Hello Survivors,
There's been a lot of great stuff happening in the community and today's Community Spotlight is once again completely packed, so make yourselves a cup of tea, sit back and enjoy!
To kick things off, I have some interesting facts for you from our animation team.
The animators have already made or started progress on
5660 animationsfor DayZ, and
4169 of those animations are currently being used in the game. And another interesting fact - the longest animation we have is shaving which clocks in at 400 frames, meaning it's just a little over 13 seconds long. Thank you
Adam Orestenfor this interesting info!
The Xbox community has a lot of questions and we decided to answer them in a live stream. We took the frequently asked questions and issues you've sent to us in the
Xbox Feedback Round - January 2019[forums.dayz.com]on our Forums and we were talking about them on the live stream. Check it out:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBuRO9FP9SI
I can't forget to mention it was
Valentine's Day. All of us get from our nice colleague Ket (who's taking care of all the crashes you send, and takes her
lovely huskies[http://www.instagram.com]to the office every day) a DayZ heart cookie.
But we get nice stories and wishes from you too.
Look at this cute picture. It's Valentine's gift from
Kylato her other half -
a picture of them playing DayZ together for the first time. It's so romantic and it is cool to know you can find the love of your life in DayZ.
And thank you all for nice wishes and pictures.
It warmed our hearts.
Yeah, we've had an annoying
issue with persistence,and hopefully it is all gone right now (thank you devs so much!), many of you tried to help us to identify and resolve persistence problems, and among the most active reporters were the members of the community from the Village server who built a
wall across the Chernarusto find out what breaks the persistence. In the end, it was a different issue, but we want to thank you for your passion for DayZ,
we love you. Here's how was "The Great Wall of Persistence" built.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHXceeTJwoEBut the persistence issue didn't scare some people, and they continued with their bases without the fear of losing progress. Check out this massive base made by
ElementFireClan:
Or this one made by
judderman2005:
A Reddit user
jude_nedmade an interesting post for all of you guys in the DayZ community. He made a couple of Reddit threads on history, types and
exciting facts about the weaponsthat you can find in-game. He already covered
Mosin Nagantand
SKS. It's a quality read, check it out:
Let's also check out some nice pictures from you.
This one looks like some surrealistic painting but it is, in fact, a Chernarus map! Don't ask me how it was made, I have no idea, but you can ask
drumfishwho posted it on the Reddit.
It's just beautiful.
Imdenkosshared a screenshot of his squad and they look scary, I don't think they are friendly, but
they are dope!
Snakevsplane bought a map of Chernarusand put it into a frame, so he is not going to lose it anymore. If you are interested in this
map[store.bistudio.com]too, you can find it in our shop together with
patches[store.bistudio.com],
hoodies[store.bistudio.com]and
t-shirts[store.bistudio.com].
And the last picture is a photo by
Ciiza, who lives in
the Real Chernarusand wants to show you how it looks in Dubky right now. Can you recognize it?
Modding is one of the most important things for the community right now, let me show some of fine things that I found.
Guys from the Czech community (the same group also working on the
BARRANDIENmap) created a really handy thing. It's an
interactive map[map.dayz-sa.cz]where you can see logs of all the events that you need to have to make server admin's life easier. You can
see real-time kills, deaths, logins, logoutsand more on the map. It's still WIP and not for the public now, but it's sick!
There's also a
new map called Chiemsee. It's 10x10km big, and fully playable even though towns get improved all the time.. You can find it on the "Chiemsee Official" server.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65k_4S4ososAnd here a gameplay video from the Chiemsee map by
3RNOwith his friend
Gibs[http://www.twitch.tv](that Jonny Rotten's face ).

Belzelga:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_auapF99DA
Next up is
DeanoZwho's creating some really entertaining content on his channel. He shows his modded content like karts or new cars but the most interesting are
tutorial videos. If you are into modding but don't know how to start, his tutorial can help you.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqiVxEsP14wDo you have a nice base, but are you tired of looking for food every day?
A private gardenis the solution to your problem. You can grow tomatoes, peppers, pumpkins or zucchinis and eat them raw, dry or prepare them on the stick. But do you know how to grow your vegetables?
AmishZedhas a guide for you.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niK06dSAb2QAnother guide is
intended for beginners, who have troubles finding out where they spawned and where to run after spawn.
Gruntmade a helpful video for you.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVCqqwkmh5cAnd one more guide! Building a working car is not easy. You need to find a lot of car parts and make them work together.
Element FIRE Clan made a tutorial on how to build a 100% working Ada, so if you are not sure, check out this video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjDD7-b0TLcI couldn't imagine how cool this video is until I've played it. It is an
ASMR DayZ video, just sounds of the sea, burning fireplace and ambient nature, really good for sleeping. I love this idea.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlwPeckRPakThis is a funny moment when
Lirik[http://www.twitch.tv]met a crazy KKona Guy. I laughed a lot.
https://youtu.be/vXHG7ww158kThis is a story of two
FBI officers investigating a cannibalin Electro, and it has everything, action, friendship and tears at the end. Check it out; it's really entertaining.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSPZxfqYpZwThat feeling when you complete a car and then someone kills your driver and you are a hostage of two full geared guys, trapped on the back seat:
Priceless. Nice video
CitrusPunch! And thumb up for 1PP and VOIP!

Let's start this off with a famous quote.
"Another one!"We bring you some more goodies that we had prepared for you! Also shoutout to everyone who reads these and plays our game, we love you and appreciate you <3.
Let's get into the nooootess!
Stone mine
- A new beautiful location for you guys to explore and roam about. Check the pics bellow!
New wheels
- We've added a new vehicle. This baby boy can fit up to 6 people and has more storage than the SUV. Be careful though, as it's bigger and heavier it needs more skill to drive it as well!
- We also improved car physics, which means better handling and less sliding.
Bug fixes.
- Fixed exploits for server bombing with chat messages.
- Fixed the exploit where people were spamming locks on doors and could easily unlock them that way.
- Fixed door issues that showed up in last patch.
- Fixed issues with window climbing and vaulting making you stuck.
- Fixed double spawn screen that appeared on joining server with a dead character
- Fixed a bug where ESC key would not work until you respawned.
- Fixed a bug where there was no prisoner in the character creation mugshot
- Fix for cargo drops sometimes dropping in unintended locations in singleplayer.
- Fixed bug where weapon magazines and scopes would stay visible when the prisoner is hidden.
- Fixed bug with prisoner getting hidden in first person view.
- Fixed a lockpicking exploit with certain types of keyboards
QoL additions
- Adjusted armor calculation and fixed the bug that caused helmets to protect from headshots a bit too well.
- Starting lockpicking will now take the screwdriver in hands.
- Adjusted the transition between the prone and crouch actions (eating, cutting etc.), so it blends in better, and is not snappy.

Hey everyone!
We’ve been lurking all over the internet to see what you guys have to say. Mind you, this is not a new thing for us - we do it all the time. We see
everything. One of the things you’ve been asking about the most is some kind of
roadmap. The one on our Steam store page is regularly updated, but it doesn’t have any actual dates. We get it, you want to know what you can expect and when you can expect it, but we’ve been kind of hesitant to share any kind of timeline because it never turned out well for anyone, so our reasoning was why learn from our own mistakes if we can learn from the mistakes of others.
However, ever since the beginning of this love child project of ours, we have prided ourselves in the
complete transparency with our community, as well as always being a part of it and being easily reachable by anyone who might want to say hi, ask a question or even tell us we suck. That’s always been very important to us and it’s not going to change. So with that in mind, I've decided to try something out.
I talked to every person in the company and asked them what they’ll be doing in the next 3 months.Okay, not everyone, I didn’t talk to
Darianbecause he was out of the office at the time of writing this, but I did talk to his art gang and they gave me the dirt.
We redecorated his workspace a bit while he was gone. It sparks joy now.
One more disclaimer before we start: all these things
shouldbe in the game in the next 3 months. We have calculated the amount of work we can do and we’re going to try our hardest to stick to it. That’s something we’re usually good at. However, any dev anywhere can confirm that
you just never know. Life happens. People get sick. There might be an alien invasion and we all might die. Let’s hope that doesn’t happen, but if it does, don’t say we didn’t warn you.
Let's start with some office news! We've recently welcomed our very own first QA team! We have a real life QA lead and 3 new testers, so now it's not just us testing anymore! We have people for that! Yay!
About those
vehicles! You might have seen the new car model in our last WiP post. What you didn’t know is it’s not just about the model. Our lead programmer
Diniis working on the
new and improved car physics. Right now, the vehicle mechanics in the game are still very basic, but we’re going to try and push more towards realism. For example, the car’s center of gravity will shift depending on the number of people in the car. He’s also reworking the damage system, which means the car will react differently depending on whether you shot at its tire or the engine. Don’t worry just yet, though, because you’ll also be able to repair it. You’ll also get the
driving skilland skill levels, which will obviously tie into the whole realism thing and the way you’ll drive the car. You’ll be able to claim a car, lock it, lockpick it, and hotwire it. You’ll also be able to refuel it. Dini says you’ll eventually be able to shoot from the car, too, but not in the next 3 months. The reason for that is it’s a long and excruciating process that will take a long time to implement, he has enough on his plate as it is, and none of it is salad-related.
Blood orange, so f****** pretentious.Next up is the
inventory. Yes, it’s kind of clunky and unintuitive - we know, we have eyes. The plan has always been to change it up eventually and that time has come. Our programmer
Jesusand artist
Ivonaare working hard on a
complete overhaul of both the inventory and the UI. I’m not sure what the final version is going to look like because they’ve been pretty secretive about it so far, but I did manage to find out you’ll be able to stack items and rotate them. Jesus said it might be important to mention that he’s reworking the vicinity function and that cars and chests are finally getting a proper inventory space. He also said I need to explain it's not just the visual upgrades and that
a lot of the overhaul will be on the programming side, but then it was just a bunch of nerd talk, so I only pretended to listen and understand. I apologize to any nerds I've offended with this and I promise to write a whole post about it as soon as they have more stuff to show.
The inventory may or may not end up looking like this. We don't know either. Ivona says it's a surprise.Thanks to
Patrik, soon you’ll be able to
build a base, too. The first version will understandably be very basic - you’ll be able to build a house using a blueprint, the same way you build a shelter. Our art team is already working on the models, but that’s not the only thing they’re working on. You’ve seen some of the new stuff in our last WiP post -
we’re adding a quarry, a mine, a mental hospital, an old castle, a salt mine, an observatory and a whole new city. Urban assets, baby!
Hot mesh.Aside from the driving skill, we’re reworking the
cooking skillfrom scratch which also calls for a good
metabolism rework. That’s
Bruno’s job and he’s already on it. He’s also in charge of the
demolition skillwhich won’t just include bombs - you’ll also get all kinds of traps.
Johnis working on the
archery skill. He’s going all in, so you’ll also get
different types of bowswith
different types of arrows- some of them you won’t be able to use if your skill is too low or you’re just too weak. You’ll even get a
bow silencer- I thought he was messing with me, too, but apparently those are real. Who knew. With the help of our animators, John is also
reworking the first person gun animations, so if everything goes according to plan, the whole thing will look and feel much more realistic. We're also adding support for
RPGsand our very first
revolver!
Our new programmer
Goranis preparing the first
missions and mission objectives! I can’t tell you any details yet, but you won’t have to wait too long to check it out. You’ll also get an actual
tutorial, in case you couldn’t figure the game out by yourself. Weakling.
Soon you'll be able to make your enemies quiver in fear.The next 3 months will also see the introduction of
achievements! These are being prepared by
Dobrilaon the programming side and Ivona on the art side. The copy is being prepared by the Meme Team, so expect some funny stuff. Or cringey, we haven’t decided yet.
Please don’t scream about this next one, but we’re
postponing the female characters. Okay, we’re not literally postponing them because we never officially announced them, but the original plan was to release them for Valentine’s day, which is obviously not happening. The reason for that is that women are just too hard to animate. JUST KIDDING! The reason is that we started working on them with every intention to finish them by deadline, but along the way we realized there’s a lot more to the whole thing and we can’t just stick a female model on the male mechanics and call it a day. Remember how we have this elaborate metabolism system and how I already mentioned that Bruno is reworking the cooking skill which also ties into the metabolism? Yeah, that. Every piece of clothing needs to be adjusted for the female body, too. That’s going to be
Danijel’s job, god help him.
This doesn’t mean we stopped working on the female characters- we still are, but we really don’t want to half-ass this, so we’ll just postpone them for a bit. I said for
a bit, so please stop screaming, time is a social construct anyway.
Now that the worst part is out of the way, let’s go back to what else we
areadding in the next 3 months. We're going to be adding some new
animations and tauntsas well. I asked our animator
Iggyif he knows what he wants to do and he said not yet, so if you have any suggestions for him, please write them in the comments and your taunt idea might just end up in the game!
We're working on
hairas well- male hair, female hair, beards, head hair, body hair, all kinds of hair. You'll need to be able to
grow it out, cut it or shave it, so we've got our hands full.
And last but not least -
seasons! We've tested out snow with our Christmas update and most of you said you liked it, so we've left some up in the North in case you want to go sledding at a later time, too. Well, soon enough you'll have actual seasons and everything that goes with them.
I might have missed some stuff accidentally or on purpose, but I hope that now you have a better picture of our schedule. You'll still be getting your regular WiP posts by
Josip, as well as some other surprises from the marketing team, so don't worry! Just remember - we're watching. We're always watching.
Love you, bye!

Here we are with a new patch, more bug fixes, QoL changes and some extras!
So let's start with some new things that we added.
Server optimizations
- So we looked into lag, as no one likes lag. And we did something awesome, items that repeated a lot on the island (doors etc..) we found a way how to lower servers awareness of those items, and we gained a massive boost, up to 5x faster. Down bellow you can check out how the whole process went.
- Also we deployed a new master server and that means faster server list browsing!
It was a warm and sunny summer morning last April. I was sitting in my favourite sofa in the office. Thinking about SCUM. And big data. As I always do in the evenings. At one point there are 5 doughnuts on my table, and the first thought that came to me "How to eat all 5 in a most efficient way?" and then it dawned on me. Big. data. blockchain. crypto-algorithms. using cutting edge deep network machine learning methods for network replication IoT applications.
And so I started to mash my keyboard (already on the third keyboard), and then it was born. Network crypto-algorithm replication blockchain.
Everything that was a lot now is lot less and server runs about 5x faster. Fixed the game. The end, or is it?New weapons!
- M1891
We added a new family member to the rifles in SCUM. The M1891, a five-shot, bolt-action rifle. It uses the 7.62x54mmR cartridge, and it can be found in military areas.
- Eder 22
Eder 22 is a new gun that uses 9×19mm Parabellum cartridge, and you need to find a magazine if you don't want to feed the bullets 1 by 1. It can be found all around the island, but the best locations to find it are around military and police areas.
Fortify in the name of God.
- The continental church can be fortified from now on.
Feed me more!
- As cooking is being reworked, we will need to rework some other stuff as well, for starters how our fire system works. We added a new mechanic where you can add materials to your fire so it doesn't go out. It looks something like this:
- Keep in mind that there is a cap on how long the fire burns. The one in the picture burns up to 120 minutes, and different materials add more or less time, from just a few seconds up to 60 minutes. The cap can not be pushed over. If the fire has been burning for 10 minutes and you add a material that can add 60 minutes of fuel, you will only gain 10 minutes from that material. Here is a list of items that you can use:
- Paper - 10s
- Rag stripes - 15s
- Tinder - 30s
- Gun powder - 30s
- Rags - 30s
- Improvised rope - 60s
- Tree bark rope - 60s
- Short wooden stick - 1:30min
- Rope - 2min
- Long wooden stick - 5min
- Kitchen board - 10min
- Small wooden log - 30min
- Wooden plank - 60min
- If you use an item that has uses, all uses will be depleted and the item will be destroyed
- In the future we want the fire to have a visual indicator of how long it's burning by changing the fire intensity. If the fire has just recently been lit, it's going to be big and roaring, and if it's almost burned up, you'll see a tiny flame. Those states will also impact cooking in the future.
Bug fixes
- Fixed a bug where fame wouldn't be reduced on death.
- Fixed a bug where if you died while leaning you would respawn in the same position.
- Fixed a bug where you could exit a vehicle while beside a wall, and clip through it.
- Fixed a bug where sled would penetrate through various objects and causing issues.
- Fixed a bug where sometimes you were able to loot through walls.
- Fixed a bug where you could pick up objects and chests through walls and ceilings.
- Fixed a bug where the vehicle horn would get stuck in an infinite loop.
- Fixed clipping issues with higher FoV values.
- Fixed issue where cargo activation in events happened twice, awarding double points
Quality of Life changes.
- Opening and closing doors now can be heard up to max 25 meters.
- Player footstep sounds have been lowered a bit.
- Added distinct sounds for switching between auto and single fire mode.
- Added additional checks for dragging items. Should fix the issue with using items trough walls because of clipping.
- Implemented scrolling trough admin command suggestions.
And everything else.
- Various server and client optimizations.
- EAC improvements.
- Implemented server log for chat

Dear Survivors! We've just released the PC Stable Update 1.01 on Steam (both game update and server files). This is the first in a series of Platform Updates that we will publish throughout the year, with the focus this time being on stability, fixes, server performance improvements, and the introduction of two new firearms.
https://youtu.be/caGOYM7eeYE
New firearmsWith each Platform Update, we're aiming to expand the variety of content available in the game. Our choice for 1.01 were two classic 7.62x39 rifles previously available in the legacy builds: the SK 59/66 and the CR-527, also supported by the re-introduction of the Hunting Scope!
SK 59/66A ten-shot semi-automatic rifle fed from an internal magazine. It is an older model, but still reliable, using 7.62x39mm rounds. Can be equipped with a PU scope and an improvised suppressor.
CR-527A bolt-action hunting rifle, fed from a detachable magazine. It's light-weight and accurate when used at intermediate ranges. Uses 7.62x39mm rounds. Can be equipped with a Hunting Scope and an improvised suppressor.
Persistence fixesUndesirable persistence wipes were definitely among the most annoying issues reported in 1.0. With 1.01, we're introducing a system of Persistence Backups that aims meant to
prevent problems with saving of the persistence dataon the servers.
This system will be available to both official and community owned server. We've seen some pretty good results on the Experimental branch so far. In any case, we will still be closely monitoring all incoming reports should any loot, bases, or other persistence data get deleted after server crashes/restarts.
Server Performance OptimizationsGood server performance is critical to ensure an enjoyable DayZ gameplay experience. In 1.01, our programmers have made some solid progress on that front. Official vanilla servers running at full capacity with 60 concurrent players should no longer be witnessing flying cars and other shenanigans on a regular basis.
As far as
community/modded servers go, please understand that increased player counts may and other modifications to the server setup have a significant impact on the server performance, and
problems may occur.
We will continue with further optimisations over the upcoming updates. The most curious of you can take a look at the
report on this topic[forums.dayz.com]by our Lead Programmer, Mirek Maněna.
Voice communication improvementsThe voice chat in 1.01 is using a completely new codec that bumps the overall quality of the Voice over Network sound - especially with a high quality microphone. We've also added a mumbling sound filter for players who try to communicate when their speech is restrained with a rag.
New status indicators & damage tweaksAs a first step towards balancing the health and damage systems, we've added new icon status indicators that better communicate bleeding damage and the effect of medication (for example, the vitamins will now boost your immune system).
We've also made some adjustments to the player damage, with the most visible example being the reintroduction of a bleeding damage penalty when walking barefoot. Furthermore, we removed the chance variable for bleeding damage dealt by bullets. Now, every bullet scratch causes bleeding 100 percent of the time.
TrackIR SupportTrackIR is a head tracking input device that allows you to use freelook independently from your mouse controls, and 1.01 now fully supports this input method. Popular and proven in Arma, introducing this input method was pretty straightforward for us, so we made that option available already. If you own TrackIR, you'll definitely have some fun when driving around in your ADA!
50+ other changes and tweaksIn addition to the highlights, we've introduced over 50 other changes and tweaks that make DayZ a better game. Read the full changelog below!
Notes on the Update
- Please verify your game files before playing, including User Data
- Storage files from the Experimental branch of the game may not be compatible with the Stable branch
- We've done some changes to the VoN Codec, so as server owners, when moving your current Server Config[community.bistudio.com] to the new patch, be sure to change your vonCodecQuality = 20
- We recommend a persistence wipe for modded servers.
- In case of problems, please check the Bohemia Interactive support F.A.Q.[support.bohemia.net], DayZ F.A.Q.[forums.dayz.com], or BattlEye F.A.Q.[http://www.battleye.com]

Good afternoon, boys and girls!
We just wanted to bring you up to speed with the stuff we're working on (I walked way too much around the office today to get all of that)!
- Here's a new gun model fresh from our art team - a DT11. Right now they're working on the animations for it, so it's not quite ready yet, but worry not - you'll have two different new guns to play with in the next patch while you wait for this bad boy.
- We've promised to add more car models with time and we always keep our word - here's the latest model we're working on.
We're working on upgrading our driving system with these neat new additions (driving skill will soon be a thing):
- Improved Vehicle Handling
Driving skill and skill levels
Improved Damage System
Basic Vehicle Repair
Lock/Open vehicle
Lockpick/hot wire vehicle
Refill Fuel System
Vehicle Sounds/FX
- We're also working on the urban assets! Yes, we understand you're tired of all the little villages and the scenery and the beautiful coastal area! Okay! We get it! You hate pretty things! That's why we're adding cities, which means we have to make a bunch of stuff to fill them with,
Low residential building with small cute shops.
Residential building with creepy stuff in the attic.
City warehouse that will hold a lot of goodies! (Because why would we lie and lead you to your eternal doom)
- As you guys liked our caves a lot, we're adding a whole damn mine in the game. No better feeling than being down there without food and water and hearing the support beams start breaking down.
Entrance to the best party in town!
Just joking, it's filled with terror.
But for real, do not go down there.
- I wanted to start this with a rock hard joke, but I wasn't allowed. Anyway, we have a quarry on the way as well. Couldn't find a rock for that knife? We got you, fam!
- Let's talk items. We have a lot of new items in the works for you guys, here are some previews!
A small trap for small animals.
Can't wait to see what you guys will do with this one.
A deadly weapon and a tool, 2 in 1, nailed it!
More bows more fun!
We also heard you like crossbowsOkay, we sorted all the pretty pictures (did we?). But we still have other info that we want to share!
- We started working on objectives, missions and tutorials. Down below you can see some concepts of future NPCs that will play a role in SCUM.
- Inventory rework
From the ground up, visuals and functionality. We are aware that the current inventory is a bit clunky and confusing. That's why we decided to get back to the drawing board with it. Item stacking, item rotation, better stash management, all of it will be better, prettier and more efficient. We'll keep you posted as we make progress!
- Cooking rework
That pizza shop I was talking about before? Now you'll be able to have it, and put pineapples on it, as well as other terrifying things. In short, cooking will now work per design, also including various diseases, and possible death. The cooking skill will also be upgraded so having a person who knows how to cook will be a big bonus if you don't want to eat poison mushrooms or bad meat.
DISCLAIMER: Everything you see and read here is prone to changes, and might end up in the game in a different way.

Dear DayZ Community,
We are three weeks into our quite intensive development planning that will shape DayZ this year. It means sorting through, and
selecting features, content, and timeline of their delivery- in practice a lot of meetings, whiteboard scribbles, and digging through our backlogs trying to identify what we're able to deliver this year, and when. In the meantime,
normal development continues, and we have deployed a first bug fixing patch, with more bug fixing ahead of us of course, as we also have a backlog there to go through.
The first quarter of this year is pretty much
all about spring cleaning, and us getting on track to more scheduled Stable Platform Updates bringing new content and fixes. The first Platform Update is on its way to be released in February, and we will share more details once it's live on Experimental. We want to improve the game in many areas. We also hear you loud and clear and are aware of a vast amount of reported issues. They will get the attention they deserve when there's a right time for that, for now, let's look at some of the most critical and immediate ones.
Top Community Issues
Server Performance- server performance affects everything, from user actions taking too long, doors not opening, infected that stutter, to vehicle physics behaving in weird ways. Most of the gameplay can get affected when the server FPS dip below 20, and currently, that's happening on full or high population servers more often than acceptable. As such, this is our top priority to sort out. While the build out there right now has seen a noticeable FPS increase on low population servers, it still does not scale well enough when more players are active, and we are tracking possible causes of this server performance drop.
https://steamcommunity.com/linkfilter/?ur…PhoneJonCarnage
Persistence- right now, we are preparing a safety net for persistence that will help the current shortcomings where entire areas get wiped when the server crashes during the writing process of the snapshot of the world state. In simpler terms, the persistence data does not save correctly because of a crash. The proposed solution is in testing and will land on Experimental once ready. When that happens, we will do our best to share useful information on the usage and functionality of the safety net solution.
Picture by GallopingGepard
Server Browser- we know the new server browser still has its flaws, and performance issues which are getting in the way of the DayZ experience. We are looking into possible improvements on a more granular level; however, those might take time, so at first, we will dig into the issues that damage the experience the most. Once there is more information to share, we will provide an update.
Animation issues- we are tracking multiple issues that break characters/weapons and more, and these require engine level fixes that are in discussion right now. Once e details get sorted out, and fixes are confirmed, we will talk about these in greater detail.
The issues above are our primary areas of interest as of now, but the list of reported issues goes on, from bullet damage to medical items not serving any real purpose, or item placing being very limited, and more. While the list above does represent some of the reported issues (arguably the ones that break the gameplay experience the most), it does not mean we're not considering, or working on the rest.
ModdingWe'll do justice to our company motto -
Curiosity, Creativity, Community- by delivering significant modding improvements this year. Documentation, samples, and fixes that make new things possible are all in our pipeline. We will look at the topics of licenses and content usage, as well as making sure that with upcoming Platform Updates, we provide Experimental server branch to everybody so that both server owners and content creators can look at the game changes happening, and make necessary arrangements for their creations.
We're already seeing lots of cool creations in the
Steam Workshop(some prime examples in the video below!), and it'll be exciting to see what's possible in the future.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Pcfwt8RHsA
WeaponsWe have a massive weapons backlog to go through, and you can expect that we will not only look into current issues with firearms (both visual and functional), damage and unconsciousness values but most importantly into that big stash of weapons that haven't been implemented yet. Our weapons strike team has already managed to make steps toward having
two new firearmsimplemented in the upcoming February Platform Update. We will share more details when they're ready.
VehiclesVehicles have a lot more polish coming to them this year in terms of stability and functionality. As already mentioned, we know and understand that
server performance has a huge impact on the experience, especially when player counts go beyond the recommended 60 players on community servers. Server optimisation plays a huge part in our early spring cleaning, so bear with us. While this is, of course, important, we can't forget that we should
expand the variety of vehicular transport;this year will bring more options to players. Once again, we will share more details on the upcoming vehicles once we're sure we're ready to deliver.
ConsolesRecently, we've opened a round of
Community Feedback targeted at our Xbox Survivors[forums.dayz.com], and it proved to be a great source of useful information. Our console specialists in Bratislava are already looking into Xbox specific issues that were reported often and can be scheduled for a relatively easy fix, and there are of course the more complex issues like
rendering and performance drops that are being investigated. DayZ launched with very decent frames in Xbox Game Preview, and we believe we can get rid of the current drops. It will take some time though.
We also know that we still have a large sleeper community on PlayStation 4 patiently waiting for a release. While we are currently not able to dedicate more resources to advancing with another platform, we're taking small steps towards a PS4 release later this year.
CommunicationWith many internal changes in planning and how we approach update releases overall, we will also need to be rethinking
how often and in what forms we're communicatingwith you. We still have a lot of brainstorming to do, but it's very likely that the frequency of development Status Reports will
no longer follow the 2 week period. Instead, we'd like to think of ways how to more actively work with what's happening in the community, engage in the events organised by community server owners, and improve the direct communication across channels.
Before the PC 1.0, we've made an attempt at
Focused Feedback rounds[forums.dayz.com]with our game designers, and we'd like to get back to that idea when we know our developers can invest the time into carefully evaluating the feedback we receive on balancing, or specific game design topics.
What we mentioned today is merely a fraction of things that are ahead of us this year; there's more to share down the road, but only when we're ready to talk about it. Once our internal roadmap is fleshed out, we will start our deep dive into how exactly DayZ will change this year.
Until then, see you all in Chernarus!

And we're back! As you all saw in the last post, we got a nice and cozy new office and this is our first update from here so cheers to that. Also thanks each and every one of you for the nice wishes!
LET'S GET INTO THE SWEET PATCH NOTES!
This week we have mostly bugfixes, exploit fixes and QoL changes.
Bug and exploit fixes.
- Fixed a bug where adding items to a backpack full of items or dropping that backpack on the ground produced an absurd amount of AI noise that attracted puppets.
- Implement ability to list spawned vehicles, teleport to spawn a vehicle and destroy spawned vehicle via admin console command
- Fixed a bug where the player was able to drag the sledge while other player is mounted on it or is standing on it.
- Fixed a bug where grenades did not collide with cars.
- Items cannot be dragged anymore if someone is standing on them. (Chests, shelters etc..)
- Fixed a bug where event participant stats in scoreboard were not being shown properly upon joining the event.
- Sledge cannot be equipped after someone has boarded it.
- Fixed a bug where it was sometimes impossible to drag an item from the vicinity.
- Visual effects such as blur, color saturation when health is low, nightvision, etc. should now work when inside the vehicle
- Fixed a bug where some servers stopped spawning cars.
- Minor improvements to server save/load performance
- Fixed a bug where people could interact with items that are in fortified buildings.
- Fixed bug where some items were still being shown on corpses even after they were searched
- Fixed bug with equipment when dying in some places you would lose all items permanently, not lootable or at spawn (basic shirts and pants)
- Turned off autowalk upon waking up from ragdoll or dying
- Fixed fame point exploit related to cooking items
- Fixed getting stuck in patching wounds animation if game window was not in focus
- Fixed exploit causing suicides with throwing weapons to give you famepoints
- Possible fixes for incorrect character state saving while in event, if you exit the game while in event on relog it should spawn you from your last position before you entered the event.
- Fixed issue where respawning that is not "on shelter" would respawn you on some random shelter in the game.
- XP reward for projectile hits now take projectile hit energy into account, you can not farm XP anymore with ricochets anymore.
- Fixed a bug where patching wounds with an item (rag, bandage) from a container (e.g. closet) wouldn't consume the item
- Fixed a bug where some same containers in a different building would share items
- Fixed a bug where searching objects while lagging would sometimes show another object's items or no items at all even if some items were inside the object
- Fixed a bug where locked doors would be in an un-pickable state
- Fixed a bug where fortifications sometimes wouldn't get placed upon finishing the blueprint
- Fixed a bug where crafted locks would still consume fame points upon placing them on a door
- Fixed a bug where non-completed fortifications blueprints would get corrupted upon relogging
- Auto-dropping an item shouldn't be able to place the item behind walls & objects any more
- Filling soda / alcohol bottles with water will now correctly water down their nutrients
- Possible fix for sometimes being unable to rotate blueprints when placing them
- Possible fix for door lock widget sometimes getting rendered from large
distances

- Added different distances for loading and unloading virtualized items
- Fixed bug where items spawn by virtualizations system would blink blue and be easy to notice
- A new way for fame gain on a player kill. When you kill a player you gain 10% of the fame he had. The player who got killed losses those 10%. If you are in a negative for -100 fame points and someone with 100 fame kills you, you will be on -90 famepoints and the other person will be on 90 fame points. People exploited this to gain fame points by continuously killing team members.
Balance and QoL changes.

- Added new icons for small and large bundle of sticks.
- Vitamins (all medicine) do not get destroyed now once you consume all uses.

- Fixed bug where pastry could have been eaten infinite amount of times.
- Vehicle cannot be unmounted if exit location is blocked.
- Added ability to push the vehicle (this is an experimental feature and works only if no one is in the vehicle)
- Advanced fortification recepie QoL fix regarding needed usage shown, the amount stays the same. If an item does not have uses the number in the recepie is the quantity of that item(10 pieces of scrap metal), if it has uses then its the total usage of the item that the recepie needs (100 uses of lead, one lead plate has 20 uses, so you need 5 lead plates).
10 scrap metal pieces
10 uses from the tool box
100 uses of lead plates, that makes up to 5 lead plates
- The improvised lookout blueprint has been removed for now from the game due causing a lot of exploits and problems. If you had a lookout somewhere it will be gone from that place.
- Added new recurve bow FPS animations
Landscape and arhicteture fixes
- Added possible fortification places on 4 sides on the lighthouse.

Teleports invoking player to the specified vehicle. Vehicle ID is displayed via #ListSpawnedVehicles.
- #DestroyVehicle <Vehicle ID>
Destroys the specified vehicle. Vehicle ID is displayed via #ListSpawnedVehicles.

Hello, Survivors!
It has been a bit over a month since our last Community Spotlight and a lot has happened since then!
In December we released DayZ 1.0 on PC. It was definitely the craziest month in the office and the devs really deserved their Christmas holidays. I know we've been pretty quiet this year so far, and I've even noticed that some of you think we're still on holiday somewhere, but that could not be further away from the reality! Most of the team has been back to their stations since January 2nd and there's a lot of buzz in the office. We're working on fixes, planning our road ahead, and also getting ready for our first Platform Update - but I'll let Eugen explain it in his first Status Report of the year, so stay tuned!
We are collecting feedback from the Xbox community because the Xbox version still has several specific issues, and we want to know them all. If you are an Xbox player and have some feedback,
here is the place to talk about it[forums.dayz.com].
We've organized a 5 Year Anniversary Live Stream in December and answered a lot of questions, so if you missed it, here's a VOD of the live stream:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Dl2YbbhESQFor the live stream, Tim and I organized a special community event for our content creators and a bunch of other members of our community. The event was about attackers assaulting the defenders inside their base. The defenders were asked to build and defend a complex of buildings, the attackers had to kill them all.
If you want to know some stats from the battlefield, here they are:
DayZ 5 Year Anniversary Stream Results:
- Hero of the Attackers - AnarchyHD (7 kills)
- Hero of the Defenders - M1ndr (7 kills)
- First Blood - M1ndr after 3 minutes
- Highest Kill Streak - Anarchy (7 kills, stopped by DrDeSync); M1ndr (7 kills, stopped by Moondye7)
- Blood Enemies - Fadez and Jonny Rotten traded Kills
- Brought a melee weapon to a gunfight - and won - Uncuepa: 2 kills with the Wooden Axe; Catfu: 1 kill with the Combat Knife
- Last Men Standing - DrDeSync, Dizzy and Gary were the last surviving defenders
- Immortal Warrior - Dannyboyy did not die during the event.
- The best motivational speech[clips.twitch.tv] - MrMoon
We definitely want to keep doing live streams, so stay tuned for more - and feel free to send us some tips about what you'd like to see us streaming!
Let's check the community content.
Our friends at the Australian DayZ podcast
Compassasked us for an interview and we joined them for their latest episode. Eugen and Peter were talking about some interesting topics and if you are interested in DayZ development, you should definitely check it out:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOk9GwZvc3IAnother amazing piece of work from
Asmondian. He has created a series of #dayztips pictures with instructions how some things work. Let's check out some of them:
If you are into modding, you can find some great community mods in the Steam Workshop.
The most popular Workshop item -at least for the last month- has been
Winter_Chernarus. This mod retextures Chernarus to a beautiful winter environment.
And if you run Winter_Chernarus on your server, I suggest you to add
Cl0ud's Wintergear, it is really nice.
Everyone wants Namalsk, but other terrain creators are already doing an amazing job as well, so now you can check out a new terrain called DeerIsle. It is a 16x16 km size map based on the DeerIsle location in the USA and is still in development. You can try the 3x3km starting area on the creator's server 85.25.214.246.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkFWN9xsj18I want to show you one more video, which the DayZ team really likes. This base is really awesome, good job guys.

dubas_got this amazing picture as a gift. Why don't I have anything like this on my own wall?
DrZZedshared with us his logo cut from wood. It is huge!
I carved a DayZ logo into pumpkin last year and it was so hard. But Reddit user
ApersonawithCANCERdid the same thing with a piece of wood, how it is even possible to do this by hand?
And the last one is a very atmospheric sketch made by
Specu85. You are talented, man!
And one bonus photo to end things in style. Who else is envious of this DayZ command center by
DownBy9UpBy5? I know I am for sure.
As always, it's location riddle time. The location from the latest Community Spotlight was under a little factory west of Lopatino. And who guessed it right?

- DrDeSync (@DrDeSync)
- Emu Threat (@DayzedEmu)
- Foxypote (@Foxypoteoffical)
Good job, guys.
Here's the next one:
If you know where the location is, send your answer to our
Twitter accountwith the #DayZriddleTime hashtag. Good luck!
That's all from me for now, thanks for all the awesome content you create, enjoy the game and see you in two weeks.

Hey friends, it’s Tena, long time no read!
We were gonna write a Work-in-Progress update today, but Josip, our Work-in-Progress-writing boy suddenly got ill, so all of you are stuck with me. Sorry about that! It’s also his birthday tomorrow, so if you could use the comment section to spam him with good vibes it would be amazing! Please make sure to call him either baby boy or Sippy, he absolutely loves that.
Last week we finally moved into our new office! It’s been wild, but we made it! The move has been pretty hectic and stressful, but now that it’s over we can proudly say that we have definitely maxed our multitasking skill. We’re all very hands-on people and that’s something we pride ourselves in, so we did most of the work by ourselves.
I am aware this panorama is blurry, but it's the 8th version I took and at this point we can just conclude I'm not good at taking photos and leave it at thatThe whole point of moving was to have enough space to hire more people, so at the same time we’ve been interviewing our candidates, putting together furniture, making new content, and, most importantly, fixing those bugs! We know you guys have been worrying about the move distracting us from our holy gamedev duties, but fret not! We take those duties seriously and would never disappoint you. On purpose. We have fixed A BUNCH of bugs and exploits that you have been reporting so diligently, but I won’t list them all because, honestly, it’s a 2 pages long list that you’ll get very soon in the patch notes anyway, and I like you too much to spam you like that.
What I will say is that we fixed most of, if not all, the stuff you’ve been complaining about. For example, you can’t cheat by glitching through walls using a sled anymore. Sorry, not sorry. You shouldn’t have been doing that in the first place. We also fixed dozens of bugs that have to do with blueprints, map teleporting, fortifications, locks, squad system abuse and many others, both big and small ones. Our programmers also fixed some performance issues that had to do with item spawning, so your whole game experience should be much smoother.
We haven't been just bug fixing either - our artists are working on some pretty cool new stuff, too. I won't say too much because I don't wanna spoil anything, but check out the pics down below for some random snippets.
Švarc is working on the M1887 rifle animation. He says he's having the time of his life.
Darian is working on this crossbow you've been asking for because you've been asking.
Ivona is working on some supersecret cool new stuff that I can't talk about yet, but I wanted to brag because it's fun. This photo is also blurry, but I was being sneaky which is an acceptable excuse.I hope you weren't too disappointed by this post - you'll have Josip back tomorrow and then it's business as usual. I'd like to thank you again for the patience during our move and settling down in our new home. Thank you for all the kind messages as well - we have such a cool community of great people and we see it and appreciate it!
Love you all and talk to you soon!
