Patch Notes 2026-08-27

Is this server side patch update or do I need to download the latest client again?

Do hope can include need to update the game client or not in future patch thread. Thanks.

Great idea, added it to the website to be easier to see.

I notice the official website have started to listed current client version. I do hope it do the same on the client login screen too. The current client still show date May 1 2026.

Fantastic idea, going into the next patch 5 upgrade.

Also will be useful when we potentially do client checking on login in the future which should help players diagnose client/launcher issues much easier.

I did think it was wild the first time I tried to connect with an outdated client and it actually *worked.*

After the game update on August 29, 2026, I stopped being able to connect to the server; it says "establishing connection" and then immediately disconnects. Nothing helps, even though I was able to connect fine before the update.

Read the messages in the Announcement section of the forum. There have been changes such as needing to reinstall the launcher and change your realmlist to “play.octowow.st”
