Patch 2.45.3.3 to the Kingdom Reborn Beta Client will be deployed at 2:30 PDT (9:30 GMT) on Friday, June 15th . This patch contains the following changes:

Changes:

• If your system does not have a video card capable of hardware Transform and Lighting, you will get a popup asking if you would like to run that feature via software. This will allow you to run KR, though with significantly reduced performance.
• improved player pathing (walking around objects)
• mana and skill requirements now show up on spell icon tooltips
• Character Profiles are now available as a tab on the paperdoll
• Added “sitting” animation (Known Issues: there are still some clipping issues with sitting * we're on it.)
• Chat windows are now resizable
• Added a chat help button
• Improved performance on some lower-end video cards
• Added a “legacy keybinding” button to the user preferences – you can now reset your keybindings to either KR default or 2D default
• Health, mana and stamina now show numerically on the player stat mini-bar. There is a setting in the options menu to change whether the numbers always display or only on mouseover
• “Stones” is back!
• Added a number of particle effects to various actions and objects
• The macro icon window should now close automatically when the macro window closes
• At the end of the tutorial when the player character reaches the New Haven town entrance,Gwen will add a radar waypoint to the appropriate guildmaster for the player character. If the character is a custom/advanced character, Sir Helper will be highlighted instead.
• NPC vendor gump displays the player’s available gold at the bottom of the gump
• Mob health bars should be larger and easier to manipulate
• Added 4 new macro actions

• Cursor Target Self (when you have a target cursor and you use this action, it will select yourself)
• Cursor Target Last (when you have a target cursor and you use this action, it will select the last thing you selected with a target cursor)
