Pending Changelog: Experimental Branch: 0.42.116002

[Snowball (DayZ) 115]

I had it as well. Bad desync, rubberbanding, button lag, all that shit. Even got to the point where I couldn't even use "fire" command anymore so I was defenseless. Hope that's solved when I start the game again tomorrow :/

They don't work on the weekends. I would assume that they will have to patch this on Wednesday with the stable release. It is very strange that they would even bother to put out a patch like this.

 

 

I haven't experienced any bad desync/rubber-banding as of yet. From time to time the hotkeys weren't exactly quick to respond but that's about it.

I have tried 5 different servers with all 20-40 pings and it has been happening nonstop for my friends and I. Full and empty servers. It has to do with the guaranteed message tweak they applied. This was something that was possible with DayZ mod and interestingly enough when it was tweaked in the wrong way the SAME results occurred.

Ah, got it. So it probably has to do with the fact that you're near your buddies.

I stayed on after and was on before my buddies were on and I noticed doors taking several seconds to open and rubber banding. I also saw someone about 200-400 meters from me rubber banding, running in place, etc. If it is the same issue that occurs when you incorrectly tweak the guaranteed packets setting, which is possible because arma 2/arma 3/dayz engines are basically similar, then it will be occuring to everyone and will be progressively worse as a server fills up. You may not be noticing it simply because you haven't seen others glitching around.

Hmmm ok. Played a solid hour and a half with no major issues on a hardcore server (20-30 players) but I'll try and hop on again later.

Man I actually had to log in again just to rant.

Whats wrong with all those kids and adults with lacking logic of cognition. How come they can't grasp how game developing is done.

For me its quite simple to understand that only because we don't see much difference between 0.37 and 0.42 doesn't mean there is none.

There are most likely dozens of changes that are currently inactive because they are not finished. For example physics, hunting, cooking and persistent storage mechanics.

Its not like they'll add all of those things once they've finished them, nope. They are already in this builds but unfinished or inactive due to other problems or bugs or whatever reason there might be.

 

Man I wish they would put up an IQ test or something like that for Alpha releases to prevent all this bullshit people state online. It's really annoying and embarrassing how stupid people behave.

 

And to all those complaining about desync or lags. Remember a lot of people are currently rushing the experimental servers, those problems might be related to that rather then the build itself. 

 

@ Dean, Hicks and all the others working on this, keep up the good work and do your best to make this game even greater!

Thought this was coming out today?! 

[Ellen Ripley 71]

Can I set my patch update to 0.37 instead of 0.42, since that is what I apparently happened to download?

 

No you can only choose between 0.35 stable or 0.42 Experimental now.

 

Thought this was coming out today?! 

Nope. Has been delayed.

They want to fix 2 bugs related to players/zombies being invisible to some clients before pushing 0.37 to stable branch.

Its not about IQs. Why release a patch which is obviously broken? It should leave internal testing if it is working well. Just because it is in development and is an alpha doesn't mean they can push garbage.

<Snip>, they lied, I was fucking excited, now have too wait until Wednesday! WTF?! They would mess it up, Riot! WTF. How about fix performance and deysnc..

[Super_Duty 466]

Pull pin, count to ten, problem solved... No, wait, that's a different game.  For this one you should always carry disinfectant for those special occasions.

 

Whoa whoa whoa wait a second.. What do we do now when we fall through stairs and get glitched in a wall with a broken leg from falling?

See you are complaining about problems on the EXPERIMENTAL branch.

I simply can't understand how anyone can complain about anything thats happening on there. Its purely for a larger scaled testing purpose.

Thats how they collect data about their changes and how they behave in a real case. Its not for us End-users to enjoy! Obviously thats what you don't understand. If you can't stand it please for everyones sake don't use the experimental branch.

They did not lie. There is a difference between a lie and a statement one could not fulfill due to unforseen problems.

This in an Alpha as stated billions of times, performance fixing is not a relevant/priority part of alpha builds.

If you can't stand the current builds or perfromance please do not play. And stop complaining. You have been warned several times before buying the Early Access. Even Dean said NOT TO BUY IT YET. Stop complaining like a child.

Make the new items, zombies spawn w/o using players CPU's!!!!!!!

[Super_Duty 466]

Sorry dude, but you must have missed the dev. blog stating that quantum physics and molecular regeneration attributes are a couple patches out yet.  Apparently right after the law of conservative energy is hacked and implemented to support such things.

If items get wet with the rain, shouldn't they add camp fires so we can dry it? :P

[Arrrrrgh 8]

Waiting for 1 Month. Now Version 0.42 is the same as 0.37.

The differenz between 0.35 and 0.37 was big. Differenz between 0.37 and 0.42 is nothing! Could be renamed to 0.38. Tzzz

[hypermoon 75]

What are the changes exactly? I have seen a few of them already like different ammo. But is there a changlog somewhere? What changed?
