News Test Server update 7/17

We're pushing a sizable update to the Test Server between 5:30-6:00pm PST with a fair number of changes. I don't yet have the complete list of changes, but a quick list is:

EDIT: There was a configuration error, we're correcting it - the servers will be back later tonight The servers are back up now. Enjoy!

  • Update AI Nav-Mesh and data
  • Several Client crash fixes
  • updated textures and added objects
  • animation adjustments

EDIT:

  • Changed flow for Team BR so you don't get kicked out if your team-mate is disconnected for some reason.

This is another publish in our Quality of Life updates, and we are looking to push these changes to the LIVE servers next week after testing.

Client Version 0.74.1.55307, Steam Build ID 699478

Adding on to what he wrote

Bad rubber banding. Open a door go inside building and a second later you are back outside or on the other side of the room.

Inventory lag is atrocious. Dragging and dropping items to and from containers sometimes does not work. It will lag for a second and then drop in.

Zombies take three steps towards you then rubber band back to where they were and teleport to you. Also zombies are sometimes requiring 2 headshots.

Hydration and energy bug still present.

Punching when switching weapons still present

Blackberries are the new Worn letter lol.

Agreed, there are lots of issues, but one that needs addressing is THE INVENTORY (developers!), when we first started the game, it was not so bad to manage, but with so many items, the inventory in its current state is highly inefficient and messy, I think it needs to be redesigned...

Ammo needs its own inventory space, it just goes everywhere, its poorly implemented at this stage...

More hot keys are needed, this should include bandages, binoculars, flashlight, axe / or knife etc these are basic items. Move these away from the main inventory, they are the most used items to start and into the quick slots (weapons are next) This would also reduce inventory lag somewhat as constantly opening it to bandage every time is getting bloody annoying...Nevermind anything else!!!

As more and more stuff gets added to the game, eventually it will be impossible to manage.

That is a great idea with hotkeys. I never even thought about that but yes that would make things a whole lot easier and simpler. Great idea.

devs said they wont hotkey bandages, but there is no logical reason not to implement bandages into a hotkey...

The cooldown would still apply, you cant move while applying a bandage, all you have done is applied a hotkey, there is no logic to it not being added to the hot key / quick key list...

Making hotkeys for flashlight and binoculars was a wonderful idea, now extend it to bandages, it makes sense...

But I don't want you to be able to press 5 then left click (or a keypress etc...) and heal while we are in a firefight, sorry. If you've got your bandages in a good spot in your inventory and have time to open up the window and fire one off, be my guest. You limit your movement and view for a small amount of time for the tradeoff of the bandage. Also, you may have forgotten and not actually have any bandages. On the same token, it may take you a minute to find where you put them in your messy inventory. If you hotkey bandages, all of this is a nonissue and you just bandage in the middle of firefights. Not logical?

Agree with this. It makes it more "realistic" that you have to pull up your inventory to find your bandages, like you would look through your backpack in real life - it's not instant.

It's not particularly easy to get into a good spot with some camping coward shooting you in the back :D.

I would like a medkit key but as much as I would I know it'll make the game worse.

So I'd rather they didn't.

I disagree completely, its those times when you need a bandage and cant find them, and cant use them or run out that it lets you down...The entire inventory structure lets you down...

You still have to craft your bandages, you still have to stand still while using, you still have apply them, You still have to wait for the cool down to expire, the threat parameter is the same, the only difference is: You do not have to open your inventory for every single moment that you want to do something..how realistic is that?

It changes nothing, only accessibility, it also reduces lag...

A bandage only restores 10%, I simply want it implemented into the hot keys alongside flashlight, binoculars, all other healing items should be restricted to backpacks still, only basics should be allowed in the hotkeys...

Bows are automatically reloaded as long as you have ammo, If you had to reload it via the inventory you would be up in arms and rioting...

Ammo style Weapons are the same, consuming ammo, if you had to reload it via inventory after every 6 shots, again you would be screaming change it...You have to change ammo clips out, in the real world, should they alter that then to make it more realistic? after 2 shots you have to go into your inventory and reload the shotgun manually, yes lets make it more realistic as you say, and force you to manually reload your gun, from the inventory, once your clip is empty every time. Assuming you have actually loaded these clips first, you did remember to load the clips did you not?

In conclusion your honor regarding bandages and hot key:

If you are attacked, the bandage effect is lost / interrupted, if your moving, the bandage effect is lost / interrupted, nothing changes, the cooldown prevents spamming/exploits. There is no reason not to add bandages to the quickslot...
