Update 43.1 Release Notes

The Lord of the Rings Online™ - Cordovan

Update 43.1 Release Notes

Here are the Release Notes for Update 43.1: Secrets of Utug-bûr, Patch 1 released on Thursday, March 13, 2025.

News and Notes:

We have reinstated the original Deed Log while we work to correct a crashing issue.
Doors in Thorin's Hall that were previously inaccessible now function again.
Several key particle effects, including overhead eyes and line warnings, will now render even if your 'Dynamic Particle Rendering' setting is set to 'None.'
Fixed animation issues for Elf female Lore-master sheathing.
Reduced stiffness for Elf and High Elf male run animation.
Fixed issues affecting female Elf, High Elf, and Race of Man instrument animations.
Some of the decoration in the "Temple of Utug-bûr" raid has been adjusted to reduce visual artifacts and other unintended issues.
Items
Will-breaker was incorrectly set to legendary quality and has been updated to incomparable quality.
Removed a 'DNT' from the Utug-bûr moonstone jewelry 2-set bonus tooltip.
Corrected some minor issues with Utug-bûr chest soft locks. Soft locks now have a chance to drop signets from the first boss in each wing.
Temple Hero's Spoils reward is now correctly bound to account rather than unbound.
Most default frontal attacks made by monsters now have a 120 degree arc rather than a 180 degree arc.
Classes
Champion: Fury of Blades' (dual wield) second hit damage was erroneously reduced by 5% in a recent patch. This fix corrects that error and the intended +5% change is now added to the pre-patch value.
Lore-master: the new skill to summon a Savannah Pride-keeper should now work correctly.
Mariner: the skills Riposte, Step Back, Feint, and Dodge now generate more aft-ward pips.
Minstrel: Legend of the Hammerhand bubbles once again heal allies correctly upon expiration. This is no longer a %-based heal.
High Elf female: Lowered the hairline on hairstyles 2, 3, 4 and 7.
The Well of Forgetting: Ordâkhai Sorcerers in the Well of Forgetting no longer attempt to use a shadow skill for which they do not have appropriate animations.
Temple of Utug-bûr
Temple of Utug-bûr Tier 2 will open at Noon Eastern on March 20th, and Tier 3 will open at Noon Eastern on March 27th. The Leading the Charge Deed for "Temple of Utug-bûr" is available to earn until 3:00 AM Eastern (-4 GMT) on May 21st, 2025.
Dhórgruth
Kulkorth will now use his key abilities more reliably.
Reworked reset during Maluchon encounter to make sure that it cleans up correctly if the group wipes during Breaking Bonds Channel
Thûr Hin
Fixed an issue preventing full reset on a raid wipe between Khablag being defeated and wounded Legolas climbing onto the altar.
Fixed an issue preventing Utûgi from entering the battle in the Kormoltur fight after a reset.
Rumók the Blood-spiller will now heal to full when respawning.
Inner Sanctum
Azagath's Poison Spike skill no longer incorrectly applies to the person who is the source of its spread.
Added visual effects to the festering poison effect to better explain that poison swelling within you is about to explode outward to allies.
Consume to Emptiness should now more efficiently and correctly consume blisters in all tiers.
There was a rare chance for Azagath to become stuck in drama in the first stage of his fight. This has been addressed.
There was an odd case where the reset for the final boss was breaking in an unexpected way. While this did not block the wing from being completed it did make things awkward. The reset now correctly sets the fight to the correct status post the defeat of the Aladi Sagush and Thahar.
There was an issue where the display for Summon Aspects was not appearing correctly on Azagath in the first stage of his fight. This has been addressed.
Legolas, despite being an amazing and masterful archer, cannot wield two bows.
Updated tooltips for Azagath's Shade's effects which unlock bonus skill attacks from Azagath Sea-shadow.
Updated the tooltip on the final tier of the Shred Hope effect to call out that movement is disabled.
Fixed a typo in a skill used by the Alad Thahar.
The skill effect Bound by Shadow from the Alad Sagush now correctly applies up to a 10% chance for your skills to consume Morale on use.
The skill effect Shred Hope from Gârash, the Emptiness now correctly applies up to a 100% chance for your skills to consume Morale on use.
FRENCH: The translation for "Chest of a Thardúth Lord" has been updated to "Coffre d'un seigneur Tharduth".
GERMAN: Updated translation of the "Abandon" button on Common housing to Verlassen instead of Abrechen.

Radiolight: Post-Next Fest FAQ!

Radiolight - ben

Hey everyone,

Before we tune our radios back to our regularly scheduled programming, I wanted to use this opportunity to clear up a few questions that came up during Next Fest! A lot of you have been curious about the demo & game and I figured it’d make sense to have all the answers in one place. So, here goes nothing:

How long will the demo be available?
Right now, the demo’s here to stay. That might still change, depending on how much the game will evolve as I keep working on it. But for now, you can enjoy the crisp night air of Ashwood Creek for as long as you want.

Will it be coming to consoles?
Development-wise, my full focus is on the PC release at the moment. If the launch goes well and there’s enough demand, I’d love to bring Radiolight to as many platforms as possible!

What languages will the game be available in?
We’re proud to announce that, due to popular demand, Radiolight will include Spanish localisation at launch! That means that the game will be available in 6 languages, with original audio in English, and full interface localisation and subtitles in Czech, French, German, Simplified Chinese & Spanish.

Will it have controller support?
Yes! I’ll work hard to have full controller support at launch for Xbox, PlayStation and other controllers.

So does that mean Steam Deck support at launch?!
While the demo is already playable on Steam Deck if you tweak your control scheme a little, I will do my utmost best to have Steam Deck Verification at launch! However, even if we don’t have the highly coveted badge, I’ll test it and report how it runs before launch.

What about the music? Is it DMCA-free?
Radiolight’s score is a mix of licensed music and original tracks by Matheo Ramone, a talented young composer who uses synthesizers to bring the 80s mystery vibe to life. So far, I’ve only run into copyright issues with a couple of ambient tracks, but I'll look into how to fix that!

How scary will the final game be?
Radiolight leans towards psychological horror, a thrilling experience with grim undertones, though there might be a few surprises. The goal is to create an unsettling atmosphere that sticks with you. So the answer is: just a little, but enough to feel fully immersed in the dark woods of Ashwood Creek.

What’s the current focus of development?
Right now, I'm focusing on the events of the full game, including writing dialog and building out the final areas of the game. I’ve been reading your feedback and I'm working on tightening the environments and detailing them with more objects to find, along with other tweaks and improvements. I'm sure this will help me bring you the best version of Radiolight!

That's it for now! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask them in the comments below.

Time for me to head back to Ashwood Creek,
Krystof
