Illuvium: Arena Update 1.18.1

Overview

This update focuses on improving performance and reliability across the Arena, with targeted improvements to Gauntlet battles, online match interactions, and bot behavior. We have also addressed a few UI and graphics issues to provide a more consistent experience across menus and gameplay.

Gauntlet & Online

Match Reliability

• Improved reliability when joining or spectating matches already in progress.
• Fixed delayed or incorrect player-status updates in the main menu.

Lynx & Progression

• Fixed Lynx ownership issues occurring after switching progression paths in Ranked Gauntlet.

Bot Logic

• Fixed Gauntlet bots occasionally attempting invalid or duplicate shop purchases during fusions.
• Bots now correctly account for the full fusion cost and avoid purchasing Illuvials that have already been consumed by the fusion.

Leaderboards

• Leaderboards now remain accessible when personal statistics temporarily fail to load.

Performance

• Improved main-menu performance for a smoother navigation experience.
• Improved performance across several Gauntlet battle boards.

UI & Graphics

• Arena Points are now hidden when the Event Pass is unavailable.
• Fixed DLSS sharpness settings not being correctly preserved after applying the hardware benchmark.
