Xbox Launch Update 1.01

Recommended Posts

Dear Survivors! Just now we have released the Xbox Launch Update 1.01, marking our departure from the Xbox Game Preview. It is the first in a series of free platform updates that are going to be released throughout the year, to further improve the DayZ experience. The 1.01 update brings two new firearms, important fixes and performance optimisations, as well as a general overhaul to the controls scheme.

New Firearms

With each Platform Update, we're aiming to expand the variety of content available in the game. Our choice for 1.01 were two classic 7.62x39 rifles: the SK 59/66 and the CR-527, also supported by the introduction of the Hunting Scope!

SK 59/66

A ten-shot semi-automatic rifle fed from an internal magazine. It is an older model, but still reliable, using 7.62x39mm rounds. Can be equipped with a PU scope and an improvised suppressor.

CR-527

A bolt-action hunting rifle, fed from a detachable magazine. It's light-weight and accurate when used at intermediate ranges. Uses 7.62x39mm rounds. Can be equipped with a Hunting Scope and an improvised suppressor.

Persistence Fixes

Undesirable persistence wipes were definitely among the most annoying issues reported in the previous patch. With 1.01, we're introducing a system of Persistence Backups that aims meant to prevent problems with saving of the persistence data on the servers.

 

Performance Optimizations

Good server performance is critical to ensure an enjoyable DayZ gameplay experience. In 1.01, our programmers have made some solid progress on that front. Official servers running at full capacity with 60 concurrent players should no longer be witnessing flying cars and other shenanigans on a regular basis.

We also made definite improvements when it comes to client-side performance (FPS) during several stages of the game.

 

New status indicators & damage tweaks

As a first step towards balancing the health and damage systems, we've added new icon status indicators that better communicate bleeding damage and the effect of medication (for example, the vitamins will now boost your immune system). 

We've also made some adjustments to the player damage, with the most visible example being the reintroduction of a bleeding damage penalty when walking barefoot. Furthermore, we removed the chance variable for bleeding damage dealt by bullets. Now, every bullet scratch causes bleeding 100 percent of the time.

 

Improved Controls Scheme

We have reworked the controls scheme to fit the multitude of actions possible in DayZ to the controller. That includes the new mechanics leaning and hold breath:

  • press RB/LB when you are in a raised stance with a firearm, to lean around corners
  • if you are in a raised stance with fists (or melee), press RB and LB to execute a dodge move
  • hold Left Stick when in iron sight to hold your breath and aim more precisely

50+ other changes and tweaks

In addition to the highlights, we've introduced over 50 other changes and tweaks that make DayZ a better game. Read the full changelog below!

I ain't gonna lie. Besides no fix for duping, i'm impressed with what I just read. And i'm sure there's a bunch more that's not listed. Still, gg, BI.

I'm at 16% fml

Leaning should be LS and RS. Controller scheme still needs work. Just saying.

How on f%/$# earth is possible for you guys to NOT implement a good controller layout???!! 

Lean with rb/lb? Scope on right d-pad?? R3?? 

FFS, is it that hard to try other games in both 3rd and 1st person to understand what works best? 

We play on a controller with muscle memory, why screw it up? 

Here.. Let me do it for you:

RT = fire

LT = aim

RB = free look

LB = fire selector

LS press = sprint

RS press = hold breath

Y = take to hands ( when in game world)

X = reload

A = jump

B = crouch/ prone

LT + LS press = lean left

LT + RS press = lean right

And from there they could add combined buttons, menu buttons etc

No offense but the new controller layout made the game unplayable, I gave up after 10 minutes of fooling around trying to get it to feel natural with the elite conroller. No can do.

- Zooming shouldn't be TOGGLE, LEANING should've been toggle, how on earth can you shoot while leaning to the right? And the awkwardness of leaning left and shooting? You devs are facing a proper shit storm because of these changes. Maybe listen to our suggestions, the people who knows how to put a steak on a stick ffs. 

- You can't zoom while freelooking first. NICE ONE!!

- Swapping X/Y, you kidding me right? After all these months we've gotten used to it.

- Can't equip 1st item in your quickwheel with Y...

- While prone and in inventory the character rolls with bumbers

- Taking an item to hand from inventory moves your 'cursor' to your hands, when before it stayed where you took out the item

- You can not equip an item from the ground it needs to be put in your inventory first

Quickwheel didn't need to be changed it's not like you can move anyway when accessing the menu so maybe you should've leave the ADS on RB instead!

------------------------------------

LEANING = LT + LS/RS (click) - Make it toggle!

LS (click) = Hold Breath while in scope

LT + RB = Iron sight
LT + LB = Scope

LB = Zoom
RB = Freelook

X and Y - As they were!

Quickwheel back to where it was. There you go, no need to thank me! Free of charge!

I was getting really fearful for the development of DayZ earlier this year, so I had decided to just not play the game until its release. I will admit that I even joined in on the DayZ hate bandwagon at times, as people do when they feel their voice is insignificant. I can't apologize for the Xbox Community as a whole, but I can apologize for myself. I'm sorry that as a self proclaimed DayZ fan, I let my impatience get the better of me and discontinued my faith and support of DayZ's development. Even when I kept up with the occasional update, I was trepid of it's proposed release date on Xbox, since we saw what PC got on their release. But I realized that you guys at Bohemia are probably used to such fickle fanbases and I thank you for continuing DayZ development to bring us this release on Xbox. I think its safe to say that even your harshest, most ignorant, hate spewing critics were waiting for this release like all the rest of us; because the promise of your game is just that good. If DayZ can have just an inkling of the performance stability you guys speak of, then it would already be better than 75% of games on the Xbox Market. I have never played a game like DayZ in terms of role-playing survivability, and you'll be surprised how much a diverse game like DayZ is needed on the Xbox Market. But now I'm rambling and getting off topic which is TLDR; Sorry for being a hater Bohemia, and thank you for the release update of DayZ.

P.S. I also understand the need to make a game different in terms of controller mechanics, but I mirror other peoples' concerns on the proposed controller scheme. Some of those button mappings still really don't make the best gaming sense, and they feel almost as if they're just forced differences to branch away from games like PubG. Again, I understand that but sometimes the tried and trued methods work best and don't really need to be changed up.. 

EX. Leaning on sticks instead of bumpers. And Im not sure what "press to use scope" means, but off the top of my head, it doesn't really sound like something that would feel comfortable on the R D-Pad

Maybe I missed it, but I did not see anything regarding fixes or tweaks for the bleed through issues with headgear and face masks? The last time that I played anytime you would equip a face mask parts of my characters face would bleed through the mask and hair was bleeding though hats. If you tried to equip a hat and a face mask it was horrible looking.  I really hope this was fixed for a full launch.

Controller lay out is garbage, Xbox player should be able to vote best lay out idea or concepts. Way to clunky same with inventory.

are keybored compatible now or nah 

Shouldn’t you be playing pc if it’s more comfortable for you? In my idea that’s the whole point of console is to use a controller .

I had very little issues with the new controller layout after a while. I don’t particularly like it but with practise I’m sure it will be fine. Bits that need looking at though:

 

binos didnt work

rolling when lying down trying to move to inventory

no zoom change when lying down 

no locked servers

being unable to talk in game whilst in a party - I know this wasn’t and isn’t part of a plan but to make it compatible to PC is integral - I have a few thousand hours on PC version and this is really important to reducing KoS gaming

unable to come out of inventory unless in hand selected

New bugs from items that used to work

*Canned tuna can not be opened 

*Binoculars does not work at all, atleast not on 1st person server, don’t know if its different on 3rd person servers. Press to look through but the character just hold up the binoculars. 

*pso-1 scope can not be "turned off", before entering scope i had the iron sight underneath, hit the scope button and can not switch back. 

*Controller scheme... crap.

Enjoying a lot of the additions, great work by the team. There's a few issues iv'e spotted already, Emptying one continer into another now means two extra button pushes to switch back to original container, down them X, can be frustrating moving items from one bag to another when there's multiple items, small issues. Not a big fan of having Zoom and free look bound to same button, now i have to zoom in then free look around for a clearer look at my surroundings when on the move. doesn't feel as fluid but im sure for all standard controller users this is still an upgrade from previous key binding. Also the FPS, rendering & sound simulation issues in large coastal towns is still very poor, in fact im getting an increase in situations where i totally desync, cannot open doors or even aggro zombies & drop to almost zero FPS. Anyone else having this issue? A few northern towns felt smoother like Sevrograd but Electro and Chernogorsk were still pretty unplayeable fro me on a OG Xbox one. great fix to not being able to micromanage up & down in inventory, plus being able to minimise containers and scroll past them is a great fix. Not sure how i feel about the removal of Y for quickly drawing items in the top slot of the quick wheel, but i assume this will be alleviated by the 1.02 update where moving whilst in inventory and quick wheel will be implemented? Some fun additions & good fix and QoL changes but the server performance and game optimisation is still lacking, i'd hoped for a significant improvement in larger cities but guess ill still be hanging around in the middle of nowhere to maintain frames & a low blood pressure lol
