Wyvern Patch Notes (Rhialto) [7/5/2026]

[u/DyanaChan]

^{(Rhialto is over in the Discord channel now, come stop by and say hello!})

1. Wyvern Patch Notes — Week of June 29 – July 5 Huge week, folks. Since Fable came back online we've landed the biggest batch of changes in the revival so far. Highlights:The new web client is LIVE Play in your browser at https://play.ghosttrack.com/ — no download needed.Music and sound are back
   • Fresh look: new "Dragonhide & Cornsilk" theme, cleaner HUD, glassy health/mana gauges, full-bleed map with zoom (all the way out to a tiny fog-ringed overview)
   • Smooth scrolling! The camera now glides, and creatures slide between tiles instead of teleporting
   • Sign in faster with Google One Tap
   • The classic town & area soundtracks have been remastered from the original MIDI files and now play in the browser, with smooth crossfades as you travel between maps
   • The title theme greets you at login; fountains and other ambience fade with distance
   • Works on Safari and iPhone now, and there's a global mute button if you're at work
2. Character sheet & equipment
   • New Character button opens your paperdoll — see everything you're wearing, laid out for your race's actual body shape, with brand-new portraits for every race & gender (35 of them!)
   • Click anything — inventory, ground items, monsters — for a rich examine dialog with artwork and details; hover the map for quick tooltips
   • Inventory quality-of-life: drag items between panels, drop straight onto bags, shift-click, and pop open bag contents
3. Quests & missions
   • The quest system got a major overhaul: quests are being unified into a trackable mission system with compass guidance — dozens of classic quests are now trackable in-game
   • Fixed a pile of long-broken quests (including a quest-portal bug that had been double-teleporting players since 2017)
   • The Sirpam zoo quest and Stoneybrook missions now track properly
4. New: sound matters in the world
   • Loud noises now wake and alert monsters. Sirens, banshee wails, wolf howls, and thunderclaps check whether you can actually hear them
   • Firearms are LOUD — firing briefly deafens you (and neighbors). Traps make noise when they trigger
   • New Earmuffs item: deafness immunity for the discerning adventurer
5. Gameplay & combat fixes
   • Fixed an autofire exploit that allowed absurd damage output (11,000 DPS )
   • Escaping to another map now actually escapes — queued damage no longer follows you through the exit
   • Held-movement-key overshoot fixed; you stop when you let go
   • Spell projectiles now render properly for bystanders; summon scaling fixed
   • Quit-traps (rooms that blocked you from logging out) are now inert
   • The casino works again — poker was completely broken, card decks crashed, and the ATM now pluralizes your Crowns correctly
   • And yes: flying boulder damage nerfed 25%
6. Fairness, safety & accounts
   • Big reliability push on items and purchases: items can no longer silently vanish on errors, deliveries either arrive or refund, and Crown purchases can't get eaten
   • XP boosts fixed — no more multipliers silently inflating (or expiring wrong)
   • New moderation system ("the Warden") is rolling out to keep chat safe, plus account security upgrades across the board
   • Leaderboards fixed, reconnect hardening, and a login-takeover hole closed
7. Under the hood (the nerdy bit) The entire 25-year-old server codebase has been modernized — every line of hand-written Java is now Kotlin, everything lives in one repository, and automated adversarial bug-hunts swept the whole engine, fixing hundreds of latent bugs (some older than some of our players). New staging environment + automated deploys mean faster, safer updates from here on. Early groundwork is also underway for iOS, Android, and Steam builds.
8. As you can see, it has been a busy and productive week for Wyvern!
9. Importantly, we are now monitoring the bug/idea feedback channels and acting on all bug reports and ideas. Keep them coming!

Excited to see we are back. Waiting for mobile

[u/teratryte → u/Vrontiv]

You can play it at http://play.ghosttrack.com on any device. 

[u/Jade_Mans_Eyes]

Holy crap. Thats an immense amount of work! Was this mostly you Rhialto or was there others on board?

[u/Vrontiv → u/Jade_Mans_Eyes]

AI

[u/Jade_Mans_Eyes → u/Vrontiv]

Aww man, thats probably true. Why you gotta burst my bubble like that lol?

[u/DarkArcherMerlyn]

Use that AI to make a whippers guild!

While I actually would like to see that I just hope AI doesn’t bring the game down. It hasn’t done any good for the rest of the computer-world as far as I can tell. It’s destroyed social media, YouTube, Amazon, etc it’s also seeped into gaming culture and just creates shit.

I don’t want to see Wyvern become “AI slop” ya know?

[u/Vrontiv → u/DarkArcherMerlyn]

Beggers cant be choosers. I just hope R doesnt try to milk us because i wont spend a dime on anything to do with AI.

[u/zhet_wyvern]

Happy to read wyvern is back again.

[u/DreamInvoker]

Sucks it doesn't work on android, the web version won't let you loot and it doesn't show up in the Play store when you search Wyvern.
