Original article
Let's have a look through the latest Patch list as posted by Chedburn to see what changes and fixes have been made this week, and what they mean for you.
Please note, the updates and bugs documented in this article are worked on by a team of developers. Where a single developer is individually mentioned, it simply reflects who confirmed the report as fixed or complete, and not that they were solely responsible.
Updates, Changes and Additions
- Added auto-leave for all finished fights after 30 seconds (even after closing page)
After a false start a couple of weeks ago which produced unexpected bugs, a change has now been implemented which means a defeated opponent will now be left on the street by default if a choice hasn't been made after 30 seconds.
- Added amount shortcuts for points input fields in the faction page
BeerDrinker notices in this report that input shortcuts (such as 'k' for thousand) do not work for the deposition of points to your faction. Chedburn has confirmed this has been added.
- Added caching to Wiki to optimise load speed and mitigate DDoS effect
In line with the changes made to the API, caching has been added to the wiki to improve load speed. As the wiki is also a prominent attack vector for malicious users, this measure may also mitigate DDoS effects.
- Improved the helper message new players receive when they first signup
After a suggestion by DeathSlade, the introduction message received by new players from helpers has been updated to include links to the forums for New Players and Tutorials and Guides.
- Changed order of faction permissions list to alphabetical name ascending
After a report by L4suicide regarding the difficulty with changing faction permissions while on mobile, Chedburn agreed to change the order in which members are listed to 'Alphabetical Ascending'.
- Removed unnecessary upkeep buttons appearing on properties that are listed for sale or rent
After a report from BeerDrinker regarding the ability to access the upkeep page of a property that is for sale, Chedburn has confirmed that the 'Pay upkeep' button for properties on the market is now disabled.
Bugs, Issues and Typos
- Fixed address autocomplete for input boxes in chrome
Xiphias reports here that while on the 'Preferences' page, Chrome recognises the input for chat boxes as an address field, attempting to auto-fill saved addresses. vysdel2 confirmed that the issue had been fixed.
- Fixed wrong total point match bookie event message
Aiexstrasza reported here an issue in which she received an incorrect event for a bookie result, claiming that the bet had been won when it had not. Kopites acknowledged that the bet was lost and the event message was incorrect. This has been fixed for future instances.
- Fixed player honor bars appearing on slots jackpot winners page when honor bar names disabled
Xiphias observed in this thread that despite having Honor bars turned off in preferences, honor bars are still loaded on the Slots Jackpot Winners page. aurel1 reports that this has been fixed.
- Fixed daylight savings issue on timers site-wide
In one of several DST issues, Brunty_MD reported here that he was stuck flying to Dubai with the travel timer locked at 00:00:00. dmitriyz assured that a fix for the issues had been found.
- Fixed icon for popular threads with negative rating inside popular threads list
BeerDrinker reports an issue with the Popular Threads tab, in which negatively rated threads display a thumbs up instead of a thumbs down. Xepa4ep confirms that this has been changed.
- Fixed additional "days" being displayed when starting a new education course
hemi reports that when starting a new education course, the word "days" is repeated after the duration of the course is mentioned - e.g. "It will take 20 days, 3 hours and 50 minutes days to complete." Chedburn confirmed that this has been corrected.
- Fixed typo on error when changing name: "This is you current name"
Wevie reports here that when one attempts to change their name to their current name, the error message reads "This is you current name" instead of "your". Chedburn confirmed that this has been amended.

MauTheWizard discovered that if a profile URL is properly constructed, profile pages can display the username of another player, as he demonstrated with Chedburn's username on his own profile. nikitad confirmed that this had been fixed.
- Fixed displaying incorrect bounty reason text when users bounty the same person
chaaaaarl reported here that after placing a bounty on a user with one reason, a bounty placed on the same user by his now-fedded faction mate displayed the exact same reason even though it had been different at the time of placing. nikitad confirmed that this has been corrected.
- Fixed Close button when using items from the faction
Stewie observed here that after using items from the faction armoury, the 'Close' button no longer worked at all. Xepa4ep has now reported this issue as fixed.
- Fixed error message when trying to add used item
ORAN reports here that after using an item such as a Goodie bag, and then attempting to add it to your bazaar, the item checking error message incorrectly states that the item can not be 'trashed', instead of 'added to bazaar'. Xepa4ep has now confirmed this has been amended.
- Fixed Duke adding bounties to unattackable 'Tester' accounts
Jefayette reported here that Duke had bountied a user that happened to be a developer's 'tester' account, and hence could not be attacked. Chedburn confirmed that this had been fixed.
- Fixed issue when changing password for old users who had password lengths of less than 6 characters

- Fixed subscribed threads post URL in forums
BeerDrinker reports here that when clicking on a subscribed thread that has new posts, he is brought to the latest reply instead of being brought to the first 'new' post. Chedburn has confirmed this is wrong, and Xepa4ep has corrected it.
