Exp Update: 0.59 (+hotfix).

[Kohlbar 270]

Keep switching between .59 and .58 because all my friends are stuck on stable, but all they do is dupe and hack mags and stuff. Sorry but I seem to be crazy for not thinking that's a fun way of playing the fucking GAME!!!! Just ranting a bit. Really hope more anticheat measures come out. I'm gonna stay on .59

[barnabus 1708]

Still having issues with the holster on the plate carrier and the pistiol.  It's wierd equipping it, I can't tell most times if it in hand or not and if it's in my hot bar eveytime I hit that number if falsly dups the pistol (It aapears but it's the same pistol, not a true dup).  Bothers me to see it.  Does not seem to happen with the sholder holster.  With -newui inventory issues are much more annoying than without it.  I have to log out and in again most of the time just to see if an item went where I put it or if it is still in my inventory.  Some hotbar keys in -newui keep dropping items out of place upon log out and log in. n Along with the having to log out and back in to check inventory this gets ridiculous.

 

Can anyone confirm that damaged spark plugs will not work at all?  This happened to me to day, looking for a worn or pristine spark plug to try starting the vehicle again.  The battery and all the tires are pristine.  It's not a UAZ jeep as I reported before, it's a Lada offroad hatchback.  I love that tough little bugger.

 

 

 

Im still using the new ui and can still pick up items by the double click :huh:

On that note double clicking the hunting scope from the vicinity tab automatically put it straight on my rifle, where as putting it into my inventory then trying to drag to the rifle caused all sorts shit. 

Whenever I double click in -newui all I get is the item examine screen

What server are you playing on? Id like to at least see new vehicle live.

LoL what is going on this time? I just logged in and my character won't stop strafing left. I already relogged and he still keeps walking.

Upvoted. Sadly, looks like us dual core people are in minority and Im afraid devs will stop fixing this issue.

 

Hello Zurvivalist and thank you for the info.

We are aware of the problem being present again in the current patch and we are working on a fix.

Regards,

Geez

 

now we play the waiting game 

[Mean Gun Morris 102]

Whenever I double click in -newui all I get is the item examine screen

:huh: that only happens to me if my inventory is full, just double checked it now too.

[S3V3N 1402]

You guys asking for an E-brake... didja try leaving it in gear?

 

:)

 

That SHOULD work as well in a real manual transmission car.

 

Agreed that would be awesome, but that is exactly the problem: the gears don't behave like in a manual car. If you are even on the slightes incline and start rolling, you just keep rolling even if you accelerate like a madman in first gear. It's like driving on ice, no grip. So that's why we ask for the brake. It would be much more fun, if you could properly rev up the engine and play with gas and clutch. Perhaps the updates dealt with this problem, I'm gonna check later and see if my car's still there on 3rd person server. 

 

>>EDIT: no, it's gone :( someone else is in my Lady, err Lada.

The bugged items are my main problem now. Same as for most of you. There isn't a single session it doesn't happen, though I don't remember it being that bad in the first update. I especially hate it when I see items on top of items in my inventory and can't tell what is a glitch and what I'm carrying. I find that putting things on the ground, switching pants, etc. only works soso. In the worst case you will surround yourself with glitched items and lose track of where the actual item has gone. I usually reconnect. 

 

This is a really big issue that borders on making the game unplayable. Did last night's patch fix anything, or didn't it deal with the inventory? Before this patch goes to stable, they need to figure out how to stop this, as it is the single most annoying thing right now.

hey guys,

 

i am playing 0.59exp all the time now but i did not get the new loot spawns right. can you help me with one of the following questions?

 

1. pistol suppressors! in .58 they i found them in police cars, in the civilan house type with the shelves room and in helicopter crash sites. now i find them nowhere, not a single one! did anybody find one yet and where did you see them spawn now?

 

2. optics for mp5: same question, where do they spawn now?

 

3. ump45: in .58 i found them alwaays in the officer tents, now nowhere. only american crash sites now?

 

last question, not loot related: i see the new symbols (thirst etc.) in the right corner but they are not active. is that normal? i also dont see status effects any more, do you guys got a solution for that?

 

thanks in advance.

j.

Not sure if this is related to experimental but my steam overlay isn't working with DayZ anymore. It stopped working about 2 or 3 updates ago. Is anyone else getting this? I've checked the steam settings and the game's preferences. It's on in both. 

It's annoying as I was wanting to take a few quick screenshots of a visual glitch I get with the Kashtan C-1 Scope on my AK74. I'll have to just describe it for now.
With the scope on, there is a long 3D box that goes from the scope to the end of the weapon. When I look through the scope, all I see is the weird box. It's semi transparent and full of white-grey lines and noise. 

 

Is this a known bug? If not, I'll submit a report when I can take a screenshot of it.

Hmm, I remember hearing some complaints about that, but not too recently. It always puzzles me, how DayZ development brings back bugs that were seemingly squashed five updates go. Why do you need the overlay to take a screenshot, just press F12 to take a screenie. And after the session a screenshot window opens in Steam. 

 

I wonder: did the last patch reset anything, or was my car actually found yesterday. I wouldn't be surprised if it was, but my camp is completely untouched otherwise, so either someone was very blind or didn't want a bunch of stuff, a tent, barrel and some guns. I expect they were reset somehow. Can anyone confirm? Maybe they are testing the other spawns? Would be cool to have a few cars at least spawn in the far north, too.

-snip- Why do you need the overlay to take a screenshot, just press F12 to take a screenie. And after the session a screenshot window opens in Steam. 

 

Because that is a function of steam overlay. That functionality is not available to me, that's why it's annoying.

So, didnt play in a while:

 

Now after 3 weeks, is this 0.59 the big throw that was announced, with all the "behind the curtain" improvements? Before the patch it was always reasoned that it takes so long to come out because so many fundamental parts of the game will be changed, are there big graspable changes?

Can't seem to chamber any ammo when I am holding an extra rifle in hand and have one over my shoulder as well.

I had a Winchester on my back, and then found an SKS. As it so happened, I had a couple of SKS mags on me, and tried to load the SKS, but the ammo didn't load.

 

I put down the Winchester, and proceded to put the SKS over my shoulder. I then tried to load the SKS again, and suddenly it worked.

 

You should be able to load ammo whilst holding the rifle... I don't think this is an issue with the automatic pistols like the MP5, I am pretty sure I was able to load the mags for this and the AK74 SU with no problems. This is an issue I have had with the SKS, the Mosin and the various hunting rifles I have found.

 

I have also noted that this problem applies to adding scopes and such to the rifles as well. Is this a known issue?

Yup. we have zombies now :) Totally changes the way you play

[Tatanko 5591]

So I finally gave in and tried the new UI last night purely to test out the performance. I didn't turn on the FPS counter and I distracted my attention with a goal to avoid focusing on how the game felt. Even with that, there was a noticeable improvement. I'll have to go back today and see exactly what the difference in frames is, but it was a bit snappier and more importantly it remained consistent. There wasn't the huge dropoff entering big cities like I normally encounter, and I even went through Novo to really stress it.

 

Not sure i'm ready to use it full time since it's still got some broken functionality (and still needs the Design/Art teams' touch), but I'm very hopeful for the near future.

Did you have any issues with duplicate items? Because I just played an hour and didn't have yesterday's problems. I'm not carrying a chest holster right now though. I get 28-40 frames in Novo, which is fine for me and my hardware. New UI is pretty good, once you get used to it. I also found a car on a spawn I've not seen before.

Didn't do much in the inventory actually. I pretty much just ran around the northeast to see how it "felt." :)

[St. Jimmy 1631]

The difference with the old and new UI for me is that new UI had 63fps and old UI had 57fps. Both of them drops the fps around 6fps when gear menu is open. Tested standing still in a very small village and no movement between the tests.

Aha this happened to me last night when me and a friend were taking fire , funniest damn thing ever .. just double tap or triple tap the left key it should stop !

[Rammit (DayZ) 153]

Has there been any change in performance (for better or for worse) from the beginning of this exp, up until now? What are folks observations on that front?

Yep bugged items are the main problem with this patch.  Reconnecting is the only way to solve it, which is extremely annoying with the 60 second wait timer. I remember in the past experimentals the wait timer was removed for testing why is it back?  The other problem is being able to reproduce the bug.  Besides the initial spawning in with battery issue which always happens. It also happens with many other items but it happens at random times.  Just an issue of object information desync I suppose.

Upvoted. Sadly, looks like us dual core people are in minority and Im afraid devs will stop fixing this issue.

 

 

I did as well for you guys. I know what its like as I was on a dual core AMD processor when Red Orchestra 2 released years ago and the code was not optimized well at all for AMD dual core processors. I would go to extreme lengths to try and squeeze as much FPS as I could get just to enjoy the game. Hang in there. Dev's should help out since they've fixed it once before.  

 

Has there been any change in performance (for better or for worse) from the beginning of this exp, up until now? What are folks observations on that front?

 

The biggest improvement you'll see is if you use the new UI vs. the old. Also in the last update from this week frame rate in and around cities seems to be better. I didn't use fraps or a frame rate tool to see exactly what I was getting but I could noticeably tell there is an improvement.

[Killawife 599]

this is what im on about

I believe this is the same thing as the old red and yellow chain thing that existed in the mod. It tells you when the server loses connection to the hive. I've had it on occasion but it hasn't caused any issues so far. Mainly because I stopped using the newui.
