Items showed white square icons

Fix status

0.12.1 fixes some item images appearing as white placeholder squares.

What to do now

Update and restart before clearing any local configuration; the issue is an asset-display fix, not missing inventory.

Close Dragonwilds and update the Steam client.
If the world is dedicated, stop, back up and update the server too.
Confirm the complete client and server version numbers match.
Reload the affected area or interface and retest the exact trigger once.

If the symptom still appears

Do not assume the same cause survived the patch. Record the current version, world type, host/client role, location and exact action that reproduces “items showed white square icons”. A new report with those details is more useful than applying an old workaround or deleting a save.
