Obviously a minimal patch since I would imagine all hands are working feverishly on the latest expansion. I'm a little spooked by the continued tweaking on graphics memory usage. Time will tell!
 
Interesting to see they included.....

- Converted the Claim Window to the new UI.


I'm sure many of us, months ago, turned off the new UI because of things like bags and inventory page foreground vs background problems.
There may be other reasons for having it off.


Has anyone turned it back on, or are the majority still running with it off?

In my eqclient.ini I've got this:
UseNewUIEbgine=0



Regards and Best Wishes

I hope that isn't what you have in your client file
Unless you are blocking DBGs crappy new UI "Ebgine"

And no, nobody wants it on, it has caused a host of random issues for people and interferes with frame limiter.

framelimiter can't limit the new ui window elements
some mq things rely on the old ui

having the new ui engine turned on is a bad idea imo
