Exp Update: 0.55.126981

[Deathlove 2286]

Who in there right mind would even want to attempt t slide down a ladder even if there was an option considering how notorious dayz/arma ladders are !

 

Nooo way i will never try it unless I'm being chased ! :D

Theres lots of ppl that will always do stupid things. I mean not everyone is going to have common sense especially in a panic mode. Hence why allot of ppl will die in an apocalypse scenario within the first 24 hours by not using that common sense lol.

1,9 mb update ? :D

1,9 mb update ? :D

Just a BattlEye update for now:

 

 

Not sure what this BE update is intended to address, but I'm hoping it curbs some of the huge spike in hacker activity that occurred over the weekend. I took 920-some hours for it to happen, but I finally encountered my first hackers this weekend (in Stable, though). Fortunately nothing bad really came of it for myself, but my friends and fellow party guests were not so fortunate.

No desync, but rubber-banding occurring. Standing by as they assess the results.

Hmmm, at this point I'm thinking we'll get a standard 3PM EST release?

 

Am I the only one watching twitch refreshing the forum for release posts?

 

Somehow I doubt it....

 

:D

Just killed by a cheater twice on the experimental. He has speedhack and some sort of instakill thingy. So unfortunately BE still has a lot of work to do.

[☣BioHaze☣ 7337]

Unfortunately, most of us know that hacking can never likely be 100% done away with.

 

I truly, deeply, wholeheartedly, wish this weren't true, believe me.

 

At least we know that all of the early exposure the game is getting out in the wild will ensure that the tools they have will be greatly reduced by the time we reach 1.0.

 

At least I think that's the working theory....

[BleedoutBill 1636]

Went in yesterday to test this, and no, you dont "slide" down the ladders, you let go, and drop like a rock :D

Thanks for testing and reporting back!

If they not only went after hacks but also sites that sell hacks for their games then it just might cut down on hackers.

"The option to drop down from the ladder has been implemented to work like this. The way to prevent damage is to drop from lower heights."

[igor-vk 909]

Looks like no update today either... :(

[☣BioHaze☣ 7337]

^No way, man!

 

Have faith!

 

I still believe we have plenty of time to see an update....

 

If not, Eugene or someone will let us know fairly soon I think.

[solodude23 649]

I'm running out of house chores to do! C'mon update! lol

[barnabus 1708]

UGH, lost my tents on EXP and the aug I had stored as a back up.  Pretty sure they weren't found.  On the bright side I found another tent.    Is it me or are truck spawn points no so random as they are supposed to be?  I keep finding trucks in mostly the same locations.

 

I am asking this again.

 

On the V3S; what is the shutter, what does it do and why is it implemented on 3pp trucks but not an option for 1pp trucks?????

[solodude23 649]

Ah well!

The new loot system is turned off until we get the bug fixed.

Where can I read more about this new loot system? Thanks!

I don't believe they've expounded much other than today's Status Report and other little snippets here and there :(

[xCAPx 349]

Can't wait for more improvements on the new infected.
I had a lot of fun fighting against them with different melee weapons the last dayz  :)  brass knuckles rocks
Their attack speed is very nice, damage is ok, bleeding chance is quiet perfect but the stealth mechanic is a bit overpowered at the moment, but these are balancing things which will be made later.

No ctd for me. The game runs a bit better, and lag/desync was a little less - max of ~12players...

I don't know, but for me it looks like they reduced the view distance. Maybe it was because of my "grey screen" from blood loss?! Can someone confirm?

 

Good work team <3

[urvile 20]

Well, I've got an update cued for exp, it's halfway downloaded, but can't seem to dl the other half.

[☣BioHaze☣ 7337]

^I do not think they have pushed out a patch today.

 

My Steam certainly didn't grab an update.

 

We are to expect "news" tomorrow morning (per Eugenes tweet).

 

There was a small BattleEye update (seeing a DOS window for BattleEye now on boot-up), but no client patch I am aware of.

 

I'm not sure what your Steam started to DL....

[urvile 20]

no clue either, but it's stuck now for around 2 hours.

urvile, sounds like a bug/glitch.

 

Maybe restart Steam.  :/

It would not be worth the time and effort to do so. It's better to continue fixing the game and adding in security. It's more cost effective that way. For example look at Apple, Microsoft and any big company. You can reduce hackers, but you can never get rid of them. It's better for the developers to plug up as many security issues as possible. That way it's harder to hack and thus deters hackers. In essence solve the actual problem rather then going on a wild goose chase. :)
