When are old clouds and night sky cupola be back?

Recommended Posts

I just saw the screenshots in the Steam DayZ page, which I suppose are from the 1.0 release, and they have the famous volumetric clouds that used to be in the game back then. I know they were replaced with some more basic ugly sky (also the night sky) in about 1.01 or 1.02 because of some technical issues that prevented correct synchronization. I have no idea about developing, but there has to be plans to reintroduce them at some point, right? I started to play little before 1.0 released, and I remember that one of the aspects that captivated me back then was the atmosphere of the game, being volumetric clouds, worsen forecast weather and beautiful night sky cupola, very important reasons of it.

Right now the sky and clouds are plane and nothing compared to the old one. It is even worse at night that has multiple purple tones without transition in between them and looks like a really low resolution texture where the stars aren't that visible and detailed anymore.

Here there are few pictures from said Steam page.
