, the cursor is not released and resizing continues. Player no longer pressing mouse button does not stop resizing. The cursor can only be released by clicking the resize symbol.

If the player is stuck resizing window and clicks on part of the window allowing it to be repositioned, the window will be stuck to the player’s cursor. (Found on ‘pets’ and ‘activemagic’ window.)

Steps for ‘pets’ window bug:
- Click & drag resize button (as if resizing)
- Move cursor past maximum window size
- Stop pressing mouse button
- Check that window is still being resized by moving cursor
- Click & drag on window (not resize button) around border or “Current Experience:” - Check that window is stuck to cursor by moving it

A player would have to maneuver the window such that they can click the window resize button again; however, it takes about 3-4 clicks to stop the repositioning and resizing of the window.

A player might not be able to exit the game if stuck in this bug because the window can cover the options bar.

Description UI shows edit symbol on other characters’ descriptions and allows them to be edited in the UI. “Description”, “Out of Character Notes”, and “Character Background” can be edited. They are saved to the editing player character’s description. The target’s description is unchanged.

Steps:
- ‘Look’ at other player character or NPC
- Edit the description
- Click ‘Save’ - Your description should now show as the other character’s description

From launcher, changing graphical settings to a much lower resolution (eg, 640×480 or 320×240) windowed, playing, then reverting to fullscreen (non-windowed) resolution of 1920×1080 resulted in non-GUI actions only being recognized in an area bound within the previous resolution. Meaning mouselook and selecting targets only work in the top left corner of the screen, the size of that area being determined by the previous smaller resolution.

Upon starting the game, all GUI is bound inside of the height and width of the smaller resolution, but can be moved outside of this area. The game is still unplayable.

The issue is that planeshift.cfg (in Appdata\Roaming\Planeshift) did not update properly with the chosen settings. Quick fix is to delete planeshift.cfg and play the game, which resets settings to default.

This is in version 0.6.5.
