Hey guys,
Alongside yesterday’s update to HD mode, some highly requested bug fixes have been implemented — particularly the trading and bank bug fixes which affected some players negatively. Lastly, a few new pieces of content, such as Broadcasts and the Corporeal beast instance are now available!
We’re still working hard on Construction, but we figured some time off that to fix some bugs and provide a bit of new content wouldn’t hurt. Enjoy!

- When trading a stackable item that would go over the max amount that the other player has, sometimes it would not count the other player’s amount properly.
- Eg. If you were trying to trade 2b GP to another player who already had 2b, the extra gp would simply disappear.
- This is now checked for on the first trade screen, and if the amount would go over the maximum of 2.147m, it would not allow the trade to go through.
- Eg. If you were trying to trade 2b GP to another player who already had 2b, the extra gp would simply disappear.

- Ground texture support on HD:
- HD is now more like 2008 RuneScape’s original HD release, with texture support for the ground (grass, stone pavement, etc) to give it a more high-definition feel. We were able to export these textures from the original HD release on RS in 2008 to match it perfectly.
- As some people have gotten used to the previous HD, we’ve added this as a toggle which is enabled by default, but can be changed by typing in ::textures while in HD mode. This toggle also saves so that you don’t need to keep modifying it every time you restart your client.

- Ground blending support on HD:
- The texture support wouldn’t look right if the textures didn’t blend into each other, which is why we’ve added support for ground blending!
