WoW Forever Beta Patch Notes (October 1)

Today, we updated the WoW Forever Beta with a new build that includes the following.

CHANGE LOG

Bug Fixes

Improved rain visibility.

Removed the ‘Ray Traced Shadows’ option. This setting will be re-added to the game in a future update, after the functionality is fixed.

Fixed an issue where the Night Watchman’s Torch was causing some unintended lag in certain situations and could not be cancelled.

The visual size of weapons when held in hand and sheathed on the back has been adjusted across all races to be more consistent.

Dungeons they add or open: Excavation Site (26-31), Razorfen Downs (25+), Uldaman (30+)
