Top Issues Being Investigated

The team are investigating an issue where using Splinter or cutting Willow Trees into logs is causing a crash on Dedicated Servers.

Achievements will NOT unlock retroactively.
If the player cuts down a tree with one axe swing, they will not unlock the Achievement "Chop Chop".
There are two greyed-out flying carpet mounts which cannot be unlocked.
If the player unlocks a new mount skin before they acquire a Terrorbird mount from completing The Wild Hunt quest, they will have a defunct "mount" prompt on their HUD until the quest is completed.
There is a short delay where players can be attacked on first login (~3-5 seconds).
Four of the Terrorbird mount drops all unlock the same variant of Terrorbird mount, we are investigating a fix.
Rune count is visible when equipping the Vestige Staff from Umbral Sands.
There is no video for the spell 'Trunk Totem' in the spell book.
Items
There are a few instances of "Hard Leather" situated in loot chests in Umbral Sands which are now defunct and do not merge into recipes.
UI
Scrolling down the skills page requires manual input (no hold action) for controllers.
The Fuzan Shield displays the incorrect icon in some places.
Fire Cape vestige reward drop in the right side of the screen shows an incorrect icon.
Input glyphs disappear from the dialogue UI if the player switches control method when starting the interaction.

Dedicated Server-Specific Issues
These issues are only currently replicated in Dedicated Servers.

Lightning can strike players in their own bases despite being sheltered in some instances. Bendy lightning!
World/Environment
Trees are "blooming" or distorting when approached - the team are investigating a cause but are currently unable to reproduce the bug on either AMD or Nvidia hardware, but we have seen reports from both.
Audio
Creating three Trunk Totems then harvesting them will cause the third to not be able to be harvested.
This will also cause the audio to persist.
