RuneScape: Dragonwilds update 1.002.001 (v1.0.2.1) is now live for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S players. This hotfix is a targeted response to interface instability that emerged following recent updates. The primary change in this version is the temporary removal of the Photo Mode feature to prevent UI errors from affecting the core gameplay experience.
Temporary Removal of Photo Mode
Following reports of significant UI errors linked to the integrated camera settings, the Photo Mode option has been removed from the in-game settings menu while a permanent fix is developed.
- UI Error Resolution: Disabling the mode prevents specific menu overlaps and crashes that were triggered when entering or exiting the camera interface.
- Future Reinstatement: Photo Mode is scheduled to be reinstated in a future update once the underlying stability issues are resolved.
While this removal limits the ability to capture cinematic screenshots without the HUD, it ensures that the inventory and spellcasting menus remain functional during gameplay.
Stability and Performance Improvements
Beyond the interface adjustments, v1.0.2.1 includes general stability fixes and gameplay performance improvements. These changes are designed to improve overall frame rate and reliability.
Players hosting their own games should note that Dedicated Servers must be restarted to apply the v1.0.2.1 changes. Clients and servers must be on the same version to ensure compatibility and prevent connection errors during the login process.
Platform Rollout and Nintendo Switch 2 Delay
While the update is currently active for most console and PC users, the rollout is not universal across all hardware. Nintendo Switch 2 users will receive this fix in a separate update (v1.0.2.2) planned for next week to address both these UI errors and platform-specific needs.
RuneScape: Dragonwilds continues to receive hotfix support to maintain the live service environment. More detailed documentation on version history can be found at PatchBot.
