Exp Update: 0.57128035*

[GaryWalnuts 1680]

Can anyone who's currently playing give me an idea of what the map changes are like? Supposedly the new road blocks are all over the place and I'm stuck at work for another 6 hours :(

 

I saw a few roadblocks along the way up north.   First one I encountered was at the Vybor military base south side, second one west side NWAF and the third on the east side of Lopatino I believe.  I'll post a screenshot when I see another, but they are kind of messy; barbed wire, cement blocks, stop sign, sand bags, netting and of course ... always in the road   :P

Would someone be so kind as to explain "rolling restarts" to me?

I think it means servers are getting restarted one by one over a longer period of time instead all at once.

Just get on that main highway and head east for Sevrograd!!!

Strange, no CTD memory problems in an hour today, when this week the exp builds had been giving me those problems.

I ain't about that Stable life.

I was able to play for an hour and a half, finally finding loot on 1pp Southcentral. It was a fun little run until my connection went up into a glowing fireball visible from outer space.

When I returned - no servers. Patience is a virtue I suppose :/

So far I have some technical issues with this update. Frequent CTDs and massive lag. Quite a bit of loot around though.

There are servers at the moment, at least for me. I only look for European servers because US have a big ping for me.

It's currently unplayable for me though. Servers are restarting all the time (that's fine with me) but I get some memory crashes. The combination of these 2 are getting frustrated.

 

There is indeed a lot of loot now and I haven't even needed to reside to natural surviving. Guess I'll do it even though I don't need to. Just to get my energy to around 20 k. :D

 

I noticed they changed the game mechanics. It seems like your much, much longer stuffed now. I don't know if they changed hydration and energy.

servers down, new exp push this evening ! (Eugen Harton)

Technical issues should be expected with any experimental build and says little about upcoming stable builds. Loot being plentiful so soon after a new build release means very little except that they didn't drastically alter the nominal numbers for any collection of items. Within hours the bonanza will begin to dry up near spawn locations and then it will be artificially low perhaps for days in these areas due to high frequency of newspawns moving through the area compared to a stable server which might run for weeks and will have a more "stable" economy.

I just enter "experimental" into the filter, normally I get lucky with at least 5 servers under 200 ping (I'm in the US though)

 

Stuffed hasn't changed for me, once I get the message I eat one more can of whatever I have at that moment, and then keep moving. I think the more you're running, the faster the stuffed notification will go away. Would make sense to me at least.

 

Oh yay, excited now :) I think I'll go watch some Netflix until this blows over :) I wish there was an app that would alert you when servers go down / back up again, it would be very practical for exp. at the moment ^^

More fixes coming to experimental soon, new version available in the evening.

[ebrim 998]

I started a 3PP character who encountered less loot (as expected) but is doing well.

 

If the camera changed, it didn't seem to prevent looking over walls.

 

 

Yeah, I got to play with it a bit, this is probably just the first step. I hope so anyway. :)

The Northeast airfield has roadblocks and/or pillboxes in the southwest corner outside the fence, on the north side heading to Cernaya Polana and coming in to the main airport building from the south end.  It was a nice addition to the area.

You get stuffed orange from 3500 to 4000 so this would mean that after 500 ml you're back green. As far as I know the stomach always decreases with 1 ml/sec. This would mean around 10 minutes and then you're green again. It was much longer before I got back to green stuffed.

No CTDs for me but I've experienced some weird 'lag' also.  

It feels like 1 fps but fraps says about 18 (for example), strangely when I press P for player list the lag goes away and everything looks smooth again and fraps still remains unchanged at 18...  

Pressing P again removes the player list and brings back the lag, so I don't think it's desync at all, possibly a video issue?  

I'll try updating nvidia drivers and rebooting and see if that helps.

Damn I was just about to play :/ I like these fast updates to exp but it's pretty hard toget on with work and constant back end updates ....

[fing24 36]

Just Broke 1000 hrs of playing.  What ever happens to the game I consider I have my moneys worth.  Played less hours on released games.

[raptori 13]

It seems they are pulling so much info from each play session ! continues server up and down, let's hope everything is going fine.

I know how you feel. The biggest thing for me is always if there's gonna be a wipe or not. Am I gonna have to start over yet again? Are my snare traps gonna be gone? I think I will actually adjust my playstyle once the servers are back up again. I'ma be roaming da map, y'allz ^^ With persistence disabled it doesn't seem to make a ton of sense trying to make a home, at least not currently ^^

Is persistence disabled on experimental ? I thought they were only to do that when .57 hit stable ! But yea the wipes I can deal with cuz I usually don't have amazing stuff but these past few days like clockwork I'll be reading all the fun stuff you guys are posting on the forums and be so pumped to jump in and then I see a tweet from eugen that the servers are coming down for some hours :/ three days in a row lol!!!

So I guess I'll play If the servers are up later tonight after work , but when .57 hits stable it's going to mark my first break of dayz for a bit , because I can't play a zombie less , persistence less dayz again (not to mention experimental might not be around for a while when .57 hits stable ) it reminds me too much of the days of .32 where it was just pvp and everything was so crude lol .

As far as I know of it's still enabled on experimental.
