Console Update 1.04

[ImpulZ 2491]

Hello Survivors!

The 1.04 Platform Update of DayZ on Xbox and PlayStation is now live. This update is a combination of the 1.03 and 1.04 updates. The comprehensive new update brings you an expansion of the disease system and gives purpose to several medical items. On the combat side, we've added two new assault rifles from the trusty KA family, the factory-suppressed VSS, as well as an arsenal of grenades as survivors discover their ability to throw items. Furthermore the update includes NVGs and the Universal Flashlight to your Tactical Helmet, and two brand new belt models! Moreover, the infected have upgraded as well!

Server Hopping Mitigation

To avoid players switching servers rapidly to farm the same hotspots multiple times, we've implemented a mitigation that will reset your characters position to a random spawn at the coast when you decide to switch your server. You will receive a warning about that during your login-time.

No Performance Tweaks? Better FPS? Or i missed the Information?

If the performance is not better then before: Good bye DAYZ, 50€ for the A$$ and it would a blame for the DEVs. Over One Year Time (After XBOX Release) and they learned nothing then....

[MarczXD320 171]

Please tell me you guys fixed performance, i go to a big town and check straight away.

Also i hope the loot economy is now back to normal.

Lol, they are still part of the loot economy, so why remove them. Get them stashed for when they do work. It’s a console-specific issue, presumably because they haven’t got a button figured out yet. (It’s L on PC). 

[Markyd 12]

It can bug out that’s all they work but they can bug out... it happens on pc at moment too so let’s not get pissed about that yet as we all in same boat lol let’s hope the fpp is better.... shame no ADS setting tho 

[MarczXD320 171]

''Ability to rotate items in inventory''

Well, this doesnt work because the inventory is still exactly the same as before and nothing changed so i feel that this addition was a copy paste of the PC notes and you guys didn't checked, anyway, i'm just reporting it.

Edit: that was fast, thank you ImpulZ

Edited August 7, 2019 by MarczXD320

[ThePugman 280]

@ImpulZ Also ‘quick bar working in inventory’ is pc-specific. Might wanna delete to avoid confusion.

[MarczXD320 171]

Happy to say: There'a a HUGE improvement in performance on big cities, the buldings are all loading up, no audio issues and the frame is keeping up besides a very, very few occasional dips, also, the game is not freezing. I'm am in elektro but there's definitely performance improvements here, for that, amazing job (original xbox one by the way)

Edited August 7, 2019 by MarczXD320

[ThePugman 280]

@MarczXD320 Sounds good, but it’s hard to tell on a brand new server. Give it a couple of weeks once bases, and stashes have appeared, and the loot economy has settled.

Oh, shoot... here we go again! 

[MarczXD320 171]

Does anyone here who found a zombie with gear managed to grab his equipment ? I think this is the first bug i found in the update, i cannot grab the gear of the zombie, because when it comes to hats no button options appears and in backpacks there's no option to equip and the buttons showed doesn't work.

Edited August 7, 2019 by MarczXD320

[TheDrifT3r_Cz 17]

Yeah bug reports started.. What it is? Unreload weapon on 1st press of triangle? And reload on holding of triangle? Do you even play your game, or any of other shooter? 

Why it can't be conversely? 

And performance on normal PS4 suck.. Now, its even laggy in small village.. (sometimes). And rendering problem are still there

I think this means that it don't have a "ON/OFF" switch... please GOD, tell me i'm right!!1

[GolemNo9 51]

If you put a battery in them and they work and they can not be turned off I'm ok with that. But if you cant use them period , then no not cool

So...which one is it exactly? KA-74, KA-74M or KA-101?

Yeah well, i know, but i just like to point out errors. Especially in a post several days old because of a certain delay, which would have given them enough time to proof read at least once. Show some quality.

Customer care 101: customers are getting very picky with what you say and do after they had one or several bad experiences with you or your company.

[took g 22]

I've been playing the last couple hours. There's definitely an improvement, but it still stutters quite a bit. Nowhere near the improvement I was hoping for, after such a long wait. Playable though, at least for now.
