Experimental Branch: 0.47 Discussion

- server performance is very good for me atm

- new navmesh is great! thx devs! I love to trap zombies in buildings. They no longer glich through closed doors to enter a room.

- no LMB bug in 3hours

- unlimited loot respawn (or hacker?) in one of the two barns at 088 022

 

On my way from Gvozdno to Stary I nearly looted every single house but no "unlimited loot"(most buildings were looted as I came in) They guy I met in the barn (he was there before I came in) said that the loot spawns every few minutes...so I dont know?!

Can someone confirm?

I couldnt find any tent. Can someone tell me if I have to find it or craft it? thx :-)

I have not come across a barn like that, haven't fought enough zeds yet to make a call on the LMB bug, I pray you are right.

 

Dropped a rucksack in a tree, could not get it back, so I chopped down the tree, got my rucksack back.

 

Singapore is spawing loot, at least HC is.

Supposed to be a stable patch on wednesday, wouldn't really hold my breath though on some of the bigger stuff like persistence and item respawn but who knows.

 

Obviously not definitive but:

 

 

Thanks to the help of users here, we have fixed this for the next stable release (possibly wednesday this week).

Perhaps more relevant in terms of loot respawn/persistence.

I say its possible, but not to be expected. Anything can change at any point. This is a big one.

The new Lootspawn is not fixed yet`?

 

the 100mb fix is only Tents and Firearm Balancing?

[darricks 12]

Dunno for now I think. 
Really await vehicle, one of the most important feature of the game at my eyes, considering they do the same job as a tents plus some extras. 

[hells high 676]

Full servers are really taking a dump for me, especially when new players join. Probably has something to do with people abusing the loot spawning again as well.

 

US Southcentral 0-4 just went down and has been infinitely restarting again. Hope it isn't going to happen to them all.

[trev186 389]

I cannot choose a server with less than 125 ping playing in CA...all I do is desync til I am killed 

 

thought since i am a fresh spawn i would just chat with people in Svelto and they just decide to shoot me...awesome

Every one is super excited about starting to collect gear in EXP. Don't forget that you are playing experimental, come the next patch all that will probably be gone. Don't build mega stashes until at least its pushed to stable guys. :P

 

Any pictures of new stuff yet? I heard something about a Mosin wrap and have been carrying an extra burlap sack just in case...

 

Found a camo bandana to cover up Dean's mug. :P

ok, I had several rubber banding instances, all bigger ones seemed to be when ppl were joining. One time the players list shrunk by like 5 in a moment. I think smaller rubber bandings can also happen when a zed starts agroing on you.

 

I almost starved to death, was already red and started picking apples. That was after spawning and absolutely everything being looted dry. When I came into a town and even the most obscure houses were open, I just kept running. Ran from south of krazno to Dubrovka, Gorka, Novy and Mogilevka. Found two sodas on the way. The apple trees in Mogilevka saved me and then I started finding unlooted buildings in Dubky. When reaching Balota I actually puked just to able to continue eating and get high regeneration. Also started to find weapons there. It was kind of strange the east being barren and at a certain point the unlooted zone started and it was just like on stable. I guess the loot spawing is off currently, but the loot distribution needs to be tweaked, if it is not disabled. To be fair though, I still have no ammo. I did not go onto (the looted) balota airfield or the tenttown (I don't do that unarmed, it seems so unsurvivalish), but also in civilian buildings ammo seems to be really rare. Of course in Komarovo nothing was looted BUT the police station... . Now on my way to Kamenka, then going north... .

 

Besides the rubberbanding I also had long moments of desync where I could not interact with the world, like opening doors, ... . I don't know how I liked the rare loot in the beginning, on one hand, I had to struggle, which is good. On the other I did unsurvivalish things like running through rows and rows of appartment buildings EVEN standing still while opening car trunks. So unsurvivalish. I guess I'll stick to apple trees in the future.

 

Found an exploit by the way. When picking apples you can spam the pick apple action just before the animation ends and you will have searched the tree multiple times sometimes. Not sure what the exact criteria are, but I think you need some "server lag" until the server tells you about your success. Spamming the key then worked and I even found 2 apples twice in one go that way.

 

Oh, I had a bandana, but just how do you use it clint eastwood style? I got no options but inspect and equipping it worked normally... .

Some serious rubber-banding issues earlier, 50 meters to half a kilometer.  One odd instance where it was about three steps back, a dozen or more times in succession. 

 

No issues with items in game.

LMB bug certainly still exists, just don't press it too fast and you can usually get away with it.  Loot was extremely rare and doesn't seem right, not even sure if it's respawning.  Also the intense rubberbanding you get the first 30 seconds or so after the server restarts, try not to move around especially if you are in a building or it may kill you.

[trev186 389]

I did a "path of the warrior" run on a server which had obviously been loaded a few hours before. It seemed like no loot was respawning. Still got some decent gear but that mainly came from cast offs or areas people missed

 

I did find two clips for the new rifle though 

 

I had mixed results with wooden tents...pretty sure no loot is spawning there it is just people dumping items in them. I found a  round mag in one

I'm not so sure, I found a pristine canteen, 80% full standing upright in a wood floored tent, if someone placed it there they went to a lot of trouble to get it standing upright and not really a safe place to do that.  I think wood floors are spawning again, at any rate, something to keep an eye on... I also found quite a bit of other things in them which is why I say that, why would someone go to the back of a wood floored tent and dump a box of .357?

 

Did not find a heli crash, but I have only been up north, haven't looked that hard either.

 

I found an AK Magazine under a pair of boots in a military jail, so there has to be some loot respawning.  Surprised me somewhat too, it was at NWAF and the place was no where near picked clean.  That was just before a server restart.

 

I will not jinx myself and name the bug which should not be named suffice to say that I didn't experience it....  yet...

In the short amount of time I played earlier I could confirm loot was respawning. Spawned in Dolina on a full HC server and began searching the already-looted town. Searched every building and while every door was open, there were still cans of food lying about. After checking all the buildings, I proceeded to run through the town and pick up & drop items that I passed. As I did a loop or two, I noticed new items were appearing including food and soda, especially in the police station.

Nice Singapore sever is working, thanks for the info!

 

P.S: In order for a building to respawn loot does it need to be pick clean first? or does it just "speed up the process" ?

So, are tents like packed to be put in inventory? And what is the use of tents now? 

[maninthewall 470]

I saw an update on facebook with a picture of a tent. Are they working now? How do they work? Are they even in the experimental?

Information is hard to get these dayz

Just found out you can now chamber the CR527 brush gun. So glad, I was having a hard time finding mags last patch.

I had 3 mags but no gun and then I lost them all on this update and now I have the gun.
