RuneScape: Dragonwilds 0.12.0.2 & Investgating Notes (24th June 2026)
RuneScape: Dragonwilds patches localisation issues and tackles a growing list of bugs affecting Umbral Sands.

0.12.0.2 landed yesterday to fix a critical problem: the game wasn't respecting your Steam Client's language settings. Now it does, which means players should stop launching into the wrong language by default.
But the real story here is what the team is still chasing. Tree rendering is borked across the board, and by extension the LOD system that manages draw distance. The studio is targeting a hotfix this week after players reported the issue thoroughly enough to help narrow down the cause. There's also a crash affecting the Splinter skill on Dedicated Servers, turns out it's not just Willow trees causing the problem, which is why it took a second look to identify. Achievement tracking for 99s is also broken; the team wants to let players earn them either by crafting a skill cape or hitting the required level, ensuring nobody gets locked out of progress they've already earned.
0.12.0.3 is deploying today with a batch of smaller fixes: journal entries pointing to the wrong crafting location, vendor reputation requirements not working properly, and UI display bugs that are doubling up quantities on Dedicated Servers. The bigger issues, fishing locations that won't work, Adamant Bolt requirements, and enemy loot drops, are queued for later this week.
Full Patch Notes
✓ FixHello 'Scapers, we're back at it. Another scorching day under the sun, and Umbral Sands is pretty toasty too! Last night we deployed 0.12.0.2 - This patch re-enables localisation support for Steam Clients - the language your Steam Client is in will now automatically inform the game what language to start in.
A quick update from us about what we're investigating, fixing and deploying.
Here's what we're also looking into, with the aim of hotfixing as soon as we have a resolution.
- Big headline is the visual issues around Trees, and by extension HLODs.
- The team are continually investigating this, and your reports have been super helpful. Thank you! Targeting a hotfix this week.
- We are looking at a fix to allow users to earn the achievements for 99s by crafting a skill cape, OR by reaching the required level.
- This should only affect folks who don't already have it, but just a way to guarantee that everyone can achieve it moving forwards.
- We're investigating the Splinter crash on Dedicated Servers - it's not just Willow as we previously highlighted in the blog post below.
- Targeting a hotfix this week.
- We're checking an issue where Status effects remain on screen after the bar has emptied.
- Some crafting/processing stations are disappearing on Dedicated Servers but still leave invisible blocking behind.
- Thanks to everyone reporting this one, we're investigating the cause.
- Targeting a hotfix this week.
As for actions - we're looking to deploy 0.12.0.3, our next patch, today.
Here's what we're targeting for a hotfix as soon as possible:
- Fuel Pellet Journal Entry incorrectly states where you craft it.
- Issue affecting Death Exchange or Evil Emporium vendors requiring reputation from Umbral Sands.
- Notification showing incorrect value of inventory items' stacks at Umbral Sands' Merchants.
- Garou Chit values are incorrectly displayed on inventory items.
- Fixed an issue where Food healing values were incorrectly halved on localised text strings.
- Quantities in the UI popup on the left are doubling up on Dedicated Servers.
- Certain Terrorbird variant consumables unlock the same variants, preventing others from being used.
- "Contact!" and "Mapping the Sands I" show the player receiving two named rewards on the UI instead of one.
Here's what we're targeting for this week (0.12.0.4+ - these might not all be in the same hotfix.)
- Fishing Locations in Fellhollow and Brynmoor are reporting that they cannot be fished in.
- Adamant Bolts require users to have crafted Adamant Arrows first.
- Tok-Xil enemies are not dropping items on death.
- Dedicated Servers: Crafting Stations disappear if the server is restarted.
- Dedicated Servers: Crashes when using the Splinter Skill Spell.
- Wading into Quicksand, and then into water, shows the sand VFX.
We appreciate everyone's patience as we're tracking down causes and fixes as we go. As always, we're checking Reddit, Discord and Steam. Thanks to all of you for being patient, thorough in your reporting and giving us great feedback. We'll be in touch again soon.
