The loading screen on a first visit is much shorter.
Downloads should be quicker, especially outside the US: the game's art now comes from Cloudflare's servers around the world, with our own server as a backup.
Smoother play
Much smoother on streets full of furnished houses and wherever lots of things lie on the ground.
Walking into a house no longer freezes the game for a moment.
No more stutter the first time you see a spell cast, or a weapon or instrument in someone's hand.
Fewer hitches when you arrive somewhere by Recall or a gate.
Dispel
Dispel and Mass Dispel are no longer a crime, so sending someone's summons away in town won't call the guards on you.
Stronger spellcasting monsters now dispel the summons you send at them, and the toughest use Mass Dispel to clear several at once.
Updates
You now get a little more warning before an update restarts the server.
