Experimental Branch: 0.45 Discussion

[RagedDrew 209]

Just went to play some more experimental but no servers were online, does anyone know if they were taken down and if so do you know why?

[siIent killer 24]

Yes, for small data update. Hicks tweeted about it.  

''Exp servers are coming down for a small data update.''

 

and he also tweeted

''Experimental servers will be coming back online shortly.''

Ah thanks man, just had a look at the Dev Tracker on here but couldn't find anything, must have missed it somehow. Anyway, thanks.

ik but i just dont use it, only use FB so i only see whatever their FB page posts

[fowang 60]

Very little put on FB about updates you'll find a lot more activity on twitter!

Servers are back up.

I can dig up worms again with my shovel so I guess that probably means that the 0.45 updates are enabled again. Hopefully people can chop down trees and stuff, along with the return of all other features, and we can get back to the future and all.

The eerie blue light in the inventory is still there though. It's freaking me out that I'm about to be beamed up.

Edit: no rubberbanding but I was being hit by zombies hitting thin-air outside the door of a house when I was upstairs. I was punching them in the face and nothing was happening either. All seems a bit laggy in opening doors and interacting too, but maybe the servers need time to settle down?

M4 locations are probably wiped again :D just at hele crash sites hopefully.

.45 was like that even with the rubber banding, it was only when it was rolled back did it pick up again. I'm guessing whatever they have new in .45 slows the servers down somewhere.

Maybe I was lucky in that I never noticed before then. Did this include right-clicking an item in the inventory and getting "receiving" for ages before getting the options to inspect or use? Seems to come and go at the moment, reminds me a bit of the days of heavy desync.

Just ran into a stag, so at least the rollback then rollforward has given me the first animal I've seen in a while!

I played 30 or so minutes: iritating zombie noises, inventory "receiving" massage too long, slow doors opening, can chop trees, found LRS in garage in Chernaya Polana and PU scope in log pub. Also found fishing hook.

For me it seemed to be sever side as I had my card and CPU way below 100% yet there was still lag, on the current stable I can get a good FPS even in the cities but the card is maxed out (I use Afterburner to check).

I am guessing whatever code is running on the server (the loot checking?) is slowing everything down.

who cares what you'r okay with? stop making mountains out of molehills - they can provide as much "false information (as u call it)"  as they want, the game isn't finish yet and the only thing you paid for is a finished game. stop claiming for something you have no rights for.

no. didnt pay for a finished game! as it clearly states that its an Alpha! i traded for a steam product which has a store page that is misleading customers! thats it! i only traded for it cuz i wanna actively Support development! i am prepared to handle serious issues aswell as possible inbteruptions of game functioning! but there is no word on the store page that u gotta dig through all of the internetz to get involved a tiny Little bit in testing and development! and if u find some bits and pieces of said development Infos (which is far too Little technical for me) now.... u cant just take their wording serious anymore!

ACTIVE SUPPORT = ?!?!

:huh:

 

Step one: Buy and install DayZ.

Step two: Switch to experimental branch.

Step three: Create a login for the bugtracker.

Step four: Report bugs (repeat)

The store page contains the alpha-warning first thing. What exactly was misleading about that?

 

Also what do you mean that you have to "go through all of the internetz(sic)" to get involved in "a tiny little bit" of testing? You just start up the game in Steam, if you find bugs you report them in the bugtracker. You can discuss issues here on the forum and elsewhere, but to be honest it is probably more for our own entertainment than actual use of the devs. Still, I have no clue what you are on about.

I honestly do not understand your apparent joy over this.  So now instead of raiding AFs and military bases for M4s you find AKMs instead, nothing really changed outside of the "model" they are running around with.  Sure it was odd seeing everyone running around with a US assault rifle but they are still going to be running around with an assault rifle, just a Russian one.

[rotteck 104]

can somebody tell me if bullet impact gets rendered beyond 100 metres ? like 500, or 700 ?

because in the current stable, it does not.

 

wanted to test it out right now, but my char just got resetted :(

nope, no proper rendering at the moment.

Its making it harder and harder to find an assault rifle less spray and pray and adding more skill and better game play into the mix!

 

Also making players look for weapons rather than staying in berzino/NEA

You guys sure the fish hooks are back in?

 

I mean, I could never find one before, but still haven't found one, and am doubting their existence.    I have checked every single corner pub "Bar Military"  that I can find.  Every loot spawn in them, and every Piano House.   

 

That fishing hook is uber rare, I guess.

 

Any other tips on specific buildings to search?

[Silence4all 35]

I have found fish hooks in the trunk of cars & garages. Been a long time since i have found 1 though.

Look what i just found around 30 minutes ago @ rooftop apartments. Also found 'nother one in garage (common spot for those), i'm willing to trade for mosin ammo!
