November 2026 update

The Great Overhaul

New light, a new sky, living weather and brand new screens. And the smoothest CruelKal has ever run, up to 144 FPS.

01 - Performance

FPS improvements, everywhere

Traced the game frame by frame and removed the slowdowns at their source.

Towns & open fields
35144FPS

Looking across open ground used to cut the frame rate in half. The ground is now built without the hidden slowdown.

Dungeons, packs of monsters
35140FPS

A huge pack of monsters no longer slow down the game. Their shadows and name tags were fixed.

Also fixed

  • No more "D3D" error when closing the game or switching characters.
  • No more washed-out colours across the entire realm.
  • Monster name tags now follow your Show Names option, like every other monster.
  • Perfect Group Cure 2 no longer overflows the HP

Your frame rate, your choice

The game runs at a cool, quiet 60 FPS by default. High refresh monitor? Pick 144 FPS in Graphic Settings -> Frame Rate.

02 - Lighting

A sun that moves through the day

Light now follows the time of day. Buildings, characters and monsters get a sunlit side and a shaded side. A soft dawn, bright noon, a warm evening and a cool blue night. Pick an hour:

The same square at 05:00, dawn The same square at 07:00, morning The same square at 12:00, noon The same square at 18:00, evening The same square at 20:00, dusk The same square at 01:00, night
05:00
Every login starts in the soft 7:00 morning light. Dungeons are always lit like midday.

Shape, depth and shadow

The old engine lit everything evenly from all sides, so the world looked flat. Now there is one sun for everything:

  • Sunlight from the real direction of the sun, changing through the day
  • Soft sky light from above, a warm glow bounced off the ground
  • Ground with depth: stones and grass catch the light and stand out as you move
Reworked ground

03 - Colour grading

Colours that pop

A new colour grading filter gives the whole world richer colours and deeper contrast. Names, windows and tooltips keep their own colours.

04 - Sky

A brand new sky

The flat old sky textures are gone. Drag the handle to compare it with the new summer clouds.

The old sky The new sky BeforeAfter
05 - Weather

The weather comes alive

Fog rolls in. Rain splashes on the ground. Snowflakes settle and melt away, and thunderstorms light up the sky. Weather events roll across the open world, from a light drizzle to a raging storm.

06 - In-game helpers

Everything at a glance

Two new panels on your screen keep you up to date while you play.

The session tracker: damage, DPS, EXP, EXP per hour, kills and kills per hour

Session tracker

See how your hunt is going: damage and DPS, EXP and EXP per hour, kills and kills per hour, and how long you have been at it.

L show / hideRight-click start a new session
The event panel: the running event with its time left and the next events counting down

Live events

Never miss an event: the one running now with the time it has left, and the next events counting down. The same schedule as the Events page here on the website.

07 - First impressions

A new look from the very first second

An animated login backdrop and a fresh server select and login screen with new buttons.

The new server select screen

The new login screen
LoginClean, readable, and Enter logs you straight in

AutoLogin

Put an AutoLogin.txt in your game folder and the game picks your server, logs you in and even enters with your character. Your password is encrypted on the first start, for your Windows account only. Hold Shift to skip it once.

08 - More to chase

New systems, new gear

Fresh goals for every hunter, trader and collector.

The Monster Hunt bar with the live top 10

Monster Hunt

"The Hunt Begins!" A target monster is announced. Race the whole server to hunt it, watch the live top 10 and claim the prizes.

Gold Bar shops

Personal shops can now trade in Gold Bars as well as Geons. Every buyer sees the currency right on the shop.

New wings
Glowing armour

New wing sets in fire, shadow, venom and ice, and glowing armour sets to match.
