A major stability and infrastructure update is now available for the Realms of Itheria Main HUD.

Migrated the Main HUD’s backend requests to the new shared HTTP Manager system.
Improved request prioritization and coordination across HUD systems.
Reduced the risk of Second Life HTTP throttling during sustained gameplay.
Improved sustained Feeding request handling.
Adjusted Feeding to use fewer HTTP requests while maintaining the intended gameplay rate.
Improved HTTP permit handling and recovery from stalled requests.

Additional systems migrated to the shared HTTP Manager include:

Fixed the Weapons menu failing to open.
Fixed stale weapon request states that could leave the Weapons button unresponsive.
Fixed weapon attacks failing due to missing parcel information.
Weapon attacks now correctly identify attacker and target parcels for safe-zone validation.
Confirmed Weapons XP progression is functioning correctly.
Improved combat request reliability while other HUD systems are actively communicating with the server.

Fixed Short Rest and Long Rest buttons failing to respond.
Improved Camp request handling through the shared HTTP system.
Confirmed Short Rest progression and character synchronization are functioning correctly.

Improved sustained Feeding stability.
Fixed Feeding failing to automatically stop when an Unawakened target reaches 100% Astral or Umbral influence.
Fixed Feeding failing to automatically stop when a Human reaches 100% Astral or Umbral influence.
Added more reliable completion detection using server completion flags and alignment values.
Humans now receive the correct Fully Astral or Fully Umbral completion message instead of being incorrectly reported as drained of Ichor.

Fixed the Abilities menu becoming unavailable while Feeding.
Fixed compact resource updates overwriting full cached character data.
Creator Tools now remain available while active resource updates are being received.

- Affiliations
- Titles
- Other character information
