    Client 0.1.6 hotfix resolves arrow-key movement sticking after attacked-creature death.

    Bug fixes

    • Client 0.1.6 fixes arrow-key movement becoming stuck after an attacked creature dies by retaining and replaying one pending manual direction after chase/walk synchronization.

    Bug fixes

    2026-09-09 - Live

    2026-09-09 - Live

    Authenticated Account Hall management and security hardening update.

    Features

    • Added authenticated account password changes with current-password verification and 8-64 character confirmation checks.

    Bug fixes

    • Character deletion now uses soft-delete flow with exact-name confirmation and strict ownership/offline checks.
    • Portal account-management APIs now enforce same-origin and JSON-content requirements with explicit rate limits and no-store responses.

    2026-09-09 - Live

    First Tibia 7.6 behavior parity pass plus account-login repair.

    Bug fixes

    • Spell learning now correctly requires NPC interaction before spells can be learned.

    • Level-8 PvP protection rules are now enforced correctly.
    • Rope and fluid interaction behavior now matches expected classic game rules.
    • Website authentication now accepts legitimate elevated account types (for example, accounts that own a GM character) while retaining SHA1 password verification.

    Client notes

    • No client binary change in this release.
  6. Version 0.1.4

    2026-09-09 - Live

    Windows bootstrap path hotfix.

    Bug fixes

    • hertmire-version.lua now loads through the OTClient virtual resource root so Windows physical C:/ paths are not rejected as illegal/insecure and init.lua can start.

    Client notes

    • Windows x64 0.1.4 introduces a guided per-user installer that walks DAT/SPR import, adds Start Menu shortcuts with an optional Desktop shortcut, and includes an uninstaller.
    • The Windows installer and runtime now include local verification steps before launch.

    2026-09-08 - Live

    Windows startup/runtime hotfix.

    Bug fixes

    • MinGW GCC, C++ and pthread runtimes are now statically linked so the client no longer fails for missing libstdc++-6.dll, libgcc_s_seh-1.dll, or libwinpthread-1.dll.

    Client notes

    • Windows x64 0.1.3 supersedes 0.1.2.
