Known Issues

These are known technical issues with the Shadowbane Emulator. All are well-documented errors that can be reliably reproduced.

If you have discovered a new bug or error not listed here, please help us by reporting it here.

Please note that is a violation of the rules to exploit bug to gain an advantage in the game.

Fixable Bugs

Please contact a staff member if you experience one of these issues. They will be handled on a case-by-case basis until full fixes are implemented.

• Tree of Life does not flatten land around it after placement ("terraform")
• Tree of Life is under water after placement
• Abandoning and re-claiming a tree of life can cause issues with shrines and mine claims.

General Bugs

Note: this list is not exhaustive.

• Deleting a character and then re-making one with the same name in a short time frame can cause the second character to become bugged. If you delete a character, please wait one hour before remaking a new one with the same name. Current workaround prevents players from reusing names.
• Human LA and Tailor (and some other races) cannot add the stamina prefix to boots via formula crafting.

• Innkeepers do not function.
