Περίληψη
- Affiliate programme — players who bring paying players now earn a share of what those players spend on Zens: Affiliate 10% in Zens, Premium 5% Zens plus 5% cash at 10 paying players a quarter, Partner 10% cash in quarterly bands, with referral links, a player tab and payouts
- Login and character select fixes — the login screen keeps its backdrop and translates the maintenance card when you switch language, and character select now compacts its left column at build time so a 1366x768 screen no longer pushes Back to sign in off the bottom
- Client update — client build 2026.11.06.141 is live; players need to patch, and no maintenance window was required
Διεπαφή
- Affiliate account tab — the Affiliates tab shows your referral link, the players it brought, commissions earned and payout history; attribution happens once at sign-up through a /r/ code link, counts use proper plural forms in every locale, and payouts are described as on day 15 of each month
- Home page — Home is now a single page: a hero with Play free and Discover Zaos for guests, a welcome with Download and Account when signed in, patch notes showing the newest release as a sheet plus the upcoming and 4 earlier ones, the latest 3 news articles, and the live events board
- Captcha-gated forms and sending state — forms with a captcha keep their submit unavailable until it is solved; pressing anyway scrolls to the captcha, highlights it and says you need to complete the captcha to continue, in 9 locales. Every request-sending button on the site, account, shop, support and staff dashboard shows a spinner in place and ignores further presses
- Beta landing page — the landing page now always shows the closed-beta start in UTC instead of the visitor's own time zone, and switches from the pre-beta countdown with invites to the live beta version with registrations closed and a launch waitlist at 18:00 UTC
- Presentation page — the Presentation gained a seals module showing 10 seals and 4 skins in four groups with a preview pane that plays the hovered companion's in-game clip, the official trailer right under the hero, looping Read the ground and Take to the sky clips, a built Holdfast guild island with its Works page, and a Nevaeh capital pin
- Mobile platforms marked coming soon — on the Landing and Presentation pages the Android and iOS buttons show Coming soon as a second line with a dashed edge and a dimmer icon, in all 9 locales; Windows, macOS and Linux are unchanged
- Site toasts — site notifications now appear top-right, 14 px below the fixed header and aligned with the Play button at every width, instead of bottom-centre over the page content; the shop embed keeps its bottom-centre toast
- Account email and sign-up flow — registration moved into the gate frame with a Check your inbox page, an expired or already-used confirmation link now says so in 9 locales, and the change-email form no longer stretches past its panel with a long button label, stacking its buttons on phones
Απόδοση
- Effect duplication on monsters and NPCs — NPCs and monsters whose model carries an effect attached it twice on spawn and once more on every re-armour, so the ice pillar NPC 9115 drew its effect twice at 392 particle quads a frame; each model now keeps a single live copy. 87 monster and NPC models carry such effects
Γλώσσα
- Real 404 pages in your language — a missing article, CMS page or changelog version now answers a real 404 instead of silently redirecting; the error page takes its language from the URL even when no route matched, shows the translated message instead of an English route error, and links Home in that language plus the Discord invite
- Throttled form messages — when a website form post is throttled the localized 429 message is shown, and the sent panel's column no longer shifts
Διορθώσεις
- Login backdrop after a language switch — changing the language on the login screen destroyed the backdrop image, leaving the screen black until the window was resized; the backdrop now survives a language switch
- Maintenance card language — the maintenance card on the login screen kept the title and buttons of whichever language loaded first; it now re-reads its text when you switch language
- Character select at 1366x768 — on a 1366x768 screen the character select left column overflowed because its compaction ladder only ran on a resize; it now runs when the screen is built and again after the roster is set, keeping Back to sign in reachable
- Dances cut short for other players — on every observer, a dancing player's movement report ended the emotion roughly 0.8 s in while the dancer saw it play out in full; the snap no longer stops a playing emotion, while a walk, an attack, a hit and emotion stop still do
- Walking into buildings — a placed building's collision range was built from its first model part only, so a building whose first part is its roof never blocked a walker at its foot and characters walked around 200 units into the city gate wall; the range now spans all parts. 34 of 4934 shape-carrying placements across the 27 Phase-1 maps were affected
- Dark pine needles in the magic forest — a tree species with no self-shadow map reused the previous species' shadow map, so Nevaeh's magic-forest pine drew its needles at roughly 0.45x brightness; the shadow stage is now cleared for species that have none
- Crash reports under Wine — under Wine on macOS and Linux the crash reporter could not find its library and died on every start, so no crash report was ever sent; the library folder is now passed to child processes and the reporter starts
- Water reflection default on High — the client's first-run graphics defaults only enabled water reflection on Ultra; it is now on from the High tier, matching the engine's own defaults
- Companion age wording — the seal tooltip and the Companions board printed the age with a fixed plural, so a one-day-old seal read Age 1 Days or Alter 1 Tage; both now use proper plural forms in all 9 locales: en day/days, de Tag/Tage, es día/días, fr jour/jours, it giorno/giorni, pl dzień/dni, pt dia/dias, ro zi/zile, tr gün
- Incubator seal glow off-centre — the glow behind a revealed seal in the incubator was scaled twice and centred on the wrong box, placing it 24 px right and 20 px below the seal; it now sits centred
- Wrong Vulkan warning on Mac — when Direct3D failed to start under Wine, the launcher always blamed a missing Vulkan driver on Linux, even on a Mac; a macOS host now reads that Zaos could not start its Direct3D 11 graphics on this Mac and to update macOS, while Linux keeps the Vulkan text
Τι σημαίνει αυτό για σένα
- Client update — a new client build, 2026.11.06.141, shipped with this release; players need to patch
