Overlord

6.3.23

Sync convergence, login map truth, and event performance

Fixed

• Capital capture catch-up: A fresh ZA snapshot with a newer capturedTime can now confirm a capital that was stuck as in_progress after the observer missed C, ZS captured, or TV.
• Login map truth: Zones restored from SavedVariables now render as provisional sync state on the world map until the first network snapshot confirms them, instead of looking like final ownership.
• Community target coverage: Community whispers now rotate targets for normal sends as well as critical sends, improving cross-faction recovery without increasing the per-send cap.
• Guild keep network budget: GC, forced GK, WB, and one-hop guild keep relays now use smaller bounded target sets to avoid large whisper bursts during mass events.
• SR leaderboard recovery: Large-event SR responses keep the highest rows but rotate additional LK and LC rows so non-top players eventually converge for display and export.
• Leaderboard capture guard: LC now uses the same local alt-realm rejection guard as synced kill metadata, avoiding same-name cross-realm pollution.
• Official capturer in SR: ZS in_progress snapshots sent as SR replies only name the local player when this client has local hold authority.

Performance

• Removed the extra ZS payload parse and string.format allocation in the hot receive path.
• World map path updates now recolor existing dotted paths when only ownership changes, instead of rebuilding geometry every content refresh.
• The capture HUD active-zone cache no longer allocates a formatted position string every tick.

Unchanged

• C and ZS captured remain critical on the primary channel/group path.
• Minimap polling and minimap update intervals are unchanged.
• BNet outbound remains disabled and observer clients still do not locally promote captures without network proof.

Recommended after updating

• /reload after updating.
• If the map still looks stale after login, wait for the sync banner to clear or run /ov sync.
