Hey guys,
Following things have been updated:- Smoother map loader. You should no longer get white screens when walking into another region. The overall loading process should now also be much quicker than before. Please bear in mind that teleporting will still give you a white screen, because there's no map that could be displayed during that time!
- Huge performance upgrades for the client. Our new client (with HD textures) was running slow on laptops. I've spent the entire last week on optimizing and tweaking the game experience especially for weaker laptops. By the time that you read this topic, you'll probably already have our latest client with the latest performance updates. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, it's difficult to test updates on many different devices for me. These performance updates were programmed on my laptop with the CPU clocked down by 50%, giving me a perfectly slow machine. If you're still having problems with the client's performance, please use the Helpdesk, or the Bug Report section. Also, before you request help, try to increase your FPS rate by changing graphic settings. I also recommend to cap the FPS rate at 60 or at whatever maximum refresh rate your monitor has.
- A bug was fixed that allowed you to hit especially high, when timing the usage of darts and switching your weapon to another weapon with a higher maxhit, before the hit was applied
- The textures of fire capes and magic trees are now animated again. It's disabled by default, because it's giving you a little drop in fps. Though, you're now free to enable it at your Game Settings. This only works when vbo-mode is enabled!
- Fixed screen is now available for vbo-mode.
- Textures of grass has been updated, should look better now. (Grass is only visible when ground decorations are enabled)
- Drop amounts for morrigan axes and spears changed. Spectrals will now drop 15-25 axes/javelins instead of 100-150.
- Drop amounts for dragon darts changed. Barrow chest now gives 25-50 dragon darts instead of 50-100.
- Attack power (max hit) of darts and knives was nerfed. Accuracy remains untouched.
- Chaos elemental now drops the elemental bow.
- Chronozon has been made stronger and now drops the elemental staff, which gives infinite amounts of air, water, earth and fire runes.
- Tormented demons have been added to varrock/lumbridge's slayer dungeon, which drop elemental crystals. These crystals can be used on whips, elemental staff and elemental bow to get a temporary upgrade. Upgraded elemental weapons degrade after 5.000 uses in combat. When degrading, there's a 50% chance that you get back the used weapon, or the used elemental crystal.
- Where to get elemental crystals? We've got new level 77 slayer monsters, tormented demons:
(https://emps-world.net/img/updates/tormented_demon.jpg) - Bolt effect occurance chance changed from 20% to 25%. Moreover, onyx bolts' maximum extra damage was reduced from 25 to 20. We changed them, because we want to rebalance their usage in pvp situations.
- God bows now attack 0.5 seconds slower. God bows special hit reduced to 1-4 from 1-5. I know that this nerf is big, but god bows are much stronger than any other tier 80 ranged weapon and we'd like to bring some equality to level 80 ranged gear!
- Dragon claws special attack max hit buffed to 125% from 115%.
- Drop rates of draconic visages were lowered. They're now a 1 in 1000 drop for black, green brutal, mithril, frost and king black dragons.
All the best,
Thomy

It took 8 hours after update for people to get the first ever Vorago kill in RS. There's a difference, you know...
