ImpulZ 2491 Posted June 18, 2019 Hello Survivors, We have just released the initial 1.04 Experimental update. Please use the new DayZ Experimental Client to participate in the Experimental test. Please be especially aware of the new server hopping mitigation method. When switching servers on the same hive, your character will be moved to one of multiple spawn points across the map, designated for server hoppers. This is in order to avoid server hopping for fast loot gathering or combat advantages. Note for console players: While we tried our best, this update 1.04 will NOT be released on consoles at the same time as it will be on PC. This is because of the certification process that the console versions have to undergo. We expect the console updates to be released in July. Note for Server Admins: Please read the changes on the player spawn points in the "Server" section below to avoid complications! 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 and control issues after downloading this update. Consider de-fragmenting your HDD after downloading large updates. 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.

Items cannot be thrown through most windows It is not possible to eject a chambered round via 'R' Individual Servers are rarely not showing up in the server browser - refreshing the server list should fix this. 13 6 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is in order to avoid server hopping for fast loot gathering or combat advantages. One of the main reasons I prefer to play on private hives, but I understand that it is not for everyone, especially new players that just want to get some nice gear etc. My only concern with this is I hope that there are plenty of options for this spawn point, or those that do server hop it's going to get very messy, very quickly 😄 On 6/18/2019 at 11:34 AM, ImpulZ said: Added: Throwing (hold 'G' to activate throwing stance) Added: Grenades (EGD-5, 6-M7, 1-M8, EGD-2, 8-M4 Flashbang) Added: Grenades can be attached to selected vests This is the mission all weekend now! 😄 Edited June 21, 2019 by Madiakz 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After that, we will eventually shut down this outdated option. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FunkInYourTrunk 354 Posted June 21, 2019 a few of the changes are awesome. server hopping deterrence is nice and as it moves u to specific spawns it may make meeting ur friends easier. throwing is nice. but to be honest.... wasnt it hinted that we would be getting a survival patch.....? the only thing survival here is that u can clean the water that wont make u sick anyway. if u do get sick all it will do is make u drink more water..... no fishing still and no word on it whatsoever.... so basically..... hint at a survival patch..... and immediately get to work on adding more guns and ways to kill each other.... again dont get me wrong there is lots of good stuff here...... none the less..... super dissapointed 1 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tim Keyes 21 Posted June 21, 2019 There's one really important thing not mentioned here: Combination Locks. Are they still broken? Will this patch fix them? My entire squad immediately asked the same thing when this was posted. "What about locks?" Literally, that's what making people not want to play, and we aren't getting concrete information on such. Will the combination locks work correctly and stable, like they used to be? ImpulZ, please? 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
