Experimental Update 0.63.149597

[ImpulZ 2491]

Hello Survivors,

we have a new update for you on the Experimental branch, aiming to fix some of the most annoying issues on the current Stable version. We will have this version run over night to uncover possible issues, so storm the Experimental servers and test what you can! Let us know about possible issues here or on our Feedback Tracker at feedback.dayz.com.

Please keep in mind that Experimental updates are not available for server files or modding tools yet. Those will be updated with the Stable release of the patch.

KNOWN ISSUES

• Server crashes can cause a persistence wipe. So especially for server owners, try to work with regular persistence backups and if you encounter server crashes, report with your crash dumps to our Feedback Tracker.
• Voice chat can become dysfunctional for characters in groups of 3+

Notes

• Consider using the Steam client option to verify the integrity of the local game cache to avoid corrupted data after downloading this update.
• In case of problems, please check the Bohemia Interactive support F.A.Q., DayZ F.A.Q., or BattlEye F.A.Q.

Is anything being done about he amount of rain on pc?

[mjf6866 22]

Does "time persistence after server restart" address the disappearing bases and other persistent items?

 

thanks

I don't think so.

It sounds like it means servers will retain their current time at restart rather than starting over at dawn.

I think dayz means the disappearance of bases

[ChypressSweet 14]

think dayz means the complete disappearance of tents, bases, barrels

Damn.  I REALLY want to tell my buddies to come back but I know if bases still disappear they will want no part of it.  I want to have a home in the game in the worst way.

are door states ever going to be persistent? if lockpicks can wear out then there's a lot of emergent gameplay from that whole idea especially if you can't shoot/punch open doors.

[Akarias303 9]

Heads up, I found recently that you MUST have the gear set to reverse/the lowest gear possible before starting your engine in a vehicle, otherwise there seems to be a desync between the client and server as to what gear is expected. You will be suck in neutral or have a offset of what gear you should actually have.

The amount of rain can be adjusted on community servers in the init.c file. We have disabled rain at all. You are then probably play on a community server (?) that has rain still enabled at a specific amount.

Example:

	Weather weather = g_Game.GetWeather();

	weather.GetOvercast().SetLimits( 0.0 , 1.0 );
	weather.GetRain().SetLimits( 0.0 , 0.0 );
	weather.GetFog().SetLimits( 0.0 , 0.25 );

	weather.GetOvercast().SetForecastChangeLimits( 0.5, 0.8 );
	weather.GetRain().SetForecastChangeLimits( 0.0, 0.0 );
	weather.GetFog().SetForecastChangeLimits( 0.05, 0.10 );

	weather.GetOvercast().SetForecastTimeLimits( 3600 , 3600 );
	weather.GetRain().SetForecastTimeLimits( 000 , 000 );
	weather.GetFog().SetForecastTimeLimits( 3600 , 3600 );

	weather.GetOvercast().Set( Math.RandomFloatInclusive(0.0, 0.3), 0, 0);
	weather.GetRain().Set( Math.RandomFloatInclusive(0.0, 0.0), 0, 0);
	weather.GetFog().Set( Math.RandomFloatInclusive(0.0, 0.1), 0, 0);

Hello! thanks for moving forward with the game.  My main issue I continually see is Magazines, and Suppressors being locked to your gun. 

Here are a few findings on the KA-M:

• Magazine cannot be swapped from hotbar, even with enough space to replace the swap
  • Basically it's as if the magazine was fused with the gun
• Suppressor locked to weapon, cannot remove
• PSO-1 on KA-M
  • When zoomed and prone, the scope shows a black screen most likely due to clipping
    • removed hat, glasses, mask with the same problem

When did your tent base or barrel last disappear? I haven't heard any reports of disappearing since before last patch.

Than you gotta lot of luck out there. I tried building bases on different servers, communitys and officials. After the random amount of 1-3/4 days the base is completly gone. No joke.

Tested on the latest and actual stable patch.

If you report it to the server owners of the community servers they can send the persistence files to Bohemia so they can investigate of before and after removal of your base.

Nope. I reported it to the game devs in personal. It's their development. :-)
Event tho, I already reported this "bugging" to the server owners, excluding offical servers.

That's a different patch. I'm talking about the actual stable patch. Patchnotes from the yet released exp. patch does not include any persistence bugs about bases.
