Exp Update: 0.58 + Hot Fix.

[BleedoutBill 1636]

I just don't understand what you guys are saying.  Dsync is horrible, probably worse than before, players are still killing on sight, can't jump fences, having much more problems picking things up, and I've spawn completely without clothes, filling trucks with fuel still isn't fixed.... this is a wholely mess!

High pings can sometimes exaggerate some of these issues, as can a high player count. And frankly, not all servers are created equal. Have you tried different servers.

[Super_Duty 466]

Depends greatly on your GPU settings in-game.  I'm running a 4GB R290x and with all the bells and whistles turned on, which is how I like things.  The big cities will drop frame rates into the low 20's running high or very high rendering.

 

Interestingly enough though, the server performance wasn't that bad for me when I was actually fighting the zombies... They seemed a little confused about who to attack (I accidentally KO'd one of the two guys I met and they stuck to him while I knocked them out in a little line), but the performance during the fight was actually pretty good IMO. It was more back when I was in Berezino - there was about ten minutes where the game was just literally unusable.

 

I'm waiting impatiently for the video to process. :D

I am confused why there was a character wipe.  Apparently the only thing that changed loot wise, is there is less of it...  Now you just basically write off the starting town and hope to god you find something in the next town or you will be back on the coast trying again.

Waiting patiently for your video... I'm way up north at the moment.

 

Not to be Capt. Obvious, but we need this infected performance issue addressed.  Can't be having a real apocalypse without hoards chasing you half way across town.

At least we can see for ourselves, first hand, why the zeds have not been added back into Exp. If it will help the devs with data collection, I'll hop on and bust a cap into a couple of zeds ... for science.  :D

It's because it suited the devs. Exp wipes are common.

I played from the start and there was lots of loot. I got to gorka and some guy killed me. When I restarted it was kind of difficult and I flirted with starvation but now I'm fully health and way out west with more food than I know what to do with.

In case anybody is interested in seeing the zombie horde mentioned from .58, as well as the general performance on that server, here's my forum post for the video.

Performance was actually okay from what I seen.. love the zombie hordes.. They should have 2 or 3 huge hordes wandering the map

i got an error message saying batteleye version not the same or something? my friend got it as well anyone else? This is when trying to join a server.

[eyecon (DayZ) 42]

Well I tried playing. I let the update do it's thing, try to jump in and get a Battle Eye kick for "unknown game version." I verified game cache to no avail.  So I'm downloading .57, then will redownload .58 and see if that works.

Looks like we were typing at the same time :)

I'm still all good but just saw at least 2 players get kicked from the server I was on for the same thing.

Edot, spoke too soon can't get back in.

Few people that were joining the server I was on had the same thing happen. Perhaps because servers are resetting right now.

Yeah, that's what I'm hoping. It's weird because the last reset was at twenty after the hour and now this one is right on schedule with where they were before. Not sure if it true but the be administration message is sayng four hour restarts on the servers with infected.

Yeah, my server went down and when I try and rejoin I am getting the same error as well and all the EXP servers are currently empty.   Something is up...

[creamycowboy 139]

Happening to me now, trying to see if there is an update perhaps. All the servers are empty except a few.

 

Looks like only the infected playlists are up and US-NE-01/02.

Cool, just spent over an hour lugging a car tent to my new camp spot.

I was playing on swe 02 w/infected and my memory usage had got up over 3 gigs. Might be something wrong.

[Etherimp 1323]

Can't connect to any servers either.. unknown game version. Already switched to .57 and back, no change, same problem.

Ah that makes two of us, I ran a few miles with that thing. 

I saw about 5 people kicked from the server for unknown game version but it didn't kick me so I just kept running north.

Finally logged off about 10 minutes ago and tried to log back in .. unknown game version.  :unsure:

Because DayZ.

[eyecon (DayZ) 42]

Well, I have to do dishes anyways (they're both dirty). Shut down steam and will try again in a bit.

[boneboys 7988]

Wrong version error after server restart SWE 0-2 also (I could see you guys getting kicked one after the other).

Not sure where the problem lies, perhaps related to the Zombie test servers only.

I'll give it a go on a standard server.

I just gave it a try

GD 0-1 Infected spawn test server showed about 10 people on it, but I got the error trying to join.

US NE 0-1 exp server showed about 3 people on it, but same unknown game version.

 

The build numbers do seem to match though, 0.58.128852 on my character screen and it says the same on the 'greenlight' exp servers.

 

Ah well, Tempermental Experimental  :D
