The all new ArcaneTale Alpha version 1.8 is finally out! It includes ALOT of new bug fixes, all new day & night (goes by what ever time it is in your current time zone), nearly ALL LAG Problems Patched, a cleaner interface, DirectX Disabled to speed the game up, MIS shut off for smoother gameplay, & some minor extra's in graphics.
So go check it out, this is 1 big update! You can see screenshots at the download page: http://www.create-games.com/download.asp?id=4951
(Remember though! Because DirectX is now disabled, if the game crashes on you, the res. WILL get stuck! So until this is fixed, please be careful with crashing! Crashing is very rare ingame, & only occurs on the titlescreen when the name you typed in does NOT exist, so 1 way of avoiding crashing is to make sure that your name is typed in perfectly or that you have a name!)
A new patch for ArcaneTale has been made, now this patch is NOT required! All it does is basicly fixes the day & night cycle so that it runs smoother, other then that, the original game will still let you in. So if you are not interested in getting this new patch, you dont need too, but this is a small example of how patches from now on will be. Once you download the original file, you can patch it with files less then 1/4 of the full size. So patching the game wont be a problem anymore.
Did you create a new player name? I forgot that I took it out of the news the last update, the FTP server was shifted over to a new host & most all the save games were lost, but because for now, all they are, are passes to get into the game, no save game data is or will be stored on them yet, all you need to do it create a new player name.
Hope this works for you, if you have any other problems, just e-mail me at: Support@ArcaneTale.tk or AIM me at CassataGames
