No mention of the PS5 3D audio VOIP volume glitch being fixed. Bummer. 😞

Hi, this one is still being looked into. 

[Masgel 48]

Is this going to be one of the first remarkable updates to focus on fixes and improvements over addons?

FIXED

• Plants could not become infested

What? Infested how? Should I be paranoid of the plants as well? 😄

Bugs, the bug fix added bugs...

[McWendy 675]

For a game that has been out so long and released that is a ridiculous big fix list..... Again. 

Will you guys ever get it right?! Doubtfull.

So I take it that the plants can get rotten due to infestation. Is there any more info on how should this work, please?

I'm guessing they're simulating parasites on plant life. One plant goes rotten (infested) and the rest of the patch follows?

Loving the optimism.

[Thundermight 43]

 That is what i expect, a bug-fix focused patch, instead of a few worthless new features like amusement park (seriously wtf).
 But still, i don't see any major fix to exploit, those which haunts us till this day.
 I'm talking about duplicated items, "secret locations" for hidden storage, storage itself is bad, basebuilding as a whole and so on.
 I see you tweaked barbed wire to be more worthwhile, but still, this is the lesser evil of basebuilding, things like building a watch tower outside to get throught a wall/window that has no physics or that exploit that makes you pass thought wall like shadowcat (you know which one i mean) and i few more that i can't list here w/o making it worst. Those are really gamebreaking, and those should be top priority. Right now any one who knows how to do it, can bring your "weeks of work" down in 15min with a crowbar.
 I know you are aware of cars physics and this is something that is not easily solved, but is always nice to get some update on that matter.
 Cars and basebuilding are dayz's endgame, as heli was for arma2:dayzmod, and right now they are broken as hell and not worthy at all which, in the long run, gives you only 2 options, go to a modded server or, as me and my friends did, quit.

Again nothing about the sun/shadow bug through the trees.

As if placing some new assets on a map will make any difference towards fixing the game

Dies that mean gardens can now be dismantled using shovels or pickaxe on consoles as well? Please fix!

[Josh999 3]

Good afternoon. 

Can we please get back the ability to Double tap the D-pad to lock the chat 💬 . .

I know this doesn’t sound very important considering all the other stuff going on, but it’s a problem for the console players not being able to move properly and chat at the same time. .

( especially for me only playing with one hand 😂 )

Who knows. . it might improve first encounters so we don’t start shooting before asking questions 😂😂 ( I doubt it )

All the best 

Josh

Previously, there was a % chance plants would get little white bugs on them during their growth. You could remove the infestation with disinfectant spray. I can't remember what happened if you didn't treat your infested plants, it could have been either lower yield, rotten produce or slower growth.

yes it clearly states that garden plots can be removed with a shovel. 

[C_meyers1 0]

Clearly doesn't state under console but thank you for your comment.

ADDED

• Starting a vehicle engine now slightly depletes the battery

 

Okay, fine. But then driving the car needs to charge the battery too. I refuse to believe there is not a single vehicle in Chernarus with functional generator...

(aye, the battery charge only goes one way...down)

[DayzDayzFanboy 1280]

Is this update on console experimental servers too?

List of changes is for all platforms. Console specific changes are added where necessary and usually only deal with interface and console specific bugs.

[lvw06 36]

Still nothing concerning an effective anti-cheat and which would finally make it possible to eradicate the cheaters which are in very large number on private servers (Runningmanz, WFR RU and many others) ...

literally the first thing on the listed listed as fixed lol 

[-FN- 2]

Great list of fixes! Love the addition of being able to remove garden plots.

Is this update slated for this month? And is there anything in it that will address the increasing Magic Bullet issue on Official servers? Obv we don't need details, but hopefully some fixes on that front are baked in. #1 killer of the game atm!
