Titan Development Log

The World page now has a Current Weather section with a direct link, zone-name search, and a button for each weather type. Elemental colors make the filters easier to scan. It shows the weather actually running on Titan in base-game, Zilart, Chains of Promathia, and Treasures of Aht Urhgan zones; later expansion zones are excluded. Readings refresh every 30 seconds, and missing or stale readings are marked unavailable.

Bard Recruits stopped using their idle movement song because the Support-choice system was also blocking Mazurka. That restriction has been removed for peaceful travel. After 30 continuous seconds with no party engagement or enemy hate, level 37–72 Bards can use Raptor Mazurka and level 73+ Bards can use Chocobo Mazurka. The song planner preserves Mazurka while the party remains peaceful, then resumes selected combat songs when fighting returns. Gambits OFF still prevents new actions.

The update passed local regression checks and Dynamis deployment checks before Titan activation. Full song animation and party-recipient checks remain an in-game tester follow-up.

Dynamis test updates can now proceed immediately when the test server is empty. The 10-minute restart countdown and global warnings remain required for live Titan updates.

Soulsoother and Spiritreaver construction could stay unfinished long after the base completion timer had expired. An era override was advancing work at real-world Japanese midnights, requiring daily coffee and blocking delivery while its separate work-day counter remained positive. That conflicted with the base quest’s Vana’diel-day timer.

Head construction now follows the base Vana’diel schedule, including its existing two-to-four, three-to-four, or five-day wait depending on the scroll supplied. Imperial Coffee is optional: one cup can shorten an unfinished head’s wait by one Vana’diel day, once per Vana’diel day, starting the day after commissioning. It no longer gates progress on a real-world daily work cycle.

Paid materials and existing completion deadlines are preserved. If your head is already overdue, speak to Ghatsad after the update to collect it; you do not need to restart the quest or pay again. The old work counters are cleared on interaction. Original frame materials and next-Vana’diel-day frame delivery remain unchanged.

The deployed code reproduced the overdue-head failure in regression tests. The correction passes overdue-head delivery, coffee timing, rejected extra trades, new head commissioning and original frame-material tests. In-game handover confirmation remains pending.

The Uggalepih Offering pickup could start hidden with no timer to bring it back. Its NPC record omitted the visible status, and the loader treats an omitted status as hidden. The pickup now explicitly starts visible at its normal location in the Temple of Uggalepih.

A successful collection gives one Offering and hides the pickup for everyone for two hours. While hidden, it selects one of six Phoenix reference locations and moves there after three seconds. The random selection may choose the same location again. This replaces the previous one-hour cooldown and fixed position.

Players who already have an Offering, have a full inventory, or cannot receive the item do not start a new hide or movement cycle. Following the supplied Phoenix behavior, a server restart restores the initial location and makes the pickup available again; the two-hour cooldown is not saved across restarts. Pawberry trading, loot and Recruit behavior are unchanged.

Local tests cover all six locations, successful and failed delivery, and the existing movement helper. The NPC data passes schema validation. Two-client visibility and an uninterrupted two-hour reappearance cycle still need in-game confirmation.

The diagnostics controls introduced in 1.6.1 were missing from the visible launcher because the newer Play screen discarded controls from its original layout. They now live inside Troubleshooting, alongside Compatibility Launch and DirectX repair.

Open Troubleshooting and leave Crash monitoring (keep launcher open) checked to record game-session diagnostics. After an unexpected exit, wait a few seconds and choose Export diagnostics to save a local ZIP for review and support. Unchecking the menu option restores close-after-launch behavior. The launcher and installer are Microsoft Artifact Signed; this corrects access to the diagnostic tools and does not claim to resolve the reported combat crash.

Turning dgVoodoo2 off was also rejecting unrelated graphics wrappers, which prevented some players from launching with ReShade and D3D8-to-D3D9. OFF now removes identified dgVoodoo files while preserving custom renderers and their settings. The launcher checks again immediately before starting the game and records the graphics DLL actually loaded when Windows permits inspection.

Try Compatibility Launch now uses a temporary windowed 1280x720 profile without optional plugins, addons, TitanGambits or custom startup commands. The required isolated-client core remains loaded. Your saved selections and normal startup scripts are preserved. Custom graphics wrappers remain installed, so this test isolates extensions without claiming to rule out ReShade or other renderers.

Crash monitoring is enabled by default and keeps the launcher open during play. It records loaded DLL paths, versions and hashes, process memory use, the game exit code and available Windows crash-event fields. Uncheck Crash Monitoring to close the launcher after startup. Export Diagnostics saves recent logs to a local ZIP for you to review and share; it does not upload automatically or include passwords, login tickets, chat logs or memory dumps.

The reported combat crash has not been reproduced or confirmed resolved. A D3D8 fault-module name alone does not identify its cause; these diagnostics should provide better evidence for the next occurrence. The launcher and installer are Microsoft Artifact Signed.

Jackel, Servo, Luna, and Xhelphie now have all 22 jobs unlocked at level 75 on Dynamis, along with full in-game GM level 5 access for testing. Subjobs still use the normal level cap. These changes apply only to their Dynamis characters; their live Titan characters and permissions were not changed.

The database changes were verified for all four characters and applied while they were offline on Dynamis, without restarting either server. In-game checks by the testers are still pending.

Play Titan is back in the bottom-right corner of the launcher. The smaller Dynamis Test Server button now sits immediately to its left and still requires approved test-server access. The launcher and installer are Microsoft Artifact Signed.

Dynamis is our separate test world for checking updates before they reach Titan. Invited testers can use the smaller Dynamis Test Server button beside Play Titan after signing in. The button stays grey for accounts without permission and while the test world is offline. The server also checks permission; changing a launcher button cannot grant access.

The initial testers have separate copies of their characters. Progress, items and gil earned on Dynamis do not transfer to Titan, and live characters are unaffected. Test logins use short-lived, single-use tickets stored separately from live game tickets. Public test account creation is disabled.

Dynamis has its own database and game services, with CPU and memory limits to protect live Titan. Updates can be checked there before a separate production rollout; nothing automatically promotes from test to live. Website shops, live market history and companion records are not mirrored, so tests involving them need separate preparation.

Launcher 1.5.99 and its installer are Microsoft Artifact Signed. Installation tests preserved existing settings, and server tests verified all four approved logins, rejected reused tickets and blocked unauthorized access. A full in-game entry, zoning and gameplay check remains for the invited testers. Titan game services were not restarted.
