Guild Wars Wiki notes

New page

==Update -- May 9, 2018==

===General===
* Increased the maximum number of active [[minipet]]s allowed in outposts.

===Graphics improvements===
* Added windowed Fullscreen support.
* Added a new 8X MSAA anti-aliasing option.
* The “Use best texture filtering” option will now take advantage of 16x Anisotropic filtering.
* A new “Advanced” option checkbox has been added to the Graphics options panel. This will replace the “-lodfull” command line option that was added recently.
** Model LODs will always use the highest available LOD (Level Of Detail), regardless of distance, including the disabling of “imposter” models.
** The max draw distance will be doubled. Ground cover vegetation draw distance will be pushed out even further.
** Terrain LODs will almost always draw in highest.
** ''Note:'' Full changes won’t take effect until changing maps.

===Chat===
* A new option has been added to suppress Whisper messages from players that don’t meet the following criteria:
** Party member, friend, active trade partner, or recent party/team member.
* You may now /report directly in the whisper chat window without needing to type the character name.
** Reporting players is still restricted to the same district that you’re in.
* Custom chat filters are now possible. To use this feature, you must create a ChatFilter.ini file. The file will be placed in the <code>%USERPROFILE%\My Documents\Guild Wars</code> folder. The file layout is as follows:
[ChatFilter]
userFilter1=Censor
userFilter2=Suppress

===Friends list===
* The maximum number of friends and ignored players has been doubled to 100 and 20 respectively.

===Party search===
* Added a Report button to the party search dialog.

===Bug fixes===
* Fixed an issue where your character’s LOD drops when zooming out the camera.
* Fixed an issue where the game client becomes unresponsive when it gets minimized or sent to the background.

==Additional notes==
Crash fix:
* Fixed a client crash related to the new “Whispers from friends, teammates and trade partners only” option.

=== Guild Wars Wiki notes ===
* If you experience any issues with [[Command_line_arguments|shortcuts]], make sure to remove the -lodfull argument. This argument has been removed, and may cause issues for some setups.
* The second update fixed a crash related to the updates to the whisper system.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/GuildWars/comments/8ia7fv/game_updates_592018/dyqar9l/?context=2 Bill Friest's reply on the guild wars subreddit thread for the update.]</ref>
* The player-cap in [[districts]] was increased on May 8th, the day prior to this update. <ref>[https://old.reddit.com/r/GuildWars/comments/8hz0hv/bigger_map_capacity_for_kamadan/dynr8ur/?context=3 Stephen Clarke-Willson's thread on the guild wars subreddit regarding the increase.]</ref>
