1.00.12 — Server Migration Warning
Ver 1.00.12 is a critical ops patch, not a balance patch.
The scary rule (do not ignore)
Community tracking of the official post emphasizes:
After migrating on 1.00.12, logging in again from an older client could cause unrecoverable item loss.
Practical translation:
- Update every PC you use
- Steam → verify integrity if unsure
- Do not “just quickly open” an unpatched install after the migration
Why it shipped
Launch traffic overloaded infrastructure. Migration moved key game data toward the team’s own server setup to reduce provider overload. Regional connection issues were also acknowledged in the same era of posts.
Codex advice that still applies
- Multi-device AFK setups must stay version-locked
- After any future migration announcement, read the Steam post before farming overnight
- Keep Idle vs Offline habits, but only on a current client
