FIXED Fixed: Gunter attachments could not be picked up while in crouch or prone stance Fixed: Animations were missing while swapping weapons via quickbar TWEAKED Tweaked: enabled Gunter spawning in the default DayZ Server mission

We've talked at several points about this publicly, for example on our last Xbox Live Streams (Link1 and Link2). We can understand frustration about the current issues. Our team is working hard to resolve issues with duping, server hopping, performance drops/freezes and other issues. Sadly we cannot yet say which of those fixes will be part of a hotfix and which part of the next major platform update. Development is ongoing and we want to improve the game on all platforms.

Thank you for mentioning this, we are looking into it. You should be able to add the new values already in your servers globals.xml file. The NVG should be usable with all non-magnifying scopes. So the Baraka should be usable, the ATOG not. There haven't been any server wipes on official servers during this update. If you encounter further issues with your weapon disappearing from hands during relog, please write a report to our Feedback Tracker. We support servers up to 60 players, we do not guarantee stability for any increase beyond that. We are looking into it. Have you tried deleting your battleye folder in your game files and verifying your game files via Steam?

FIXED Fixed: Client error while inspecting an item in the inventory Fixed: Combination Lock could not be detached after a server restart Fixed: Swapping items via quickbar did not work properly Fixed: Headlights could not be detached Fixed: Various functionality issues with DayZ Tools KNOWN ISSUES Able to switch weapons via quickbar without animations being played

In this specific context it's most likely not about race or ethnicity, but about the location difference and the resulting Ping issues. It is very badly phrased in this kick message, but yes, server owners have the right to restrict access to their servers by password, banlist, whitelist or other means as they like. In this case we assume it's a filter by IP. We recommend to just join a different server, we hope that the newly released Chinese localisation will also create Asian servers that provide less connection issues to its players.

First of all, we are very aware of the current issues on Xbox, especially the duping, ghosting, freezes etc. Our team is working on resolving these issues, but sadly it will still take some time until those fixes will be published. Until then, duped gear has to be stored somewhere. A general higher population on servers makes it also more difficult for dupers to hide their bases. And DayZ is designed as a multiplayer experience, so while there are certainly hotspots and more abandoned areas on the map, DayZ is designed as a Multiplayer experience. Regarding the server locks. This server shift (which we try to avoid, but sometimes there is no alternative to keep players together) is an example why player locks to individual servers would be a problem, as in this case all affected players would completely lose their gear. This way, you can deconstruct your bases and transport your loot to a different server. Yes, it might be a huge amount of effort and sounds harsh, but it is better then having everything wiped without being able to save anything. We are doing our best to announce these changes as soon as possible to give everyone the chance to prepare for it. We apologise for the inconvenience.

Survivors! We have some good news for the Xbox Players among you. Tonight on Inside Xbox, we've announced that our upcoming game update on March 27 will be a big one - and that we will actually be launching the game out of Game Preview! Before we say anything else, we want to thank each and every one of you in the community for your help over the past months. It has been largerly thanks to your help and feedback that our development teams in Bratislava and Prague managed to improve the game in many areas, and we think that the March 27 update truly brings some very good changes towards making the DayZ experience better. We'll tease bits of those changes below, but in case you missed the live show, you want to do something else first. Along with the announcement, we've premiered our Cinematic Trailer called Every Day is a New Story. As you probably know by now, some of the best moments in DayZ happen when you fully immerse yourself into the world of Chernarus and just live in the moment. The precious moment when you really care about what's happening in the game, when your heart is racing because of adrenaline shootout or an emotional, roleplayed interaction with other players. The moment when you're living your own survival story. Our trailer celebrates this unique storytelling feature of DayZ by presenting a cinematic interpretation of one of the stories that can happen to you in the game every day - and also bears a message that even when everything seems lost, there is always something worth fighting for. For those interested, the trailer is of course using DayZ assets, but was made in the Unreal Cinematic Editor with a little help of our friends in the Vigor team - thank you guys! The 1.0 launch update - what's coming And now for the update itself! On March 27, we'll be bringing over all of the changes of the PC 1.01 update - in short, that means persistence fixes, better server performance, improved inventory performance, new weapons and scope, and more! In addition to these, we'll also bring in new things specific to Xbox. There's quite a few of those, so let's just cover the main ones in bullet points: improved rendering performance (should prevent many FPS drops in graphics and audio) optimized inventory performance (improvements in performance when you have a lot of items around you on Xbox) better inventory interaction (changes in UI and better navigation in inventory, bugfixes) new controller layout introducing some missing controls (hold breath, leaning, dodging, better optics interactions...) general improvements to player controls night time improvements We'll bring the full changelog on the day of release, but get ready - it will be a long one! Once again, thank you for your feedback and reporting all issues. While this is an important milestone for DayZ, we'll keep on improving even after the launch and your feedback will still be critical. We already have a year full of updates ahead of us, bringing in new content, things like mouse and keyboard support or going more in depth with some of the core gameplay features. See you all in Chernarus on March 27th - meanwhile, keep your eyes on our social media channels! We will be sharing more.

Just to collect the facts, some have already brought up here: Yes, updates are being released by our developers, we had the 1.02 update in April, 1.03 will follow this month. DayZ currently has (if you leave out our release month) the highest average number of active players since summer 2016.

The issue is known and the team is looking into it. If you have any reliable reproduction steps on the issue, let us know via the Feedback Tracker. 🙂

We are aware that there are currently some issues with finding certain weapons. The team is looking into this and the duping exploits connected to it. On the other point, we are proud of our roots as an unforgiving authentic survival game. We intend to follow that line, while also trying to keep the game accessible for new players. We believe that certain items are supposed to be rare to give value and create rivalry as well as objects of value in the game.

It is the intention of DayZ to make you nervous and anxious about the possibility of other players being nearby. Which does not mean we are against private servers, so that players can try to organise communities to embrace other play stiles.

You can report players via Xbox Live, Bohemia Interactive is not involved in this process. If you know about Duping Exploits, you can submit them with a private bug report to our Feedback Tracker at feedback.bistudio.com. We are aware of the current prevalent exploits and following several relevant channels on it. Our team is looking into the issue and we hope to resolve it as soon as possible.
