Patch 16 - Hollow Oak UI update

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.

Client recovery bundle available

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.
