[WOLVERlNES 135]

Found an issue with Shelters: if there’s any slope in the landscaping it makes them really difficult to duck into and get out of. We have to go prone and roll-out and can only enter at specific angles of approach. Please fix — thank you ☺️

The inventory is not fixed you cannot use RT and LT to skip from jacket to vest, pants, and backpack. 
 

And the open/close container weapon on your back does not save. Every time you put your gun in your hands and back to your back you need to press RS again to remove what’s on the gun. Hope they they fix it like it once were. 
 

Don’t know why they changed experimental to just mouse and keyboard? Of all EU server is just one without and it’s third person, the only FPS server is mouse and keyboard no but that maybe change it like that to remove people that yes play on those servers and not the full DayZ ones. 
 

The quick wheel text was big maybe because his mouse and keyboard I don’t know, should not be like that. 
 

Not so many people comment here anymore. Maybe they are fed up. 
 

not played a lot of experimental. Yes, check if to fix that and try out the zoom. Not so hyped for this update with the weight and the rain makes you even more heavier. Are used to play without plate carrier but now you have to I want to play light, but they need more clothes in the game with better colors and the hunting backpack should be waterproof. I tried to play more like a survivor having like the jeans on but you just get punished more and have to have warmer clothes so you’re not freeze and waterproof stuff so you don’t damn your inventory. So much useless clothes in the game.  

[Crankgorilla 9]

Any idea when this will be released to the main game? And, will it be a full wipe or a patch? I'm wondering whether to continue my base building.

[Kohlbar 270]

I like that this update seems to have fixed the inconsistent sprinting power attack problem. On 1.18 I had to spam trigger to use the sprinting attack.

The added features focused on slowing players down so much more seems funny considering the vehicles are still in a bad state and few and far between. I could deal with glitchy cars or vehicles if I could find them! Zombies still seem weak, uninterested, uninteresting. Basically a nuisance and visual filler at this point.

I'm concerned that may be true. DayZ is the best game they've made and it seems like it's on a backburner.

Yeah, this is due to the slope, you have to enter & exit backwards or continuously sprint. The only current solution to this is building on flat ground.
This issue is acknowledged but it doesn´t have high priority at this moment.

1) https://feedback.bistudio.com/T169893 - Acknowledged (working on the fix)
2) https://feedback.bistudio.com/T169896 - Acknowledged (working on the fix)
3) There are 8 servers, all are M&K enabled so you can use both on all of them.
4) https://feedback.bistudio.com/T169815 - Acknowledged (working on the fix)
5) It´s usually due to Console players not using PC = less present on the forum. We have console players communicating mostly via Twitter (using their phones)
6) Well, you can´t really run "light" when it´s 5°C outside so there is nothing wrong with that. Most backpacks are not wateproof even in RL (they might be water-resistant) for items you really dont want to get wet - there is the drybag backpack or drysack.
Please keep in mind that what might be useless to you might not be useless to other people. But we are trying to add something new with nearly every update.

Hate to be that guy but is this FIXED "Changing stances could result in desynchronization blocking access to ADS and shooting" for PC not fixed for Xbox? It is a problem on console too, often when stealth attacking zombies from a crouch position or aiming gun quickly after sprinting. Would be good to know if the fix is for both PC and console. - Thanks

[WOLVERlNES 135]

Please fix Car Tent inventory bug for 1.19, when a vehicle is parked inside a car tent — it’s near impossible, on Xbox, to access the tent’s inventory.

Fix Tent wall bug also please, if a survivor drops a tent near a building wall or fence it can get trapped within the wall — rendering it unusable and it cannot be retrieved by neither using vicinity menu nor holding X-button to take to hands.

[Chendrickson91 0]

You made the humvee even worse at climbing hills.... that needs fixed.. that last update just made this game even more unplayable

[Crankgorilla 9]

This game is unplayable now. The game chugs now on X-box with models popping in and out of view. The combat would be impossible.

Edited February 19, 2023 by Crankgorilla

[Crankgorilla 9]

Omg. It's so bad, in Berezino zombies attacked, the game literally froze, then I got wedged on a fence in a falling animation and got killed. This is on an official server in my region. It's like playing on a UK server in Australia. Worlds greatest lag. Whatever you have done with this update, undo it. You have broken the game. Things are not loading. Game is lagging. That new animation bollox is probably causing it. 

Here's a tip, when you are testing your game, make sure it runs at minimum specs before you load it up with game breaking wants. What were you people doing? Running it on a local (in the building) server on an uber rig? I wonder if you even tested this at all.

[GopnikSZN 7]

Texture Rendering is really bad. When u turn around u can see White/Purple/Green textures all over objects/trees/buildings etc. Its look terrible. Please fix this issue ASAP. [Series X] its unplayable at this state

[Crankgorilla 9]

Got some time in today. There's a new small patch out. Seems a little better.

[GopnikSZN 7]

Its much worse after hotfix in my case.
