Thinks what we had was the flu brought on by the exposure to the cold and wet by swimming to prison island, I haven't seen anyone else on forums contracting yet as most people dont ever swim out there and the rains been turned off or down so not many people have been hypothermic in game. But if anyone's character has started violently sneezing and coughing , did it clear up eventually? I know food poisoning from over eating/drinking dirty water, uncooked food clears up after thirty minutes of less but this flu persisted for well over an hour even after the others with sickness left it didn't clear up .

Yep unless there redce the gamma filters effect by 75% or just totally remove it then night time will be unplayeable, if nights weren't bugged and lasted more than 5minutes the servers would empty , even more so than usual at night. Even with my contrast, brightness & saturation turned way way down all I can see still is the screen overlay . Gamma crankng isn't as easily abused on console anyway as most TVs don't even have a gamma setting, it's really sucked for me as no matter what setting I use it completely unplayeable at night. Literally can't see anything even when setting are so low it's pitch black, I turn on a torch and lo & behold all I see is a circle of torch light filled with the overlay pattern.

I've noticed weapons jam now if damaged, on pc you can unjam them with button pushes but how do we do this on console?

Yep since update before last I've been aiming down sights and then pressing Y as that was the only way I could get most guns to reload but couldn't swap no next quick wheel slot at all from one gun to another . Seems like all the double tap Y, hold Y & tap Y are suffering from overlap & the game doesn't know what's what lol. Can be a pain when you wanna quick switch to a silenced pistol to deal with infected and had to open quick wheel instead of just holding Y To switch to next slot instantly.Hopefully it'll get fixed, I try to remain positive but it seems with every good thing we get in an update ten others get messed up or rolled back. We get better frames and rendering , but lose chlorine tabs working, gamma overlay nighttime hell, and quick slot/reload f*ckery. Lol oh and the classic adding jamming whilst there's no unjam function & still no hold breath, melee dodge or lean . Time for this survivor to take a months break before the game breaks me ;)

Yep yeti bum , devs posted it's was activated with this patch purposefully for console and didn't mention it was bugged , he said try changing TV settings . Doesn't matter what I do to to settings it's still unplayeable

The grainy effect onscreen at night is the gamma abuse overlay designed to stop people cranking there contrast/gamma/brightness up. I've asked and many others if it's been added purposefully for console, it has. Night time is now impossible for me as even when turning my brightness down to lowest setting all I can see is the grain effect & day time looks like night time lol. Guess I'll be jumping of every server at night now, is anyone else having this issue? I have a cheap TV and used it on the game setting to increase refresh rates but in order to reduce brightness I've has to switch that off to begin with. But I gave up tweaking settings and just turned it back on & left night all together. Sucks as I enjoyed playing at night and now it's not an option.

Great I have to turn my brightness down too 5 in order to play at night , but then it looksike night durin the day too, and can't have my TV set to game to reduce latency and increase refresh rate. Great work BI guess I'll be jumping off night servers permanently forever now. Why would you use the gamma overlay on console? The vast majority of users don't even have access to gamma settings on there television. Just put a symbol on the servers for night and day already, the majority if people jumped of a server at night anyway. I was one of the few people who would hang in there at night but now that's not gonna happen. GG

Yep, let breaks aren't implemented yet but has traditionally been an integral part of all previous dayz mods, it'll be worked back in post 1.0 release I believe, the splint was tested as a craftable item and the morphine auto injectors are also intended to be used for fixing a broken leg. I'm assuming that's why the bear traps are weak ATM as there more designed to immobalise rather than kill.

Yep think they've reduced server again whilst they did the reset yesterday. Only 63 servers in EU I noticed earlier, but this update has brought so much stability, frames, etc im not surprised to see players returning . Also think of all the people who don't have a clue how to use the server filter or are simply jumping in the lowest pop server using filter at the same time as they prefer low pop, but because they can't see the pop it's fills up instantly lol. Try a server that maybe 10-20 slots down on slots descending , you may get better results

Set server filter to slot descending and refresh the server list, populations still won't show up but the server at the top will be the lowest population & all servers going down will be incrementally more populated. Hope this helps

Ahh yep electro is the largest most dense town in the game though to be fair, before the update every town bigger than a tiny village was that way but to say they've fixed everywhere except electro and maybe Zelenogorsk (both very large cities densely built up) I'd say they've done a pretty good job overall. I fell you though dude, low frames and rendering issues are painful in the least but in just over a week they've greatly improved that issue and others.fingers crossed this kind of improvement continues.

Saw literally 8 zombies beating one wolf trapped in a corner at Gorka , they must have hit it about 100times between them and it just wiggled free as ran off. I ain't messing with wolves this update ;) , but tbh I did double tap on with a 45.cal pistol so who knows what's what lol.

You sure In on xbox one too & berezino, cherno etc are fine for me now. What town were you in? I get the sound delay bug occasionally but the buildings are actually rendered in for me everywhere now.

Nope gotta switch from party to game chat in order to speak in game . You speak in game by double tapping down on D-Pad to lock open mike, and double tap again to close. Hope this helps

@ImpulZ It's the anti gamma abuse overlay designed for PC, people crank there gamma on there gaming monitor in order to be able to see clearly at night time, so they created an overlay only visible once the gamma cranked high in order to discourage this behaviour. My assumption is that this was carried over from the PC port of there current stable build into out update accidentally. The majority of console players are not using a monitor but a standard television set with no gamma options just brightness, even with my brightness set below default it's impossible to see throught the multicoloured grainy overlay. It'd be great if a dev or community manager could let us know if this was an intentional addition or an accidental occurrence. Thanks in advance for any response.

Yes duct tape now fixes suppressors so remember to check there status after every few rounds. Pistol suppressor last maybe three or four magazines & AR suppressors last a magazine or two max.

You couldn't pre patch but maybe you can now, I'll set up my handy dandy yeti science kit and get back to you ;)

So I'm assuming that the anti gamma a use filter a fix accidentally made it's way from the PC update to the console update then. As soon as it starts to get dark the overlay pops up and makes the screen so grainy it's impossible to see anything. Most console users don't even use gaming monitors or PC monitor adapters so gamma abuse isn't really an issue, plus I'm using a standard TV and the brightness settings are on default and I can't see anything now at night, I can barely tell it's night. Just looks like someone poured salt all over my screen. Guess that's even more people emptying out of night servers then further promoting hopping.

Load game , walk five metres. Game freezes & have to reset lol. But I could hear zombies and my gun shots so that's definitely fixed. Nice update and aslong as a few freezes and crashes have been ironed out it's all gravy

No population count showing on the server screen no matter what filter I set it too. It's rearranging them as I change filter though but just not showing the actual population.

Not all based are unfortunately, already had a few friends & fellow survivors report there tents, barrels etc are wiped by there vehicles have remained. But if yours has remained good sir, then congratulations, hopefully the majority of peoples has remained also.

Heard here's new HUD elements now guys, who's got the skinny in what new icons mean?

Also if your new to the game or DayZ in general then Rule number 1 of DayZ is, DO NOT carry your weapon in hands unless in combat or when faced with another random player with a weapon in hand. It's a general rule that there is no honour lost killing a player actively carrying a gun in hands, it has worked this way since the mod days. Even players who role play as hero's will assume your hostile and KOS, if you equip your gun to your back or even better leave space in your bag people will treat you as less of a threat. If you use your top most quick slot and equip your gun to that , you can simply tap Y and this will auto draw said gun so it leaves you at no disadvantage as the draw time is almost instant. Also any military zone or police station is seen as an accepted PvP Zone so expect to kill and be killed on sight in those areas. Nobody goes there to make friends, so don't throw away your life and be overly trusting In these areas. I hope this helps those players who feel they are unfairly killed frequently, put that gun away and always have a microphone plugged in as many players will kill people who don't communicate there intentions. Double tap down on dpad to open mic and let them know your friendly and not a threat. hope to see you out in the wasteland courtesy of an I.G.B clan member

Also weapons can now be fixed with duct tape as well as mags not just weapon repair kits. also If your inventory bugs and you can't scroll down but can scroll up past equipment bar and to the container you want , then take equipment slot weapon to hands and back to equipment slot again & voila you will now be able to scroll down again.

Spray paint currently isn't in this build of the game unfortunately. If your wanting to change make a Ghillie suit greener rather than straw coloured then drop it and shoot it with a low calibre weapon like an IJ Pistol, when partially damaged it's colour model changes like other clothing. Doesn't work with Ghillie wraps though as a single pistol round will ruin them. hope this helps, also in regards to motor oil. A car will take up-to four cans of oil when spawned for it to function at highest ability. Which admittedly is still lacking in general lol.
