Working on my life and death pickaxe grind, and when I got my 100/100 novite ore, instead of displaying in my chat box, I get a program window saying my pickaxe is attuned to the ore. Haven't seen this before
We've released a hotfix which has hopefully resolved this for you.
Is there any update on the external console window that opens when pressing Alt+~? It's been going on for over a month.
That's more in the engine realm, and engine builds release less frequently than weekly content updates. I believe our engineers hoped to get a fix into the engine mostly recently released this month, but it didn't quite make the cut, and subsequently are hoping to fix it in the next engine release.
Its pretty annoying that when you x close the console, your game also goes away, maybe a hotfix for this, could it just hide it momentarily?
The engine can't be hotfixed.
The engine has a feature that allows server-side RuneScript (that defines the logic for content) to be hotfixed (that is, modified without rebooting the servers), as long as we're modifying existing triggers and not creating new ones.
Since only server/lobby script can be hotfixed, game data (configs) and client script cannot be hotfixed.
As this extra window is an issue with the game engine, it has to be fixed in a game engine update, and those are typically monthly at most.
