OK... I saw the notice now... 😐

I checked the Battlemetrics graphs of various servers I keep an eye on and it seems they all went offline shortly after 08:00 GMT.
I can't find one that's working at the moment.
If it was an update they would have warned earlier, I think...
I hope they'll be back up and running in the morning. 🙁

Me too about 15-20 minutes ago.

Is it just me or are all official servers offline? With both the game launcher and DZSA, I have all official servers offline... 😯

Issue Report: Barrel Noise and Lid Animation Bug in Vehicles Description: Since the recent update, an issue has emerged with barrels transported in trucks. The barrels produce persistent noise even when emptied, and upon removal from the vehicle, the lid's open/close animation loops until the barrel is dropped on the ground. Troubleshooting Attempts: I’ve attempted various troubleshooting measures without success. The only temporary workaround identified is to revert to the pre-update barrel code. Request: Could you please revert the specific code responsible for barrel behavior, or provide a fix to ensure that barrels in trucks are silent when empty, and that the lid animation behaves as intended upon removal? Thank you!    

I would have loved to have seen a warning of sorts with the new update - its not too late to add one. How do we condone "hidden camera" content from streamers like Smoke and TRMZ, who I'd consider ambassadors for the game. There is no justification for denying being a streamer while broadcasting to thousands.

Yeah it’s kinda close but they have different purposes the sawn off in the game is mostly for players who want .357 power, but also don’t want jams or a bulky gun   The revolver I’m suggesting would be more like the Ij70 or bk12, because you pick it up on the coast to defend yourself, but you’ll drop it for something better like a mlock or a deagle. 
  ppl I’ve played with hate the ij70 because .380 is weak, so a .45 fresh spawn gun could hopefully get rid of the excuse: ”I died to a fresh spawn with a knife because .380 is too weak” ( I saw him miss every single shot and then try to go prone to hide)

I agree and hate the changes. There's been a shift in the opinion and brown nosing of the devs and their decisions (for lack of a better term), for the past 4 years. I think everyone who liked the game for what it was has given up on it and left, leaving only those who will just bend over and take the changes and bitch at others resisting it.  I haven't agreed with a majority of the changes since "release" of 1.0. I like the control system (hated it at first) and eating while moving. The other crap including status indicators I dislike. I also dislike the stamina system when there isn't a viable attainable mode of transportation. Many of these changes I've disagreed with were made in the name of realism and that's how it's been defended.    I dislike that they resized items several years ago to make items unrealistically huge, now they've made inventory space unrealistically small. With the exception of a few items like putting an M4 in your smallish backpack, that was unrealistic.  But I keep playing despite all of this bullshit, because there is still nothing else like it. Deadside is catching up, but still not even close.    The day a dayz killer comes along that strikes the balance of survival and the "fun" factor of playability; I'll drop this game and move on. But it hasn't happened in over a decade. 

I've read that they have increased the draw distance so the new "poor" setting is what used to be "medium" for example. So yeah that might be felt across all maps.    Hopefully they resolve this quickly. Really like Sakhal but it's almost unplayable for me.    I really thought it looked stupid, but it is an actual challenge that requires a little thinking. It's definitely a struggle to stay warm and find enough food. But I've not died of starvation yet even though the forums and youtubers talk about how veteran players will be dying a lot at first. It's really not THAT bad. Just need to utilize some of the crafting recipes and be smart (rags are easy to get, knives are not - use improvised hand wraps to gather and break sticks rather than burning up knives, for example).  I will say that not having hunting stands sucks for finding that loot and as a getaway from bears and wolves. 

Having issues in which locks (Codelock and combination) on doors disappear after my server restart.   Not sure why.   Extended the lifetime of the items in the types file to 3888000.. So would expect them to remain.  Any ideas to why this is happening?
