HI, have you already tried clearing your cache, deleting your saved data, or reinstalling the title?

@amadieus understood it 🙂

Hi,

let me say a couple words on the cheater situation. We are very much aware of the state of hackers infiltrating the game, and that situation having escalated since the corona outbreak.

Since then, we've been in closer contact with BattlEye to ensure that measures are taken both by them and within our game. I will not go into details, as this is a security-topic. But to give you a hint regarding numbers, we have banned more accounts in 2020 so far (and I mean way more), than in the past 4 years combined (also, we are talking 5-figure numbers). So rest assured, that action is being taken, and cheaters are paying the price.

Now to the topic of player-reports: With the way we are handling cheat recognition right now, implementing a report system for players would not benefit the situation. In this context you have to consider the time for implementation, the amount of false reports that would come towards us, and the time we would have...

Our next Experimental Patch is now available for download, here's the patchnotes:

Update 1.09.153372 - Release on 27.08.2020

FIXED

Fixed an issue blocking certain infected types from appearing within cities and industrial zones


Fixed an issue with executing emotes in limited spaces, causing the character to clip into objects


Fixed an issue causing vehicles with running engines to injure players close to it, even if the vehicle did not move


Fixed a bug causing items to be rotated wrongly after swapping them on the ground

CHANGED

The watchtower kit can only be placed under a ceiling that fits at least the 1st floor of the watchtower


Items dropped from hands during a players death will share the lifetime of the dead body (1 hour by default)


Items de-equipped when skinning a dead player share the dead p...

With the changes in the engine, we ran into more and more issue with TrueSky, which was also responsible for those volumetric clouds. As engine-support is now focused primarily on future (and proper) enfusion projects, please do not expect any major visual changes within DayZ, be it clouds or lighting.

Hi, if you encounter spammers, please use the report function, and they are normally removed within the day.

We have a new Experimental update with more tweaks and fixes for you. 🙂

Enjoy and let us know your feedback!

Hi 🙂

don't worry, no matter how hostile other players might seem at times, you are not alone. It's mostly people who had bad experiences and/or are afraid of losing their gear. If you are looking for a clan/group, you can also look into our recruitment area in the console sub-section, or hop by our DayZ discord. There's lots of people looking for folks to team up with.

We have a new Experimental update going live for you, here is the changelog:

This is sadly an edge case that we won't be supporting any time soon.

We love our players down under as well, you guys know the survival struggle ❤️ Economy offline files will be updated with our next Exp update, which will be deployed very soon 🙂

There is currently still an issue with taking the Flag Pole Kit (3 Sticks + Rope) into hands, it should be fixed with our next Experimental patch.

Yes, we haven't given up on the Russian Roulette, but it sadly did not make it for this update. 😕

Thank you for your reports, we are looking into them and have them scheduled for fixing.

Hi, our usual observation is that the player numbers on the Experimental are going down after the first days. As we have the base building contest ongoing and at the same time need to monitor servers at high capacity, we decided to go with a lower number of Experimental servers for this run.

I would like to keep the focus of this discussion on the update at hand. But yes, it is still something we want to look into.

Hi, are there any more details you can give us on the desync? How does it appear to you, does it affect player positions, or items in hands/the inventory, for example?

We'll also check the tent issue you mentioned.

@Derleth/ @helpthedeadwalk thanks for the notice, we are currently deploying a fix for the CE to the Experimental servers 🙂 More to follow.

We are happy to announce that the upcoming Game Update 1.09 is entering its public experimental testing phase. This experimental build will only be available on Steam (PC) as we have ran into a number of issues within the Xbox Experimental build, which we wont be able to solve for this particular game update. We'll come back to the Xbox Experimental as soon as we can.

In this blog, we would like to give you a first glimpse into the update 1.09, to show you what you should keep your eyes open for, and focus on during the Experimental testing. That being said, if you really want to know everything, head over to our forum post with the change log. And as usual, please post any feedback to our tracker and/or forums.

The long-awaited Revolver is back. This one took a bit longer to get back into the game as it uses a special weapon logic alongside a very specific set of animations. The Revolver isn't the only weapon in th...

@Derleth Yes, this is intended. @hyz4 interesting, but so far we weren't able to properly reproduce it. Does it happen with any weapon? Which keys are you using for ADS/HB, and when you go back into ADS, do you already have HB pressed?
