You can discuss the changes in the feature feedback thread here Valrei Invasions The Valrei invasion event finished up this week with a lot of fun had by all. Certainly the most violent events we've had in a long time, with one racking up over 8 kills! Go me.

In the meantime, tell us what you thought about it! Wurm launcher changes With the coming changes to JNLP ending support we will be shifting to an exe launcher.

Posted June 6, 2019 (edited) First! Not so first after all. Looking forward to the anniversary hunt! P.S. @Retrograde, make sure to double check you have all your tent poles... Sucks to put a tent up and notice there's a broken one (Or one is completely missing)... Edited June 6, 2019 by Allenkey Not first to post 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Really looking forward to getting those things that being stuck with an old compatibility OpenGL version has meant we have not had on Mac. It will be really nice not to get rained on indoors, to read those signs, and (hopefully) all the advances that the modern renderer brings with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 6, 2019 (edited) Great Fang statuette! I really hope the events will not be the same days I'll have my own wilderness visit at the end of month... Hard to treasure hunt from a canoe. Also enjoy your time without the silver line to virtuality! Edited June 6, 2019 by Jaz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 6, 2019 Looks like good news about the .exe launcher - this should make loading and running the game more straightforward for new players, new machines and returners. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 6, 2019 Just remember to mine and smelt a few lumps of iron before you go, because you know you'll need some random nails or something. And don't forget to put all your tools back in your backpack before you leave your house! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 6, 2019 Of course, there'll be a Linux build as well - at the start we'll have both the native launcher and the jnlp still, to work out any issues with the first one. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So lots to look forward to there! pretty please does this mean we are going to have an actual launcher app with an updating function that doesnt always require a close out and that can launch the game without closing the launcher app itself plssssss tell me you're going the extra step much like newer games have these days, you have the launcher app that will launch the client, and doesn't close the launcher app Edited June 8, 2019 by platinumteef Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This will allow us later on to change the launcher to what you've described, that's still the goal, but it's not something we're currently working on. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
