Frequently hotfixes making the game unplayable.

[Xianyu 820]

Yeah' date=' he can stop rolling out hotfixes when he, you know, stops BREAKING SHIT.

1.7.1.2, broke the food and water spawning. Game unplayable due to slow, grim death and food wars.

1.7.1.3, Game unplayable due to server restarts constantly happening because of a bug with the new melee weapons.

1.7.1.4, game unplayable due to zombies all being injected with speed, meth, and adrenaline before being turned into zombies, causing them to sprint at the sound of a twig snapping two miles away.

And now, we wait to see what 1.7.1.5 broke.

Unplayable ? 1.7.14 ? really ? Issues yes, but as me and my mate sit at the military camp outside of Balota on one of the US expert servers with Coyote backpacks, an M24, m16, ak74 kobra, bloodpacks, beans bandages, morphine, binocs,maps, matches,water and 60 plus zed kills each..we are finding it far from unplayable..harder yes..unplayable..no.

Well it's a good thing that ALL of us have those things on hand to make the game playable.

I mean, it would suck if the rest of us had to, you know, scavenge around the cities to find supplies.

Patches and hotfixes should be scheduled around OPs play times, as to not inconvenience him. He paid good money for this mod so that he could play it when he wanted............

Right?

Sorry dude , did not explain myself properly :) We spawned as new chars, with none of the above. That is what we looted journeying from Cherno to Balota. 1.7.1.4

And I currently have an M14 with a red dot sight, an M1911, a soemthingorother backpack, food, water, supplies. The lot. But it was an absolute CHORE to get. Even being my sneakiest, it was still utterly impossible to make it through anywhere without being attacked by zombies. I ended up just sprinting and losing them in buildings. No more stealth at all.

If I was in a high population server I wouldn't have even tried.

Please take a break from rolling out new Hotfixes.

It's too frequently right now and makes the game unplayable for the majority of players. Why you ask?

Because a lot (not all' date=' but a lot) Server admins are not updating their servers right after updates hit SixUpdater/Launcher which FORCES us players to use the newest update. Unfortunately, Server admins aren't forced to install new updates in time. So there is no use for having the latest patch when servers still run old versions... for hours and hours.

I mean yeah, now I'm always running the newest patch, thats cool and I like it cause its comfortable, but it's not that cool to be unable to play as it takes around 4, 6 or even 8 hours until at least 70% of the servers are updated. In the meantime those servers that were updated quickly are either being protected or impossible to join due to lack of slots.

I know this is ALPHA status and I'm sure there are also some admins really caring to always update their serv asap. I just think EVERY player would benefit if server updates could be done quicker than they are done right now.

Last 2 days were like this (in CET)

Yesterday:

Played a bit in the afternoon, hotfix 1.7.1.3/4 released on early evening.

Nearly no servers running this for about 6 hours. Unplayable.

Today:

Played a bit in the afternoon, hotfix 1.7.1.5 released in the evening.

Nearly no servers running this for about 4-5 hours. Unplayable, again.

I don't mind if there is 2, 3 or 5 weekly hotfixes as long as they improve the game and performance, and I think they do! But if you plan to release updates that frequently in the future, please look after your server admins to be faster than they are right now. That would be very appreciated.
