ACE 1.5.3 Patch Notes
8/18/2025By Friends & Fables
Narration
We changed the underlying narration model in ACE 1.5.3 to one that ranks higher in role-play evaluations. In addition, we changed some of our system prompts and workflows. We have NOT changed the models in OOC or Combat. You should notice these changes in narration/conversation modes:
- More engaging narration
- Less tropes
- Less refusals
- Franz now respects custom instructions for message detail and response lengths better
This model is slightly slower, but we think the tradeoff is worth it! Please give it a try, we’ll put out an optional survey in-app tomorrow to collect your feedback!
Quests
- Allows you to mark quest steps completed manually via the UI in the quest tab or in the right hand sidebar
- Franz can now complete quest steps via OOC
Other
- Fixes issue where a roll would come in but the chat window would not automatically scroll down
- Fixes 500 error when looking at world pages
- Fixes issue where lore pages don’t update after saving them
- Fixes issue where private world lore pages would not appear in side bar
