    Mauve Manticore 8 and the first item crafted by Aloyzo are in this build. In addition, there are a bunch of bug fixes including the ability to run the Steam client when it can't connect to Steamworks. This might provide a work around for some cases where the client starts up with a black screen at the moment.

    If you do run the Steam client in this way, it will warn on startup and you will need to login manually as it can't use Steam to authenticate your account. This requires having a password, of course. In addition, purchases cannot be made in this mode as we haven't managed to get Paypal working this way (nor will Steam Wallet be available). Full instructions for how to do this can be found here.

    There's a fix here too for cases where the deck builder is manually scrolled down to the party and a character is added to or removed from the party when it isn't allowed by the server (i.e. rather than clicking modify party). Those buttons should be disabled now in that case.

    Finally, league prize awards have been reworked so it's much less likely you might get told an incorrect number of chests as a prize if you login while the prizes are being awarded.

    • Release Mauve Manticore #8.
    Items
    • Added Aloyzo's Arsenal item number one: Dynamic Staff
    Leagues

    • Optimise use of DB connections and prepared statements in league prizes updates.
    • Fixed an old DB league patch.
    Deck Builder
    • Disable add to / remove from party buttons in pre-adventure deck builder pre-battle state. Fixes server side failures to change party when the player has scrolled manually in the pre-adventure deck builder.

    • Fix desktop web browser crash on return from Paypal.

    Card Hunter is currently down for maintenance. Please try again in a few minutes.
    Did the server close down again for anyone else? - I disconnected mid-game.

    The server is up now. Are you playing via web client or steam?

    I am playing on game.cardhunter
    I could join the game and started a match, on the third round I got kicked and it said that message:
    but now I can log in as normal - I guess it was just a glitch in the system.
