Guild Wars 1 Patchnotes – 9. Mai

• Increased the maximum number of active minipets allowed in outposts.

Graphics improvements

• Added windowed Fullscreen support.
• Added a new 8X MSAA anti-aliasing option.
• The “Use best texture filtering” option will now take advantage of 16x Anisotropic filtering.
• A new “Advanced” option checkbox has been added to the Graphics options panel. This will replace the “-lodfull” command line option that was added recently.
  • Model LODs will always use the highest available LOD (Level Of Detail), regardless of distance, including the disabling of “imposter” models.
  • The max draw distance will be doubled. Ground cover vegetation draw distance will be pushed out even further.
  • Terrain LODs will almost always draw in highest.
  • Note: Full changes won’t take effect until changing maps.

Chat

• A new option has been added to suppress Whisper messages from players that don’t meet the following criteria:
  • Party member, friend, active trade partner, or recent party/team member.
• You may now /report directly in the whisper chat window without needing to type the character name.
  • Reporting players is still restricted to the same district that you’re in.
• Custom chat filters are now possible. To use this feature, you must create a ChatFilter.ini file. The file will be placed in the “C:\Users\%username%\Documents\Guild Wars” folder. The file layout is as follows:
  • [ChatFilter]
  • userFilter1=Censor
  • userFilter2=Suppress

Friends list

• The maximum number of friends and ignored players has been doubled to 100 and 20 respectively.

Party search

• Added a Report button to the party search dialog.

Bug fixes

• Fixed an issue where your character’s LOD drops when zooming out the camera.
• Fixed an issue where the game client becomes unresponsive when it gets minimized or sent to the background.

Crash fix

• Fixed a client crash related to the new “Whispers from friends, teammates and trade partners only” option.
