Exp Update: 0.58 + Hot Fix.

[Thurman Merman 726]

I'm so ready for stable.  I don't PvP in EXP.  But, over the last few days, I've been shot at 10:1 v. talked to.  Can't wait to go slake my rage on mooks in Stable for a while.  Bring on the murder!!

[Thurman Merman 726]

That I knew, I just didn't expect another patch.

 

Edit: I guess I'm lucky I was holding a barrel when I logged this morning.

 

I was actually less than 20m from my camp when the servers went offline.  Had just dropped everything off at camp.  Was heading over to military tents to load up, so had absolutely nothing on me.  Was all empty inventory.  

 

When it restarted, I just went to the tents.  On the way found 3 cop cars.  By the time I was leaving the tents, I had a smersh vest and pack, plate carrier w pouches and holster, SPOSN, boot knife, MP5, 9mm, Blaze w scope, battery and plug, and a few other odds and ends.  When I stopped to loot the very last structure in the tent city, I got shot in the back of the head.   :D

Who had a fireplace in the woods near Sinistok at UK6 just few mins ago? :) Saw someone running across the field, coming from the woods. Thought i'd check it out and boy that was scary to find fireplace burning at night time in the middle of the forest. So far this build is working great.

I don't think tents are spawning at the small apartments like they use to anymore.

How long has this been ingame? :)

Just played a couple hours on 3pp with my youngest son and the only bug I noticed was I made my stone knife and the first can of peaches I opened caused the can of peaches to turn into another stone knife. It wasn't a ghost I could use them both, eventually left the second one in my jeans when I swapped for hunter pants.

[...]

- when the inventory is full (no free slots) and you search for a stone/craft a stone knife/open cans, they are invisible in your hands; you can only throw them away or eat them to get the hands free - FIXED

- saw many ghost-items (like BioHaze said); can't pick them up (drag into hands/double click - nothing) mostly weapons and ammo; if you split the ammo - half is in the inventory, half vanished - no ghost-items so far, MAYBE fixed, continue testing/searching

- if you are on the upper floor, you can see the items which are under you and you can use them - NOT FIXED

 

[...]

 

Maybe it would be a good idea, before 0.58 goes stable, that papers can be combined (stack of 5-10?). I would like to see that, because of persistence for camps - thx! :)

 

 

main floor

 

upper floor

 

visible can, if inventory is full

 

nice work! :beans:

They do! I was just in Berezino and picked up a camping tent and a car tent.Had to build the car tent, because I found a barrel on the way out. It's just that in the buildings that were empty before, some loot spawns now too. And the house I found the tents in wasn't the same apartment block as before. I'd just be interested if anyone found a tent in Cherno in the small apartments. Because last time I checked every damn house there and didn't find a thing.

 

Praise when praise is due: this is a great update/patch and I can't find a single thing wrong with it. It seems like a whole slew of issues have been solved. I had problems only with picking up one burlap sack in a shed, but odd enough when I passed by it again and tried, I could pick it up. Might have been something in the vicinity that I took; I guess that problem is still there, occasionally. But, I get fantastic frames, nothing was dropped and I found no duped items or lootsplosions. I have seen bolts spawn in civi houses, which is great. Only need to find a quiver now. 

 

People need to understand it was never the objective of 0.58 to patch the infected. There were some really serious issues that have been solved and performance improved massively for me. Now the game is actually at a point where I think they can bring them back, but even now I think they will work on basebuilding and new/other car mechanics first, bc the zombie AI is such a massive performance drain. It probably makes more sense to bring infected back for good, once Infusion launches. 

 

Good patch! Lovein' it so far. Can't wait for stable and playing with my friends again.

Well if anyone is wondering what the loot is like at the prison island its still mostly clothing and plate carriers but the barracks spawn decent stuff however when i swim back to shore i see 2 guys with ak's coming after me so i turn around to try to swim away from them it seemed to be working since bullets were whizzing past me but eventually they got a hit and i ended up bleeding out in the middle of the water  :( man i never get a friendly encounter these days it seems. <_<

I found one in Novo not long after I made the post. It just happened to be the apartments I didn't check.

[Super_Duty 466]

I ran into some locked doors in the past hour.  Not sure if someone locked them or if the update is locking some of them.  Didn't have a pick with me at the time, but will head back and check it out. I find it a bit odd, server I mostly play on, and this is the first time I've run across a locked door.

you can punch open locked doors. or use an axe or hammer or whatever. also you can shoot them open.

Gotta love the badasses that shoot people while swimming .. much skill they have.

[Super_Duty 466]

Thx!  I was on the move and didn't give it much thought at the time.

What i think is really funny about these guys is that they can't shoot for shit! they must have shot more then 30 bullets trying to hit me yet only one lucky bullet got me in the arm so if the dayz gods were really on my side i could have swim all the way back to prison island without getting hit at all and possibly could have sniped them with my winchester that i had at the time and on the bright side they can't loot my body in the middle of the water.  B)

[Super_Duty 466]

One gripe of mine to add to the list, not that I have many, but you can carry an oil drum in your hands, truck battery or car tent, but not a backpack, or military tent, coat, etc.  Not sure if there's some grand plan, but imho, any 1 item should be able to be put in hand and carried.

Also, while I'm posting, I saw a herd of deer way up north, middle of the map. First time for that in recent builds.

[creamycowboy 139]

I was thinking the same thing today SD. When I found 4 packs in one area, it was a pain trying to get them all back heh.

 

I seen a herd of deer freaking out behind a tan 2 story and I also seen a lone zombie in at the eastern edge of Novo. We thought it was a player at first.

Lot of stuff I couldn't pick up again, until closing doors and sorting it. My dude is extremely confused again. I have a silencer on the Amphibia (for laughs), yet it shows on the CR527, And I am again thinking that the container is my pistol, apparently ^^

 

  

 

The glitch where you drop something from the backpack and then a copy is on the ground is still there; only thing that doesn't get duped are the attachments. I play solo, but I heard that anyone can pick those copies up. Don't know for sure, but have the nailboxes been tweaked? For the first time I wanted to really make a baseball bat, because I knew I'd pass one by on the way back to base. So I picked up two boxes of nail, but one only gave me 5, the other 6. They used to give 10, right? Seems there is some rolling dice involved now, in order to determine how many you get; could also be there are either 5 or 6 per box now.

 

Something weird about tent visibility: the tents are still very visible after all the trees in the surrounding have already loaded thei LOD models. I think it is almost impossible to hide a tent in a forest like this. You might as well put it on a meadow, because all it's surrounding and thickets vanish long before you cannot see the tent anymore. What about spraying tents - I remember that was announced a while ago. Or, why are there no green or camo tents? I would be happy about a little variation.  

 

P.S.: What's with the image size from linked images now? This is much too small. Was it changed?

Never understood that either, don't see why you can't carry a second full backpack with all the downsides that come with having it in hand but even an empty one would be useful.

[Super_Duty 466]

I saw them as they ran across my line of sight, spooked.  Much further away than I had thought for me to have spooked them.  Dropped to the ground for several minutes, waiting to see if someone was nearby, but nothing, so I can only surmise that it was me that set them off running.

What is your ping?

 

Regarding the image and what you should see you're holding, yep, been messed up for several builds.

 

Need to go check the LOD bit.  Can you provide your video settings?  Curious if you're running everything on the low side.  Not that this should allow you to see tents all by themselves after the surrounding environment fades out.

I'm mostly on normal settings, shadows disabled, clouds low. I could probably go a little higher, but the game looks fine like this, except I might turn on shadows again at some point. 

 

Ping is under 100. I just never noticed that about tents before. When you are right in front you can hardly see it through the trees, but from a couple hundred meters away it is as clear as daylight,

You must have been up wind from them. :)

[zap44 40]

Are you adding both the glow plug and battery to the top tab of the truck's inventory like putting wood in a fireplace? 

 

That has changed, the glow plug used to work if put anywhere but now has a dedicated slot.

Ah sheet! So that's it! Do this stuff enough I should have thought to try that. Thanks Basher...you saved me from an F11.
