Ethyrial: Echoes of Yore has a new round of patch notes dated November 2, 2026, covering everything that changed since the October 31 patch. The headline additions are a prototype controller mode, a batch of combat fixes and a long list of visual and website improvements.
Combat and targeting
Melee weapons now actually reach a full 2.0 range, after 95 of them were set slightly short. Instant weapon strikes also use a fixed speed per weapon type, so their damage no longer depends on which specific weapon you hold:
- Daggers: 1.7
- One-handed: 2.4
- Two-handed: 3.3
- Ranged: 2.8
Auto-attacks are not affected. Several abilities were also repaired. Envenom had been hitting for zero and now deals damage again, Hex Nova gains a stack from every Demonic hit on a cursed target, and Cultist spells such as Leeching Bolt, Blood Boil, Exsanguinate and the Pacts now reach 26 tiles instead of 10. Eight gathering buffs and talents that were accidentally slowing gathering down now speed it up as intended.
Targeting has been tidied up too. Tab only changes your target and no longer starts auto-attack, left-clicking a hostile just selects it, and the attack key does nothing without a hostile target. When a player logs out, their helpful buffs and heals keep running on others, but their harmful effects end and they stop earning kill credit or skill experience. Respawning creatures will no longer go after their killer or whoever is standing on their spawn point. Fishing and skinning won’t destroy a catch when your bags are full, and lure charges are only spent when you land a fish.
Controller prototype and settings
Gamepad players can now move, steer the camera, jump, auto-run and cycle targets. Holding LT or RT gives access to 16 skill slots on the face buttons, menus can be navigated with the D-pad or left stick, and buttons can be rebound in the Controls screen. On Steam Deck, Ethyrial starts with a larger interface scale and supports the Steam on-screen keyboard. The developers stress that this is a test version and want reports on anything that feels off.
Custom keybinds and saved hotbars now survive game updates. Field of view is reset to 90 once for everyone, and maximum camera zoom extends to 20. Crash reports are switched on by default, contain no personal data and can be turned off under Settings > General.
World, items and interface
Water now appears on every graphics setting rather than only Ultra, the sea stretches to the horizon, and weather follows each region’s climate across Irumesa while caves, dungeons and interiors stay clear. A cleanup pass grounded 72 floating trees and 39 sunken creatures, including a desert world boss.
On the loot side, there’s a new legendary bag, Greener’s Bottomless Bag, with 42 slots. It’s a very rare drop from rare loot at level 20 and above. The Half-Digested Key chest also adds the Brinebitten Hatchet, Tidewrack Bow and Saltspire Staff. The Change Look window can now switch between male and female bodies, and the character window shows damage reduction and dealt damage by type and element, plus crafting and gathering speed.
Login now retries when the server is busy and reconnects automatically after a restart, and server restarts no longer cut saves short.
The official website received an update as well. It gains a Guild Finder with customisable guild emblems, an Armory hub with in-game combat stats, rankings and logs showing population, class popularity and boss kills, and a market rebuilt around real player prices that shows how fresh each price is.
