ImpulZ 2491 Posted March 25, 2019 Hello Survivors, Today we are launching the first Experimental Update for the Patch 1.02. We know you are more or less patiently awaiting every single one of our post-launch updates, and we've been quieter than usual while ramping up to this one. Focus with 1.02 is the return of two high tier weapons and one vehicle. Let's get into the highlights of this update: Olga 24 Once a high end, "Executive" level car, the Olga 24 is a four door Sedan easily able to reach top speeds on the Chernarussian roads. LAR The select-fire rifle LAR is used by specialized military forces. It comes with a 20 round magazine, using .308 caliber bullets. M70 Tundra The M70 Tundra is a bolt-action hunting rifle using .308 caliber ammunition. New & improved weapon attachments Usable backup iron sight of the ATOG Compensator for the Mosin 91/30 Mini Sight (small red dot) RVN sight Individual zeroing of iron sight and telescopic sight for compatible items Clothing Holster and pouch for the plate carrier vest Assault vest and its butt-pack Inventory Ability to move slowly while displaying the inventory Better visualisation of the inventory content Proper scaling of items in the hands slot Ability to have containers as attachment (e.g. pouch on a plate carrier) Various icons and visuals Ability to reorder the inventory containers Other Possibility to kill an infected in melee hit (e.g. with an axe), from the back Changes to night lighting New Noise indicator to encourage stealthy gameplay Patchnotes NOTES It is highly recommended to use the Steam client option to verify the integrity of the local game cache to avoid corrupted data after downloading this update. Consider de-fragmenting your HDD after downloading large updates. Updating a moddable game and its platform is not without risks. We use various methods to communicate upcoming changes to our awesome modding community. We also co-operate directly on troubleshooting, and we offer an opportunity to test updates via our Release Candidate tests. Modders, server administrators and other members of the community do their best to prepare for updates and to address issues post-release as quickly as possible. Please be mindful of some interruptions (especially in the first hours / days after a release) while we all work to improve the game together. In case of problems, please check the Bohemia Interactive support F.A.Q., DayZ F.A.Q., or BattlEye F.A.Q. You can help us to further improve the game by posting your feedback on the Feedback Tracker.

Gobbokirk 546 Posted March 25, 2019 Added: Footsteps sounds for tents Eeeek tents are moving around now!!! Jokes aside, nice update as always 🙂 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amadieus 316 Posted March 25, 2019 Some good stuff in this update! Tons of fixes and a few very important ones, such as tents being more easily placeable on non-flat surfaces and infected not glitching through a player! I like the new weapons and the addition of a new car. I hope that the server performance has been increased noticeably as well! I did expect at least one new feature, like vaulting/climbing or fishing. When can we finally expect a new feature in DayZ? Also, I see no fixes for vehicles in general while the current Lada is still a pretty challenge to drive... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brandon Clinch 50 Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) "Tweaked: Improved quickbar visuals and responsiveness" I hope this solves the issues I had yesterday. I died twice within 1 hour from a non responsive quickbar. I tried to switch to my main weapon but nothing.. Got over swarmed by zombies / shot by a player I would have taken out if the damn quickslots had worked. Edited March 25, 2019 by Brandon Clinch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Jizz 313 Posted March 25, 2019 So the "tapdancing" Lada that occasionally flings around like it's being shaken up by a giant invisible hand - not fixed? Am I reading correctly that RMB goes straight to one's sights rather than simply raising the weapon? Was the V3S abandoned?? I feel like the parts were still spawning as of two patches ago...
