ImpulZ

The servers have been taken offline, closing the topic.

As we announced last week, we plan to bring the build into submission this week, with the release planned for the end of the month. So far everything looks okay in that schedule:

Hello Xbox Survivors! We have a small hotfix coming live, focusing on the current issues with scopes. We are aware of the remaining issues on Xbox and the team is continuing to provide fixes in combination with the next major platform update, which will be a combination of the 1.03 and 1.04 update. The release for this update is scheduled for later this month. Patchnotes GAME FIXED Fixed: Certain scopes were rendering grey.

The server should be up and running.

Removed some trolling and personal arguments. Closing on request.

We confirmed with our server provider and it appears that two server machines had a technical issue and had to be shut down. We decided to reduce the total server number under these circumstances, so that regretfully we will not bring them back online.

We are always looking for new talents 🙂 https://careers.bohemia.net/open-application

Sadly console test servers will not be an option, as it would again complicate the process on our side with additional submissions that have to be made (which again requires more time from our QA), and servers that need to be maintained.

Please send us the server name, so that we can look into it.

Not that easy to answer. First of all it's crucial to understand that DayZ is a very deep game (meaning lots of content and features that are all connected in some way in a persistent environment), and the port to console brought a new amount of complexity to our entire development and QA testing. So certain issues are appearing on both versions, some are only easier to reproduce on console, some are console specific (such as this specific issue, which is caused by the console inventory). It might be worth to mention at this point that our QA department is not consisting of hundreds of testers that play DayZ 24/7, but rather a dozen people, some of them part-timers, that have to test not only the current live version, but also every new fix, content, feature etc that comes to the game. This team is split over PC and consoles (both Xbox and PS4). While they are highly dedicated, it's just important to understand how much resources "proper testing" for a game with the depth of DayZ would require. Still, we took the challenge head on, and unfortunately the initial results for the console versions showed a lot of issues that we haven't been able to fix in the past months, and delays are still bound to happen. With 1.04 we are looking forward to some major fixes and changes around those exploits plaguing the game. Our QA is testing the new version as we speak to the best of their abilities, but there will always be the chance that certain issues make it back in the game. I hope that helped a bit.

We are aware of an issue like that and the team is looking into it.

That would be DayZ NL 3664704 (Public) - Hosted by Multiplay.com, it had a couple of issues in the past hours, but should now be up and running again. 🙂

Hello Xbox Survivors! Today's game update (1.02.151527) was released unintentionally. In the now published version we tried to optimise the frame-rate, but an issue with scopes stopped us from releasing it originally. EDIT: The servers have now been updated to the new version, to allow you to play. We will release a new update to fix the scope issue as soon as possible. We apologise for the inconvenience. This update is only a hotfix for the current version 1.02 (with the mentioned issue), no changes to the game itself have been included.

GAME FIXED Fixed: 6-M7 Grenade did no damage (T141844) TWEAKED Tweaked: 100 new player spawn points for server hopping (all with positioned away from the coast) Tweaked: Global lighting config (changed the thresholds, toned down the blue during overcast dusk and dawn, desaturated the cloud textures) Tweaked: Lowered damage from all surfaces to the shoes (damage constant lowered to about 1/3 of previous value) Tweaked: footDamage parameters tweaked for object (roadway) surfaces Tweaked: Durability of shoes (damage system hit-points of shoes) Tweaked: Epinephrine provides a complete stamina refill for 60s (formerly just a one time boost)

Just a warning at this point, as you already went for denunciation and now uninformed claims. We understand frustration about persistent issues in the game, but please stick to our guidelines for the forums. To clear that up a bit: The test with the 150 player server was, as described in the accompanying tweet, a test for hardware performance. And just because a server is able to run 150 players does not mean we will increase every single server to 150 players, as there's obviously way more to consider on that. The test was just to see the performance of specific server hardware (our second hardware performance test was using only 60 slot servers btw). Our team is working on the known issues of duping, meatballing, frame drops, and ghosting, while porting the new content and features from PC to consoles. Those are our priorities.

Sorry for the delay on this, you can read and discuss the full statement here: (Closing the topic)

Just to clarify, the new spawn points are still close to the coast, mostly in forest areas. Even if some are close to certain military road blocks or police stations, the same goes for the regular coastal spawns. And considering the number of respawn points, you will statistically spend a long time hopping just to get an "advantageous" spawn point. 😉 Also, this is still the first public iteration, and especially console feedback will decide how we continue with this down the line, as the public hive is the current standard there. The issues mentioned above have been noted and will be given to our QA. 🙂

Hello Survivors! The fourth Platform Update of DayZ on PC is now live (both the client and server files). DayZ 1.04 brings you an expansion on the disease system and gives purpose to several medical items.

KA-101 The KA-101 is a selective-fire assault rifle, fed from a detachable magazine. This is an export version of the modernized KA-74M with compatible attachments. It uses 5.56x45mm rounds. New & improved weapon attachments Regular and tracer variants of the 5.45x39mm ammunition P1-87-L Scope Other Infected Infected can now spawn with headgear and other attachments Actions Players can now throw items (hold 'G' to activate throwing stance) Inventory Independent shoulders allow you to carry two melee weapons or firearms Medical Additions Fever Effects and balancing for Epinephrine, Codeine Pills, Morphine, and Charcoal Tablets Shoes gradually wear off while using Check Pulse action now displays blood pressure and pulse type if irregular Patchnotes Notes Server Admins: Please read the changes on the player spawn points in the "Server" section below to avoid complications!
