Stable Branch - 0.57 Discussion

[boneboys 7988]

EDIT : 

 

Hey guys,

 

I wanted to say we are deeply sorry for the misunderstanding created here. We are also sorry for not being on point with changelog, as the changes in the process of creation of it got mixed up and the community wasnt credited at start, as Smoss was the poster here, and is not responsible for it conception. The mistake is made and I want to believe we can bring more power to it in the future.

 

With the changelogs for next versions, we will use the combination of SVN comments, DB loot setup data, renders and more to create more viable alternative to get insight into what has changed over time. Since there is system in place to change and tweak item spawns in real time there will be an ongoing effort to include these changes as they happen.

As always, we will be watching server data, and the feedback tracker for any potential severe issues and will address them accordingly with a hot fix. For any bugs/issues you run into, please let us know by filing it on the feedback tracker: http://feedback.dayzgame.com

Build # looks like 57.128177

Only official servers are up right now (e.g. DayZ SJ 2-01...)

Looking forward to playing in a couple hours. I'll post as much as I can find.

Lots of the new features explored and described in the old exp thread (http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/225392-exp-update-057128035/)

[Aj90lfc 58]

Someone pinch me, am i dreaming or is this actually happening?

[freethink 984]

I didn't get to play the final .57 experimental but played all the .57's before that. I'm actually more interested in seeing how this is received. It couldn't be as bad as .55.

[Karakoz 141]

This is a trap.

[FREDDIEkillz 18]

How many updates to 0.57 exp were there and which one is this one?

[nodeath 2]

Failed to install battleeye?

[wil24567 240]

Update runs smooth, over 30 fps in Berezino consistently! Those small outpost buildings have amazing military loot as well!

[hekeetsu 86]

This update is so good! Only servers I can find are night, but it just makes things more interesting :D

[freethink 984]

How many updates to 0.57 exp were there and which one is this one?

 

No idea. There were multiple updates of server software as well as client software. I had at least 3 exp client updates but it could well have been more. It's been a while and I drank quite a lot of wine in the process so my recollections are hazy.

[kubas246 4]

Wow, one of better updates. However check pulse is broken and loot needs some balance (I found 8 vests in camo building, 6 assault and 2 hi-cap). I wrote it here, because feedback.dayzgame.com don't work ((for now or for me)

[boneboys 7988]

 

and counting...

[☣BioHaze☣ 7337]

Ammo now says "Unpack" instead of empty.

[RagedDrew 209]

183.4 mb from Exp to Stable.

Stable to Stable 1.3gb.

Yeh got that update about 20 minutes, still says I'm on EXP lol Edited June 10, 2015 by RagedDrew

Opt out of Exp.

[hekeetsu 86]

Seems like religging with an item in your hands makes the item un-interactable and you can't see it or take it away from hands, gotta test this more.

.

Yeah, I just wanted to test it more and when I relogged again after a while, it seemed to work normally again.

[Repa24 8]

First object i found: Hunting scope! :D

[jiggyjoe 43]

First one i found, Atlas Bipod rofl !!

On the other hand, before reporting what i experience to the bug tracker id' like to know if anybody else encountered those issues :

1 : Using the ''Tool Bar'' is impossible

2 : Since i had something in my hands when inventory full, can't either grab my axe or my shotgun anymore

Anyone else ? 

[odin_lowe 3686]

Everything works perfectly on my side. No memory leaks, no crashes, in-game or on exit.

 

Action bar works great. Infected are in. Haven't seen any animals though, and some spots have multiple ones at the same time usually. (Ex: The small house on top of the North-East hill of Kozlovka have pigs, chicken, goats and sheep spawning usually. I have found none today, and was the first one on the server...)

[*tLD Anhor 0]

Allready LOOTBUGS on the servers, restarting every 15 minutes, memory runs on 90% and above! All our 3 privat servers!
