Patch 1.0.0.8: World Save Preservation Hotfix

Patch 1.0.0.8 deployed across Xbox, PlayStation 5, Epic Games Store, Steam, Jagex Launcher, and Nintendo Switch 2. This hotfix directly addresses reports of world save files disappearing under certain gameplay conditions.

Patch 1.0.0.8 Fixes and Server Management

Patch Component	Verified Update Status	Required Player Action
World Saves Bug	Fixed issue causing active World Saves to disappear	Update game client to 1.0.0.8
Dedicated Servers	Live hotfix deployed across server hosts	Restart server process to apply update
Previously Disappeared Saves	Restoration logic scheduled for Patch 1.0.1	Do not delete affected world folders
Server Update Rate Limits	Addressed SteamCMD download rate limit issues	Coordinate with server hosting provider

Important Note on Disappeared Worlds: Worlds that previously disappeared before installing this update remain hidden until Patch 1.0.1 deploys. Jagex confirmed that Patch 1.0.1 includes full restoration scripts and compensation packages for corrupted character profiles.

Patch 1.0.0.5: Multiplayer Stability Hotfix

Patch 1.0.0.5 shipped on September 25-26, 2026 and is the most current build. Every item in it is a fix rather than a balance change, and several of them matter directly if you play co-op or run a dedicated server.

Multiplayer and Connectivity

Issue	Status
Failing to connect to multiplayer servers with more than 2 players present	Fixed
Joining a modded Dedicated Server from consoles corrupting a player save	Fixed
Sworn Servant failing to cast in Multiplayer or Dedicated Servers	Fixed
Dedicated Server owners unable to edit their worlds from consoles	Fixed
Server search bar being case sensitive	Fixed

The multi-player connection fix is the one to notice. If you could not get into a group world above two players after 1.0, this patch is what unblocks it.

Scorned Wilderness and Progression

Issue	Status
AI not respawning as intended on starting the second Scorned Wilderness raid attempt	Fixed
Dying in the Scorned Wilderness raid skipping a respawn point	Fixed
Summon Shelter unusable in the Scorned Wilderness hub	Fixed
Abyssal Whip recipe not unlocking for users with existing character saves	Fixed
Luminite ore unable to be crafted into Divine Rocks	Fixed

Two of these are progression fixes, not just stability. If you have been playing since Early Access, the Abyssal Whip recipe and the Luminite-to-Divine-Rock craft were both live for existing saves without working. Both are fixed here.

Items and Interface

Issue	Status
Primordial Hearts, Imbued Granite Maul Heads and Chinchompa Skulls unable to be destroyed or stored	Fixed
Processing Stations not highlighting the correct button for controller cursor position	Fixed
Switch 2 video capture not working	Fixed

Patch 1.0.1: Eye on Ashenfall (October 14, 2026)

Update 1.0.1, titled Eye on Ashenfall, launched on October 14, 2026 across PC, PS5, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch 2. This major update delivers the long-awaited save recovery system, new combat perks, inventory expansions, and key balance passes.

Save Recovery and Corrupted Character Catch-Up Mechanic

The headline priority in 1.0.1 resolves the critical issue of disappearing world saves and offers an automated recovery path:

• World Save Restoration: Deploys backend fixes preventing world save data from failing to load or disappearing from the client menu.
• Corrupted Character Catch-Up: For players whose character files were corrupted by early release crashes, Jagex introduced an automated catch-up system. Affected players can re-enter the game with aggregated baseline stats and a full set of Tier 4 gear to jump straight back into the endgame.
• Save Integrity Watch: If you still encounter controller menu prompts on launch, cycling controller inputs bypasses the prompt while server telemetry verifies the profile.

New Combat Mechanics and Ranged Subclass Perks

• Jump Attack (Death From Above!): Unlocked via the Skill Tree. When attacking from the peak of a double jump, your character plunges downward in a heavy ground-slam. Damage scales directly with equipped weapon power.
• Ammo Recovery & Greater Ammo Recovery: Added to the Ranged skill tree, granting a percentage chance to retrieve spent arrows directly from slain monster corpses.
• Ranged Weapon Subclass Specials:
  • Shortbow (Rapid Fire): Backstep hop firing 3 rapid arrows across split targets.
  • Longbow (Power Shot): Stationary kneeling draw dealing devastating long-range burst damage.
  • Crossbow (Heavy Bolt): Charged high-impact bolt applying Enchanted status effects on-hit.
• Low Blow Perk: Direct hits to enemy legs apply the Hamstrung movement debuff (Tiny and Colossal enemies immune).
• Rune Ammunition Buff: Rune Arrows and Bolts deal 4.9x damage multiplier, up from Adamant’s 4.2x multiplier.

Inventory, Equipment Slots and Quality of Life

• Inventory Capacity Expansion: Base inventory capacity increased from 32 to 40 slots, significantly reducing inventory trips while grinding skills.
• Dedicated Accessory Slots: Added separate dedicated Ring and Amulet slots, allowing simultaneous equipping of both jewelry types.
• Compost Upgrades: Added the Large Compost Bucket and Ultra Compost Bin for high-efficiency Farming progression.
• Completed Quests Log: The Journal now features a completed quest summary tab detailing narrative outcomes.
