Patch Notes - 2026-02-20 (FPS Fix & Fine Performance Tuning)

February 20, 2026

Recently, many of you have been struggling with massive FPS drops during Super Boss events, no matter how powerful your rig is. This nasty regression appeared a few weeks ago, and hunting it down was tougher than expected (you may wonder why we had the regression... you’ll find out in the coming months...). The good news is that it’s finally fixed! For more details please see: https://forum.roseonlinegame.com/topic/7586-patch-notes-2026-02-20-fps-fix-fine-performance-tuning/

Patch Notes - 2026-01-30 (Game Balance Update)

January 30, 2026

This change is the result of extensive internal discussions and community feedback regarding maximum stats and the overall power level of Gems. In their previous form, Gems were significantly underpowered compared to maximum stats. Given the effort required to obtain both, crafting Gems felt unrewarding for most players, with only a few exceptions worth pursuing. This shifted the endgame meta heavily toward dungeons for stat progression, leaving the Artisan in an awkward position.
