• Black box sea monster maps no longer dust prematurely.
• Blockades that cross over a server reboot will now resume 5 minutes after the reboot rather than getting stuck indefinitely.

Ice Release 2025-12-26

Ice Release 2025-11-29

• Fix a bug that allowed changing oceans while waiting for Steam auto-login.
• Keep the blockade notice board time displays up to date, so you no longer need to close and re-open it to see accurate time remaining.
• Announce blockade round starts the same as blockade starts, making it easier for players to know when they can re-enter.
• Add a confirm dialog when closing the client. This can be disabled from the dialog itself or enabled from the general settings tab.
• Show player disconnects to the whole vessel, not just the same scene.
• Display a different color bubble for any shop you own or manage when viewing the island map. This does not apply to stalls, which are already highlighted differently.
• Update fray messages to include enemy count even when there is just one challenger.
• Add familiar display settings: Top, secret, and sort order.
• Treasure drop is now droppable again.
• Trophy page boxes can now be added as usual.

Release 2025-09-26 We are testing out a new version of Ice that automatically installs a new version of Java when it launches. Please provide feedback on any issues you encounter, either on Discord or with a bug report. Thank you! Release 2025-06-23 Adding two new test swords to the Palace Shoppe, with drop patterns suggested by players:

• Test Sword #51 - Claymore revision 1
• Test Sword #52 - Claymore revision 2

Release 2025-05-30

The following requests from Discord have now been implemented:

• Added a ton of new options for Crew Titles to choose from
• Added a Flotilla chat mode, similar to the Blockade chat mode
• Increased the size and quality of Portrait previews. The largest portrait previews will still be scaled down a bit, in order to better fit inside the panel.
• The sky color will now change when Ghosts are roaming an island, similar to other monsters
• Vessel auto-targeting will now default to OFF
• All building managers will be cleared whenever a deed changes hands
• The Vampire doll and Mother O'Nyght doll will now correctly be listed under "Dolls" instead of "Odds & Ends"
• Removed garlic amulet from the Palace Shoppe, since it's already in the trading post for trinket trade in
• The furniture section of the inventory panel will now be divided into subgroups. This will be an ongoing work-in-progress as we update the sorting criteria for our many different types of furniture items.

Thank you for your testing and feedback!

Release 2025-05-06

Test sword 49 is now available in the Palace Shoppe for testing and feedback. This is a suggested buff to test sword 41's drop pattern.
