This release cannot be updated through the PSLauncher, so you have to download it from our Download page.

Here is the list of changes for 0.7.45:

Unreal Engine upgrade
With the objective to stay as much as possible up to date, we have upgraded PlaneShift to the latest available Unreal Engine (version 5.4.3). It was a major upgrade, as we skipped 5.2 and 5.3, requiring change and adaptations. The new engine brings new functionality we will leverage in the future, plus enhanced stability and compatibility with newer Operating Systems and hardware.

New features
Improved Generated dungeons, we now can have any number of dungeons at the same time, which will allow us to have more variety for different player ranks. We also added a new dungeon room, the one featured in the screenshot. Dungeons can now have secret doors, to find them you need to use the Detect Secrets ability, part of your Intelligence stat. Just look at the place where you think a secret passage can be and then use the ability. If successfull the wall will become ethereal and you (or other players) can pass through it.
Added gray textures for Klyros Female, so we now have a gray skin as the male
Continuing on the addition of new jewelry, now there are options for Klyros Male and Female. Those are available in the character creation, but if you already have a Klyros created, you can ask a GM for now. In the future those will may be sold by merchant (possibly)
Pet now save energy to database when you feed them, but summoning will cost some energy.
Enhancements to the merchant and storage window, now the current/max quality is present in the item list, so you don't have to open each item to see it
The first available character is now automatically selected in character selection screen
The new release has a number of new images for creatures/plants/minerals, to be used in the near future for the compendium. You will be able to analyze and discover information about those elements , then added to the compendium as permanent knowledge.
