[RELEASE] WhisperChat Fix - Services & Wcf Logic

Hey everyone,

Regarding the chat issues mentioned recently, I’ve spent some time digging into the services and I’ve got a fix for the WhisperChat.
After spending several days digging into how the services interact and using Claude-AI to help me refine the code, I’ve finally managed to fix the Whisper chat functionality.
I’ve attached an archive containing the 4 files required for the fix. Inside, you’ll also find two PDF guides (one in Italian, one in English).

What’s inside the guides:

Huge thanks for sharing your files and the server!
I managed to get everything up and running and it plays like a dream. I’d tried some other files before but had a lot of issues with the Crossbow Kai—super glad to see that the Kai is actually fixed in your version!

I also set up the client/server via TailScale, so I’m already playing with some friends remotely.

Just had a quick question about this build:
The only chat that works is "ALL" Whenever I try to use Party or Whisper, the game just completely freezes up on me.

Anyone have a fix for this?

Post in thread 'How change server rate?'

Open heroes db, load FeutureMatrix table, change fields called:
ExpRate_Combat
ExpRate_Monster
ExpRate_Story
GoldRate_Combat
GoldRate_Story
APRate_Combat
APRate_Story

Troubleshooting
  • Enable SQL Server Authentication mode in SSMS (Server Properties > Security)
  • Verify SA password matches config files
  • Enable the SA account: Security > Logins > sa > Properties > Status > Login: Enabled

  • Verify SQL Server service is running
  • Check TCP/IP is enabled in SQL Configuration Manager
  • Confirm port 1433 is set in IPAll

Run the PowerShell commands in Step 8.

  • Verify EndPoint.txt file is configured with LAN/WAN ip
  • Verify hosts file is configured correctly on client
  • Check Windows Firewall isn't blocking connections
  • Confirm IP is correct in all config files

Did you restart server after the change? If both files are changed, in server and client, it should change. Also make sure you are changing the rates of the region you are using (ex: en-eu-x-gm)

Hi ArtykWolf, thank you for the reply!!
I really appreciate it! I've been waiting for something like this for a long time.

I tried downloading the full pack torrent (76GB), but it's been stuck at 0%. I've tried restarting the download a few times with no luck. I also wanted to check.. I noticed this is the EU version, does it include English as well?

I'm planning to use Proxmox to host the VM, if that'll work.

Thanks again!
