This update is particularly vital for those playing on the go; Funcom has addressed the persistent Steam Deck and BattlEye launch issues that were preventing players from jumping into the Exiled Lands. For server admins, the transition to Enhanced versions of legacy servers is now much smoother, as the update removes the need for manual configuration shifts during the upgrade process.
A major highlight for the community is the return of the Living Settlements feature. While it’s currently being rolled out carefully, it has been re-enabled on servers 1516, 1942, and 1509. This brings back a layer of immersion to NPC behavior that makes your hard-won territory feel significantly more alive. Additionally, the -MULTIHOME parameter now correctly registers hosts, ensuring better connectivity for those running complex server setups.
There is a small catch regarding player data—while the fix resolves disconnect registration bugs, some emote data may have been lost. If you find your character lacking their usual flair, you will need to re-learn those emotes in-game. Funcom has also reinstated player data collection preferences to ensure your settings are no longer being overwritten by default values.
Whether you are fortifying a mountain fortress or surviving the sandstorms of the south, these stability improvements ensure your legacy in the Exiled Lands remains uninterrupted by technical hitches.
