Patch 31 is live.

- Improved Auction House performance by optimizing several models, especially around the bank counters.
- Finished the matching AH boards, entrance designs and placement fixes.
- Fixed the upstairs boundary while keeping railing jumps available.

Sorry for the extra patch - some models needed another optimization pass to reduce lag. Thanks for testing and sticking with us!

Close the game and run the Hollow Updater to update.

The second side of the Auction House is now complete, with refreshed decorations, improved models and smoother performance.

Close the game and run Hollow Updater to get Patch 29.

Patch 30 and Hollow Updater 6 are live.

Installation order matters: close the game and launcher, download the matching binary bundle below, and install its client DLL and updater into your existing Hollow client first. Then run the updated launcher to apply patch 30 before signing in. The asset patch alone does not replace the DLL.

- Renamed 242 wings and their matching Item Mall labels. The seven established wing names remain unchanged.
- Improved wing effect rendering and standing, walking and running movement support.
- Restored the original Illusion Wings model.
- Updated the launcher with selectable artwork, colour themes, animation preferences, improved update progress and archive rebuilding, news loading and themed Options/message windows.

Hellfire Wings (Test) is a separate reserved test item with red textures and animated wing-tip flames. It is not sold in the Item Mall.

Patches 27–28 are live. Close the game and run Hollow Updater before logging in.

- Fixed the Shrewd Blade starter attack range and corrected damage and attack-speed inconsistencies across matching weapons.
- Updated 11 affected lapis to use ordinary Lv7 linking settings.
- Dual Mystic and Dual Wise Lv5 now give REC +13 instead of LUC +13.
- Replaced DD2 accessory drops with the Helm Lapis Lv2 pool. All six Helm Lapis Lv1 are now available from the Lapis Merchant.
- Expanded the Item Mall selection to 254 distinct wings, including 42 additional designs, with duplicate models omitted.
- Fixed wing previews and equipped appearances, and corrected six existing wing icons.

DP redemption update is now available.

Select quantities from multiple card values, redeem a whole type, or redeem all cards. Cards are detected across all five inventory bags, with pages for additional values. The selected-count issue has been fixed and tested.

Close the game, install the official DLL pack, then run your existing updater to get the new window. Older DLLs will miss these features. If antivirus removes the DLL, check protection history and contact staff.

Patches 20–25 are live! Close the game and run your Hollow updater before logging in.

- New custom Auction House with a bank, treasury seating area, improved lighting and matching visuals.
- Fixed Auction House loading issues, upstairs floor collision and invisible obstacles around the bank.
- Added Light and Dark Starter Merchants with free level 70 gear, plus a Lapis Merchant beside the blacksmith. Merchant positions and floor heights are corrected.
- Fixed Hollow Fortune, Lucky and DP Bags. Lucky Bag enchanting materials are for level 70 gear.

We’re working on the new DP redemption feature and will have an update soon.

Required for ALL players: download and install the latest client sdev.dll. It contains the recent client fixes and updates. Completing Patch 19 in the updater alone does not replace this DLL.

1. Close the game and updater.
2. Download the pack below and copy its sdev.dll into your existing Hollow game folder, beside Game.exe. Replace the old file and keep the name sdev.dll.
3. Run Hollow Updater normally, then start the game.

If you already have the latest correct DLLs and a working updater, you do not need to repair or reinstall the updater. The download is labelled Recovery Pack, but everyone on an older client DLL needs its new sdev.dll. The other bundled files are available if your installation needs repair.

- Updated Item Mall buttons and tabs to match the Hollow theme.
- Included the completed interface fixes for skill bars, settings and other game windows.
- Includes the recent boss HP update for small groups through the patch chain.

Use the download button below to get the latest client sdev.dll inside the pack.

Adjusted boss HP for smaller level 70 groups. Synced monster data between the client and server. Added an updated recovery pack with the DP right-click fix.

Run your updater to get Patch 18.

Need the updated client files? Close the game and updater, extract the recovery pack into your existing client folder, replace the included files, then run the updater again. Existing game data is required.

Cleaned up NPC shops. Potion merchants now stock the full level 1-70 potion range and cures. Fixed reported item stats and Item Mall bundle contents, plus the updater issue that could block patches.

Run your updater to get Patch 17.

Having trouble updating? Close the game and updater, extract the recovery pack into your existing client folder, replace the included files, then run the updater again. Existing game data is required.

Patch 16 is live! Hollow Oak UI, text alignment and overlap fixes, restored portraits, and clearer GM controls.

Close the game and updater, replace sdev.dll in your client folder, then run the updater for Patch 16.

If your updater says "not the approved hashed bootstrap build", contact staff for the matching updater update. The DLL linked here is correct.

Please report remaining UI issues with a screenshot.

A recovery bundle is now available for existing Hollow clients. The tested client reached the live map and displayed the expected AP balance.

Close the game, updater and CONFIG before installing. Extract all seven files from this ZIP into your existing Hollow client folder, replacing the matching files, then launch the updater normally. Keep the seven files together. This is not a full client: it contains the client DLL, updater and five matching runtime DLLs, not Game.exe or item archives.

Normal patching is now live through patch 14, and the matching server changes have been deployed and the game service restarted. Run the updater normally to receive the item archive updates. This recovery ZIP remains a separate seven-binary bundle and does not contain item archives. This release is not a claim that every crash or SQL error has been fixed.

Daily rewards now stop after the account completes its sequence and resume on the next server day, with the next first reward scheduled for 00:05:15 UTC. A legacy sequence already in progress can finish once before the new daily gate applies.

If Windows or security software blocks the bundle, contact staff for help. Do not disable protection or install a private signing root.
