IWC 0.52 Patch Notes

April 12^th 2022, IWC Version 0.52

Major Features

Deckbuilder Fixes and Optimization

A new asynchronous deckbuilder loader has been added and integrated with the vanity cosmetics of various cards and the inventory to drastically decrease loading times.

Vanity Improvements

Card Cosmetics have received additional improvements, fixing a number of bugs and having far better integration with the deckbuilder. Also deck saves have received some major upgrades to better handle your chosen cosmetics. Note that your old decks will be converted automatically, but set fully to grayscale. So be sure to re-add your cosmetic choices.

Account Transfer Improvements

Improvements have been made to the account transfer system that was causing some cards to go missing, specifically those gotten via trades. These changes have been applied retroactively to old accounts as well. In additionally, the account transfer summary page has been improved to more accurately show the number of cards transferred.

Animation Fixes

Nearly 30 cards have received fixes to their animated spritesheets that meant they didn't loop correctly or jittered. We have an additional dozen or so we are still in the process of fixing for next patch.
