Haze Seas v1.00.12 Server Migration Background and Item Safety Notice
v1.00.12 is the major background update behind the current hotfix cycle. It moved part of Haze Seas data processing to the developer server, warned about unrecoverable item loss if players reconnect with an older build after v1.00.12, added item validation, changed Mailbox refresh behavior, and tied Steam Market reopening to server stability.
This is an unofficial player-facing summary of the official June 15 update delay notice. Use the official Steam announcement and the current in-game state as the final source before acting on valuable items.
What Changed?
- Part of the game data processing moved to the developer's server as the first step toward reducing server overload.
- After connecting to v1.00.12, connecting again with an earlier version may result in item loss that cannot be recovered.
- Players launching from another device or location should update the game or verify file integrity before opening the client.
- Some regions, including Russia, may see connection issues while the server provider problem is investigated.
- During the update, items will be checked against Steam item registration data and abnormally generated or invalid items may be deleted.
- If many users connect at once, initial registration may assign a wait time of up to 1 hour.
- Mailbox can now refresh immediately when opened, with the refresh cooldown changed from 10 seconds to 5 seconds.
- Chests owned before the update were moved to Mailbox so players can retrieve them again from there.
Player Impact
- The safest immediate action is to update before logging in and avoid switching between old and new clients.
- Market, chest, Cube, mailbox, and inventory actions should be handled slowly until v1.00.12 server behavior is stable.
- Players should not assume delayed connection or initial registration means an account is broken.
- Suspicious duplicated or invalid items should not be treated as stable market value because the update includes cleanup checks.
- The Steam Market reopening schedule is still tied to server stabilization rather than the v1.00.12 update itself.
What To Do Now
- Update the game client before opening Haze Seas on any PC.
- If you play from multiple locations, verify file integrity before connecting after v1.00.12.
- Do not reconnect with an older build after first connecting to v1.00.12.
- Wait through initial registration instead of repeatedly restarting when the server is crowded.
- Before selling, alchemizing, or upgrading rare gear, confirm the current update state and item details.
