🧪 64-Bit Client Now in Release Candidate – Testers Wanted! ⚙️

The 64-bit client is now available in the launcher's RC (Release Candidate) tab, and we'd love your help putting it through its paces before it goes live for everyone.

🖥️ What's new

• 64-bit engine. A full 64-bit build of the client. It should be rock solid, and it brings fixes along with it, including handle leaks that have been around since the dawn of The Realm.

• NativeSkins dialogs. Every ActiveSkins dialog has been replaced with a new native dialog system built on the new RmlUI framework. You shouldn't be able to tell the difference: it should look and work exactly like before, just a little cleaner under the hood. This also clears the way to retire the old ActiveSkins completely and, down the road, to resize and stretch these windows.

🔧 How to test

1. Open the launcher, switch to the RC (Release Candidate) tab, and log in from there.

2. In Client Options → Beta / Experimental, make sure New Dialog UI is turned OFF for this test.

3. GPU Composite Rendering (OpenGL) is optional. Use it if you like.

4. Play normally and open every window you can: inventory, shops, spellbooks, trainers, quests, character sheets, the lot.

🐛 What we're looking for

• Any dialog that looks or behaves differently from the live client

• Windows that fail to open, close, or respond

• Crashes, freezes, or anything odd in the 64-bit engine

Report what you find in #bug-report, with a screenshot if you can.

⚔️ Thanks for testing and happy hunting! ⚔️

🍂 Fall Update – Seasonal Changes & More! ✨

A new patch is here, bringing seasonal changes, loot balance adjustments, and a few fixes along the way. But that's not all we've been working on behind the scenes!

🍁 Seasonal Updates 🎃

• Summer Festival items have been removed as we transition into the fall and holiday season.

• Upcoming seasonal and holiday items have been added in preparation for the festivities!

• The Peddler has updated their inventory with some seasonally appropriate items and has been frightened into offering all their entire collection of dyes for a limited time! Grab some quick! 💨

💎 Loot Balance & Fixes ⚒️

• Loot balance adjustments for Crystal Mountains. Things should be less painful to find here now.

• Additional loot table corrections and balances in various other places.

  • Northen Steppes

  • Fulorans Abode

  • Imp City

  • Trolls Haven

  • Wen Clothing Cellar

• The long-overdue Fatty's Leg Quest loot correction is finally here! Fatty is a bit self conscious of his new, easier to detach, leg. Therefore he will appear less but the leg will drop more.

🚧 Behind the Scenes 🚧

While things may have seemed a little quiet lately, there's been a LOT happening behind the scenes!

• New Development Tools: A new set of content development tools is nearly ready to go! These improvements will help streamline content creation and make it easier to bring new adventures and updates to The Realm.

• Server Upgrades: Our new server is built and has undergone extensive testing! With just a few final checks remaining, we're getting closer to scheduling the migration. This upgrade will bring improved stability, support for future backend features, and clear the way for our **new website**, which is expected to follow shortly after the migration!

There's plenty more in the works, and we're excited about what's ahead for The Realm!

⚔️ Stay tuned, and happy hunting! ⚔️

🎨 Dye drop rates restored! 🎨

Following the pending server restart, the drop rates for the new dyes will be restored to their previous levels.

The rates were originally lowered with the intention of releasing additional dye sets shortly afterward, but those releases have been delayed. Rather than leave the reduced rates in place, we’re restoring them until more dyes are ready to be added.

There may be further adjustments as new dye sets are released, but we’re still working to find the right balance, the sweet spot between keeping dyes exciting to find without making them feel unnecessarily difficult to obtain.

Thanks for your patience, and happy hunting! ⚔️
