Fixed the damage calculation of the shotgun when using pellet ammunition

I would really like to know more about this fix and what exactly has changed. Even a rough basic summary would be greatly appreciated. 

Should we expect the pellets to be doing more damage or less damage in general?
Is the fix to the calculation related to hits on specific body parts?
Were multiple pellet hits to different parts of the body not being added up properly?
Is this fix concerning damage to the player or the damage to gear and the items inside them, or both?

So many questions....

FIX VEHICLES!

[matty_21ps 5]

Pretty annoyed about the weapon additions 2 pistols,really? So sick of all the role play bullshit you keep adding. We need different allied  assault rifles and snipers and scopes(night vision) more attachments like grips for rifles and please add in the ability to adjust the range on iron sights m4 is 25m any Russian rifle is 100m the lar is 200m, F*CK ME seriously 200m for iron sites. Wasted update.

UPDATE

• Added the NBC Respirator

All in all a nice update (although I would have liked to see broken bones or improvised bow in there too, but you can't get everything) but the thing above confuses me.

Why add more NBC stuff when there are no NBC threats?

The only way it would make a little sense is if actual contamination zones are planned for a (soon) upcoming update after 1.09, but then wouldn't it make more sense to add this thing with the same update? This way it is a little like in 1.0 when V3S parts were spawning across the world - but the truck itself was nowhere to be seen (and here we are more than 1 1/2 years later and the V3S is still not in the game...)

So, again, a really nice minor update. But I think a lot of us are wondering just why the V3S is still not back in the game?

What would the point be of adding yet another movable deathtrap/space shuttle/ocean submersible to the game?

No, we need more civilian and police weapons for a better character progression. Hopefully we see the MP133, PM73 and Trumpet before they start adding the Aug/M249. I do kinda fancy the Bizon though.

What about consoles modding? When we got init.c file, then we can build normal? Thanks

No, the vanilla game really doesn't need more military hardware of any kind whatsoever. There are enough pewpew toys as it is, while the survival parts of the game stood back throughout nearly the entire first year after 1.0 while various AR variants were added every update. If you want a bezillion different AR:s and whatnot there are literally hundreds of modded servers out there with just that kind of thing. Vanilla DayZ doesn't need more at this point, with one exception - the atlas bipod and using objects/terrain as support.

I have no flying car problems whatsoever, that has more to do with what servers you play on than anything else. But yes - car simulation less likely to go haywire at slightest hint of low server fps and/or poor connection should be a priority issue.

Absolutely. There are only two things I really want to see added to DayZ above all else for many years now, and unfortunately they both require a lot of work. An ArmA 3-style weapon resting system, and the ability to carry/drag uncon or dead players short distances. 

A man can dream, can't he? And a longtime DayZ player doubly so

I’m happy with the way this update sounds, honestly, I appreciate the work to fix the game over any crazy new content, one thing I would like to mention, is about cars. I’ve easily put over 1,000 hours into Dayz on Xbox, it’s not the easiest game at times, but I honestly love it and have enjoyed it, and throughout those 1,000+ hours, I’ve gone through a lot of cars, not sure how many, but all have been on official servers, and the smoothest, least laggy/buggy experiences I’ve had with them, is on 1st person servers. I have no clue why this is, if I had to guess it has to do with buildings, and assets loading. For example, I just wiped 3 people at tisy military base with my friends, and the guys we wiped had a Olga, we took what loot from them that we could carry on us and in the car, and I’m not kidding, I averaged 90+ kph all the way to novodimitrivorsk, without a single stutter and there was three others in the car with me, and this was all on a first person server, and my Xbox one, not a X or S, is wireless to the internet. Long story short, I’d suggest if you decide to work with “fixing” the cars, for some reason they drive, and operate wayyyy better on 1st person servers.

My understanding is that pellet ammo damage had been broken so this is more of a fix for that bug.

Sounds like you'd rather play COD.

Is it me or do i see very few official servers running 1.09?

Are they testing the queue?

Ran smooth for me with about two hours of gameplay.   The only bug I encountered was when I de-constructed an improvised backpack.  It only dropped sticks.  No rope or sack.

Oh and the small hammer still won't mine stones.

Can you expand upon that? Broken in what way? I've been digging around in the code and watching it evolve almost since SA first came out, but with the sheer amount of changes, additions and fixes over the years, and all the layers of past versions of the code in my head, and the jumble of fixes for bugs within other fixes over time, I'm bound to lose track of things here and there.

IIRC, this may not be a bug. The "break down item" code has been tweaked a number of times over the years, but for quite a while (come to think of it, not so much in recent patches) there was a bit of RNG in what you get back when taking apart a crafted item. Sometimes you would take apart an improvised fishing rod or improvised backpack and sometimes you'd get the rope back, sometimes you didn't. 

So it might be a bug, or they re-enabled the RNG for it intentionally.

As I understand it only fired half the number of pellets of what it was supposed to, so it wasn't doing anywhere near the damage it should.

[Kathosky 102]

I have jumped around an hour and these are my first impressions:

• The new assets, although not a bunch, they add variety to the existing ones.
• Car wrecks doors now open like they should.
• I have noticed that vitamins, pills, chlorine tablets... all had the maximum quantity when I found them. Since in the last update these quantities were randomized, could this be a bug? This was while in Tarnow, in the medical building and its surroundings.

Well two, there's a Livonia server too. But not a single 1PP only server worldwide. This has been the standard Expy setup the last few updates, they probably want to make sure they get the patch tested under high server load, to find the sort of bugs that only surface under those conditions. They can't test that in-house, and better full exp servers than a broken stable patch. There's bound to be a few community expy servers too though.

Cars are server sided... that means find a server hosted on fast CPU / Processor... and nice internet connection for both of you...  and have your ingame fps not under 30 lol

Asset loading is really the console fault... like current gen consoles are literally sooo old and the CPU / Processor inside is an old AMD one which was literally outdated when it got out of the factory and designed too.. and also consoles hace 8gb of RAM and split that up between memory for your GPU / Graphics Unit... your Operating System... and the game has like 4gb ram left to work with... maybe 5gb... DayZ uses like 6-10gb alone and also assets that are loaded in... they stay in... so it further fills up memory... i recommend restarting your game every 60 minutes 🙂 like full restart of the game... best way to do this 100% guarenteed is shut the console down xd

That's a feature... you don't always get all the material for deconstructing stuff... 

Idk about the hammer
