Well met friends! A new release is ready for you to download.

This release can be updated through the PSLauncher, but if you want, you can also downloaded it from our Download page.

Here is the list of changes for 0.7.39:

Some merchants are now faction aligned. They will give you better or worst prices when buying based on your faction alignment with them. You can see this information at the bottom of the merchant window and trading with them
Added overall discounts for factions and possibility to have certain items you can buy only if you have a certain faction reputation. The idea is to have certain high quality items sold by merchants only if they like you
Merchants can completely refuse to trade if the faction reputation is too negative

We added magical trails following the weapon swing. The trails are divided in tiers based on the rarity of the enhancement. If the weapon has more than one enchantment, the most rare one will define the trail type.

Improvements to combat:
- Added 2 more animations for melee attacks
- Added the left hand animations for melee attacks, you can now finally see the proper animation when attacking with the second hand
- Added the ability to use your shield as a defense. Put it in your left hand, then in combat mode you can right mouse click and use the shield.
- Changed all shields to be equip-able only in the left hand

Added new capabilities to prevent access to containers based on a certain condition, example a certain faction reputation. This allows for example to have a chest or a bookshelf inside a faction hall, that will be accessible only with a certain reputation score.
Fixed a bug in assigning faction points through quests

Fixed casting of offensive spells through shortcuts
Fixed bad bug of items disappearing in containers when trading exchanging over capacity
Fixed the train stat window, to show all the stats available, clicking on train will now give proper messages based on your rank or faction scores

Hi, I updated the page now! Thanks for the notice.

Hi,
I would like to know if there are any Legacy players who can't play PSUnreal due to old hardware. In this case can you let me know your character name, the hardware you have and what kind of error/problem you see in PSUnreal. Posting the log file of PSUnreal in https://pastebin.com/ and linking here the URL will be good.

If you want to know where PSUnreal.log is located, check this page: https://planeshift.top-ix.org/pswiki/index.php/PSUnreal_Client_logs_and_configs

Greetings, we have just released a new version of PlaneShift! This release is a transition release, with the sole objective to bring the game to Unreal engine 5. There are no PlaneShift specific new features or changes as part of this release.

Nonetheless it is a very important release for us, as it will enable new elements to be added in the future with more ease and using latest technology. We upgraded the whole game to Unreal Engine 5.1.1. Has not been an easy switch, because even if Epic advertises this as a seamless migration, it required some troubleshooting and inventive, also we had to learn some new elements.
The first thing we tested when moving to Unreal engine 5 was World Partition, which is the new way of managing large open worlds. We converted all our levels to it, but immediately encountered issues. In particular World Partition doesn't support Static Lights at the moment, which is a way for us to keep the hardware requirements low. Second it corrupted some of the levels, and the landscape had to be repainted/fixed, third it seems not possible at the moment to have non World Partition levels loaded in shipping release together with World Partition levels. This means our game start level where you login was not packaged properly and was not working. These issues let us decide to avoid World Partition from now, until it's more stable/compatible. We will definitely check it again in the future.

We restarted the migration, this time with World Composition, the same we used in UE4, and things went better. Then we had to re-patch the engine with our specific changes, and fix again some of the known issues, such as the XML parser, the tool-chain on Mac and the Mac mouse cursor. After that part was working, we had to test the final packaging on Windows, Linux, Mac. This is were we hit another big problem on Mac, as the compiler coudn't for some reason properly compile for Intel chips. Our Mac release is done for Intel chips, so that both Intel and M1 hardware can run it. After a lot of trial and error, we discovered a bug in the base engine, and found a workaround, so all was finally solved!
Given the amount of features present in PlaneShift, will be important if you could test it well, so we can find any issue before the next release.

Known issues

• There is a significant known problem with lights, as the convertion between UE4 and UE5 broke many lights, and it seems to behave differently between different platforms. Example the Laanx temple is very dark on Windows, but it's extra-lit on Linux and Mac. We already did some investigation on this, but it requires more work to find a good and stable fix. We decided to release anyway to avoid further delays and allow everyone to test the new release giving feedback.
• Even if we did a number of tests with medium hardware on all platforms and the FPS were pretty much identical, it seems UE5 raised the bar a bit on the hardware, and some low end PC may have trouble running it. Please test the game on different hardware and let us know in the linked forum post above the results.

New PlaneShift features
None. I'm mentioning this again to be clear, this was a technology only release.

What benefits we get from Unreal Engine 5

• All plugins are available in the upgraded UE5 version, including the one we use for character movement, and the voice chat. Upgrading will require some work, but will bring benefits. This is something we will work on soon.
• Metasounds is a complete new system for audio, and we want to use it for musical instruments. The ground work is done already as we tested it in UE5 some months ago. This will enable musical instruments in game again!
• There is a new Water system that could improve lakes and rivers. We didn't test it much yet, so has to be discovered to see how stable, performant and usable it is.
• New particle system Niagara. Improved, more flexible and provides better results, we could covert all our visual effects (spell effects mostly) to the new system.

Hello PlaneShifters, it happened!! It really happened! After four years, the switch from Legacy to Unreal is here!

This is very historical moment for everyone who worked on this project. PSLegacy is now fully replaced by PSUnreal in it's new 0.7.30 version. This means your character has been ported to the new release and you can continue his progression from there. PSLegacy will still be up for some time (weeks, not months) to be used as a comparison in case we need it. This release cannot be updated from previous releases, please download it again from our Download page.
