Experimental Update 1.04.151915

[ThePugman 280]

@ImpulZ Can we get an explanation on some of the medical stuff? Most players are experiencing a constant sickness? Is it a bug (lol), is it for testing purposes so we try the medical stuff?

It appears to be an issue when drinking from a well. But someone said it might be from zed attacks? 

I’ve done some digging on the medical side in the old version of the game. Apparently, fever was a thing you could get from zed attacks. Is the new fever different to the old one? If so what is it? 

There doesn’t appear to be many penalties to this sickness. Occasional vomiting, and that’s it.

I also see influenza and fever are mentioned separately, so I presume they aren’t the same? 

Thanks

Yeah, it would be useful to know how it's supposed to work in order to identify bugs...

This is just so awesome If all of this going to be in the next update of the game.!.

So much we asked for, it looks like you actually listened to community now and right away very properly( bug with filtering in settings, map, mag reload, hints in game,AWFUL SERVER HOPING finally got dealt with in some way)and because of lacking of stuff like this I personally deleted the game. Now it feels like it actually does worth 34$ I spent on it.
I guess what's left is to organize servers better in the menu( Like U.S west east etc) and fix more bugs with doors sometimes not opening properly, make inventory menu better, increase people to 100 for server, so new people actually going to play for more than a week ,because right now many have no idea where to look for people and can't find them anywhere on full servers  and stop playing, let us jump through fences, add some proper character customization which stays, like create guy and make the same character be for every server even when he dies spawns same way just empty, because I hate dying and then spawning as a girl or having different character on every server. and other stuff .
And then this game going to get more positive reviews on steam , rather than mixed, and might flourish again when everyone thought it is done!

Oh and I forgot, we need something like a bicycle in game which is more common then a car, because maaany people stop playing due to wasting half time on just running.

I'm holding my horses a little tighter than you because of past experiences but yeah, the content is pretty good and it's going the right direction. Hope they do the stuff you say. And fix HWAA causing black screen. And fix items falling through the floor. And fix static HUD overlay caused by changing settings and rejoining a server. And fix zombie loot LOD issues. And fix the "change stance" key being unreliable inside many (if not all) structures.

It's on experimental and I hope that they fix these before it's pushed to stable but at the same time I'm willing to bet, that it will not, as that has been the case with previous patches that were then fixed in hotfixes in the patch-following week, despite the fact, that the issues were reported thoroughly AND acknowledged/assigned on the feedback tracker. We will see...

When you throw an item it disappears through the ground almost every time.

I actually got sick from drinking from a well of all things.. is this indeed a bug or any and all water sources could be contaminated and such now need decontamination tablets to be safe? you can get sick quite easy actually, drinking from creeks etc.. zed infection I remember will be a thing which is why there is the syringe and medical vial (treatment of condition) once infected, one would display zombie looking features (turning), vomiting blood etc.. and if left untreated player will ultimately die leaving their body to become one of the infected zombies (as it would in a zombie outbreak).

Features and improvements planned for BETA/1.0, or originally in 0.62, but moved post 1.0

• Helicopters [   ]
  • we've arrived at the decision that base building implementation will provide enough of an end goal for players, so helicopters can be added later on
• Climbing over obstacles [   ]
  • this feature required additional programming and animation support that we've decided to invest more effectively into other parts of the game 
• Throwing items [✔]
  • throwing requires a lot of additional specialist work on physics and network synchronization, and we'd rather invest that into vehicles and other features
  • this includes throwable weapons like grenades or smoke grenades
• Bows [   ]
  • the implementation of bows means an introduction of a completely new weapon type on 0.63 and was always a risky goal, in the end unfortunately not achievable in 2018; we've invested the programming time into gun play, melee combat, vehicles and other core features that were more important
• Character and infected ragdoll [   ]
  • unfortunately, there are many network synchronization cases that we need to resolve and implementing ragdolls in combination with death animations will require more time and resources
• Two-way doors [   ]
  • while a huge quality of life improvement, changing the doors to two way opening will require additional rework of some of the assets, and is not achievable in 2018
• Fishing and fish traps, decaying bodies, carrying characters, contaminated areas, item coloring etc. [   ] [   ] [   ] [   ] [   ]
  • these are considered flavor features and for now, work on core gameplay features was prioritized instead

Great update so far and one step closer to fullfilling the list of planned post 1.0 features. I noticed a little issue with the "change stance" function (default "c") sometimes being unreliable to get you back to standing. Anyone else having that issue?

Really really want to see players able to be carrying and dragging players bodies or infected bodies and body decay features and zombie infection to players and ultimately turning them..... into another zombie leaving player to re-spawn as if they died and players body becoming a zombie....

@Tom_48_97  Interesting to see the file worlds_test_ce.pbo looking to manage CE via .pbo file and not in the missions folder, seems sensible idea now with verify sigs working, makes things more secure one can establish.

Side note with all the activating of functions being enabled will this now make Battleye BEC work properly as its intended to?, eg.. bad names, bad words, whitelisting, admin lists etc,..? Im a strong supporter of BEC and being an extension of BI nominated anti-cheat program Battleye,  Id love to see this fully working again in all its glory, Regards.

Well, as you can see in the bottom of this official list out of one of the last made status reports from around October 2018 I believe, decaying bodies, as well as carrying bodies/characters are planned features and thus will come, since there hasn't been any update or altercation regarding this list, that I'm aware of.

As for your idea of turning players, I believe that it is very unlikely we will be seeing anything like this. The reason for that is, that the dev team has in fact uploaded a "gameplay trailer" that get's a tiny little bit into the "lore" of the game, which it feels almost sacrilegious using this big word for the naked skeleton we should refer to as the "story of DayZ". Anyhow, I digress...The female voice says around 0:17, that "you are one of the few immune to the virus, but that's where your luck runs out...". So yeah, that pretty much kills that idea unless they decide at some point to overturn this, but for the moment they have shown a clear stance regarding the subject of player "zombification".

Here's the video for ya:

1.03 was definitely pushed too early (released on Friday, out on Wednesday, iirc).

I think that was probably due to the BI anniversary sale, which happened the same week.

This patch seems pretty good, apart from the bugs you’ve listed. Let’s hope the fixes are simple enough.

A valid point but it would be logical to still be able to get infected or just sick perhaps, but getting turned into a zombie kind of completes the circle of it all, instead of going "I am legend" stylez which seems a cure is in fact being pointed at as a full circle, Im sure we would rather be turned or head shotted as oppose to finding a cure which would set DayZ apart from most other games I think. Or it is too hard for the Devs to implement this type of cycle maybe, as with ragdoll physics?

[digitalv0id 10]

I think it is hilarious how all the console players feel entitled to all the updates and they must have them. This was a PC game first and the master race has been waiting a hell of a lot longer for these updates than you have. I think the dev team should send the console plebs back to .63 for a year before they get more updates. Then at least their complaints will be valid. Obviously they know nothing of development. I'm sure Bohemia would love to add you to their team so you can get console players these updates.

Thanks for all your hard work and I look forward to the future of DayZ!

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!

Haa yea IKR when you have over 3k hrs on the PC since 2014 and when console users be like "cant take this shit I bought a console just to play this!" dribble they rant,... PC is/should/always will be the first and upmost priority for new feature/implementations etc... I remember back in the early access was a time where just spamming r key spat out tonnes on pristine ammo... oh the firefights back then..... 😏  Not many players where throwing hissy fits about that too much now were they...

My mind is still blown as to why they did this, since .63 this has been the case, I used to get copyright infringements for the wood pecker sound DayZ used to have in it on my youtube, fought and won each and every appeal I made of them too.

Was watching HappyBombs on Twitch -- same thing happened to him -- you have to close down the game and then delete your config folders (/My Documents/DayZ and {username}/AppData/Local/DayZ).  After that, verify your game files.

That worked for him anyway.

 Not only that, but for me also whenever I change settings quit the game and run it again the screen is black. I can see UI but nothing else.

Yes, there are a minority of console players who are very vocal about what they are entitled to. 

There are also a minority of PC players who, for some reason, think they are superior because they have a PC. 

Gee, people are funny.

Sorry, I tried, but I don't understand. How would it be logical to still be able to get infected? If you are immune, you are immune. As for ragdolls, those are on the list of planned features as well, like I said. I've posted this list several times. I can post it again if you want. You can also find it in the status report from october 2018 I believe.

We don't know anything about how the actual virus is transmitted. Classic zombies transfer via bites, which would lead to the first question, why zeds in this game don't attack with grabbing and bites but instead, with these retarded swinging and clubbing animations, which I believe are still inspired by Dean Halls most retarded mocap session period @5:58 and yeah, it get's even worse @7:15

[Private Evans 1303]

Yeah one of the horrible bad design decisions made by the devs in charge after Dean left was to completely cut out any background lore or even worse to make it very basic ,simple and half assed as so many other things.

here is the original lore written by Dean hall and his brother

On 12 March 2013, a prion disease and spreads among the worlds population triggering a global pandemic The disease causes proteins in the brain to be replaced with prions ceasing regular function Most people progress to dementia and then death as the brain is replaced with ineffective sludge 86% of the worlds population die some survive with the disease in a chronic state. Lacking regular brain function, they are scarely human. They are unable to communicate, driven by insatiable desire for violence, and attracted to the scent of those uninfected Society crumbles as the pandemic spreads rapidly You are one of the 2% who are not infected yet

they even had a name for that thing ...

and this is why I hate so much what this game has become...so many bad design decisions beside the missing lore...no more writing notes, no world containers, no contaminated zones..not becoming infected and no finding a cure...horrible map design (looks nice though) ..no crafting benches...no finding letters and clues about the virus and the outbreak...no advanced cooking...no drugs and alcohol...a horrible unimmersive base building system...anyone remember the original concepts of underground hideouts ?? even simply barricading would have been more immersive than these childish wild west style forts 😞 Making the coast and its iconic cities boring and oversized and forcing the players to go north just to create somekind of endgame is also pure nonsense...same goes for the airfields..there are no real hotspots  crawling with zombies and deadly snipers lurking in the shadows...just more or less empty places

all the real cool stuff is missing or was cut out and I am not speaking about a few fucking guns and vehicles..or fishing or a bow...fuck that ! I am speaking about cool and immersive gameplay mechnices instead of 0815 battle royal shit...

honestly for me this game has nothing to do with its original idea any more...but as it seems it is doing well with a more or less newer player base that I guess does not even know what  this game was planned to be years ago...

 

one more rant over 🙂

Yes well Devs kinda locked themselves in with the immune thing, but who knows they way the game has changed its still possible,.. I remember when zeds used to attack you like you were being infected, They might just go with the immune thing to solve many extra animations and mechanics that would be needed, but it wouldnt take very much and those animation and mocap was way before the enfusion engine was built so maybe its possible.

I suppose you're right I feel entitled to a full game after paying for a "full release". I guess I'm not use to the new era of game development that charges full price for half, in some instances 1/4, of a game only to release a "season pass" at the same price for the rest of the game. Granted BI isn't charging for the new content, which credit where it's due. The way in which games are released today doesnt seem to be the exception but the rule. Gone are the days of delaying a project until it was truly a complete game experience, with few exceptions. Now we see more and more titles being pushed out half-assed in order to turn some kind of profit at cost to the end game and experience. However I dont think the infighting amongst the player base is going to do anything constructive and merely create a greater artificial divide that is so apparent between gaming systems. Video games are a form of art, a way to tell an interesting and captivating story meant to immerse the player into the world that the dev's have created. Personal preferences and beliefs aside, I feel more customers in the industry today can agree this isn't the right way to conduct business.

Well said.

If only the suits holding the bags of money had enough integrity to believe and follow this way of thinking, video games would be in much better shape, no doubt.

Sadly, the bottom line is always $$$$$$$.
