We decided to widely increase the adventure on SkyShadow by creating new levels, structured with a system that doesn't unbalance any Gear; we also decided to slightly reduce the general experience rate so that there's an actual gameplay not limited to the highest levels but also available to the lower ones. From now on the basic Happy Hour will also include a discount percentage on certain days in certain shops. We decided to create two separated Happy Hours, one available from Lv.1 to Lv.110, which will have a medium/high experience bonus, in exchange of decreased drop rate and shops discount bonuses. There is also a special Week-end (saturday and sunday) Happy Hour, which goes from Lv.111 to Lv.135, which sacrifices higher experience bonuses in exchange of higher drop rate and shops discount bonuses.

• New Anti-Hack system

​Created new Anti-Hack system into three phases:
- Preventive
- Active
- Perceptive

In addition to analyzing what interacts with the client before it opens and while it is active, the system also performs dynamic calculations of the Gear's parameters, constantly comparing them with the values of items and buffs; also, the system log will now set a limit and give a warning to any suspicious character.
In case you try and use a new Hack/Cheat system it should automatically update itself, changing the static points of the game.

• HackShield/New Bug Report System

Added the official and licensed HackShield version with automatic updates, fully compatible with the new client. Added a new Bug Report System in case any problem occurs, or in case the client were to crash or operate the wrong way. Were this to happen, the Report System would activate itself, giving you the possibility to immediately send a System Log to the Team Developer, who would analyze said log and then proceed to fix the issue.

• Operative System

Solved any latest Windows OS version compatibility issue; reduced CPU usage of the client.*

Although, the recommended OSs are: Windows 8.1 and Windows 7.
Thus, to optimize game graphics and improve performance by integrating a new generation graphic accellerator, it was necessary to exclude obsolete or out of production OSs, which would not guarantee efficienty, safety and updates.

• The Storyline *

Game storyline has been completely rewritten to make it more intriguing and give it a better perspective towards following events.
Split in chapters and tales, it is now possible to read the history of the planet, or of the monsters living on it and those which may be there. As mentioned above, players will be shaping the storyline by playing and finding items, or by taking part in events or doing heroic deeds.

• Characters' storyline *

From now on any character which players will be able to use will have a rather clear storyline which will influence its ethics, its attitude and even its inclination towards a specific nation rather than a different one; throughout the first season there will be no benefits nor buffs in case a certain character gets to face another one linked to its past, whereas all of the upcoming characters will have a storyline more or less linked to their nation or other characters.

• Season System *

As previously mentioned, from now on, apart from the usual episodes (which will continue with regular updates and the usual time flow, but do not have a set end or beginning), there will be Gaming Seasons which will be marked through the years; they are split as follows:

- The Pre-Season:
Lasts a single month. All of the updates to get ready for the following season will be done; during this time, players will have the chance to test them and eventually give a feedback. Also, at the end of the Pre-Season month Brigade Fame, Arena Points and Contribution Points will be set back to 0. During this month the storyline will be updated with the events from the previous season.
-The Season
Lasts 5 months. Players will be able to play SkyShadow as they used to, but will also take part in events to increase their score and will be able to compete in the Arena in order to achieve Avatars (available in the community sections) and In-game awards (which will be given at the end of the Season).

• Game Files

The SkyShadow files are based on the 4.5 version of ACE Online and have been modified to avoid any lag issue, in order to achieve the best performance on any Pc.

• Graphics engine and game graphics

The graphics​ engine is the same as Ace Online, as making any variation would drastically change the game itself.

Though, it's been updated to the latest DirectX version, which will highly benefit the GPU's performance, increasing the framerate (getting rid of the so called "Screen Lag") and allowing your pc to display more objects, larger maps, more characters at higher resolutions.
Speaking of global aesthetics, all of the maps textures have been recreated: more details have been added, and the files have been put in the client with a x12 resolution, rather than the usual x2, in order for the maps to be more appealing to the eye, although they are the same maps from previous versions of the official ones.

In-game models have also been restructured so to ease CPU usage, achieving higher framerates.

• Game Interface

​New intuitive game interface and new features.

• New game Features

The latest version of the game includes new features, such as the Trade Center, the Global Map and other internal functions for NPCs and game dynamics. New models and features, which players will get to know about throughout the Pre-Season time, have been completely rebuilt to get rid of any bug which could allow tampering or alteration of normal Gameplay.

Yea solve you*r client crash and disconnect bug*s ;)

When i download the installer, it installs and then says that some things aren't existing like the .exe ^^

what about little help _ by sharing your idea :D

Its nice how you just set up all this info, but dont you think it is a little strange to stuff your client and installer.exe with malware?

Even the worst anti virus programs could detect it..

Seems nice!
