Basebuilding & Vehicles Update

[RaptorM60 392]

Hello Survivors! 

Today, we're releasing the biggest update of DayZ since launching in Game Preview! It's truly massive and changes the game quite significantly - for this reason, it's necessary to do a complete wipe of all characters and server persistence. But it'll be worth it ;) The update is out now and the servers should be starting - please restart your Xbox Once if you're not getting an update prompt. Here are the highlights of the update:

• new vehicle: ADA 4x4 + parts and other necessary items
• base building + necessary items to make it work (tools, planks, nails...)
• added some missing controls (freelook, walking, switching fire mode, gun zeroing)
• fixed various issues with hit registration of firearms
• changed the weather setup to feature less rain ;)
• new shotgun + ammo
• tents and barrels for making improvised camps and loot stashes
• improved nighttime (don't throw away those road flares everyone! You'll need them ;)
• lots of other new items configured for spawning in the Central Economy
• slightly increased numbers of infected

There are most likely going to be various issues with the update, but for now, these are already known to us:

• NEW: Despite changes to weather configuration, servers still seem to get stuck on nighttime/heavy rain
• NEW: Performance issues especially in larger towns
• maps can be picked up and opened, but you can not navigate in them (controls are missing)
• vehicle controls may be too sensitive at times

Awesome work to the Ladies & Gentleman on the DayZ Xbox Dev Team! We are all ecstatic about all the new content and gameplay mechanics (But the rain why'd you reduce the rain's visuals, it was perfect and very relaxing on those long journeys :( but kudos to the other weather effects) and next thing we need guys are the ballistic vests with pouches and holsters, balaclavas, gas masks, eyewear and fast helmets! Please!? I'm anticipating those items for my character's appearance but also the functionality of the holsters and pouches on the ballistic vest!

Anyway thanks again for this amazing update! You guys deserve more praise than most give you.

When they say heat comfort and disease effects, does this mean diseases are in the game now or is this just visual effects. 

[xzDIABLOzx 157]

Sensory overload! Can't wait to try out the new stuff tonight. Great work you guys.

[Lambicus 25]

Raptor, do you know whether there is a hold breath control yet? It's one of the big things I've been waiting for as it's nearly impossible to shoot long range without it.

[MarczXD320 171]

There are some SERIOUS (and i really mean It) performance issues in this update.

When you first set foot on a city the game literally becomes unplayable.

And along the performance issues the sound is also delayed.

[BrPneu 3]

 

Ok, here is my opinion by playing about just 20 minutes (xbox one X):

- Game crashes 2 times just opening the inventory

- FPS its terrible, LOW FPS in cities

- Texture bugs in trees, houses, zombies

- Free look are pretty weard. Pressing right stick? Really?

- Inventory are much better, unless when crash the game

- The color of stamina bar are almost the same of the bar, i almost cant see the stamina decreasing.

 

It's all for now. But for 20 minutes, its a lot of things.

I can't wait to try it out.

 

Two questions though:

1. Is it hard to destroy a base? If we are not playing for 8 hours..will it take less for a gang to get some axes and chop the base to pieces?

2. When will server resets/wipes happen? How long can you have a base?

Even if the mosin is still broken I love the update

Nope just the green full face 3 hole version so far

[Arctic Volkssturm 95]

Avoid the nameless hockey helmet, moving it around your inventory causes crash

yeah. its really bad in towns with it taking a long time to load items in, its worse than when PUBG first came out on xbox. and the sound , i thought someone was in the building with me. 

[Man Parts 241 686]

Now THIS is an update log detailing what's in the update. You sir, are a godsend!

Take notes, Baty, this is how it's done.

On topic: Laterz. Got me a game to play, shit to loot, and a base to build.

Great timing btw! ;)

[GreezeModeSnipez 9]

@DayZ Update has many issues, and crashes randomly, but the 10 minutes i've experienced so far, it feels so different. But in a good way, rendering and frame rate needs to be fixed and crashing has to be top priority! As for minor issues some items of clothing and equipment are missing textures. Buildings and environment are texture popping (especially the vehicles, trees, vegetation and the ground) and rendering is really bad, frame rates are between 5-14 FPS (estimated) game crashes trying to join servers unexpectedly. I know you guys are aware of the BK-113 causing the game to crash. Sound de-sync issues, weapon sound issues, also now the new controls have been implemented there is no way to swap shoulders. Please take time to address these issues and don't rush to please everyone, because they'll always find something to cry about. 

Keep up the great work!
