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 animations for 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 Oresten for 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 theXbox 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[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 Kyla to 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. <3

 

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 Chernarus to 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=MHXceeTJwoE

But 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_ned made 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 weapons that you can find in-game. He already covered Mosin Nagant and 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 drumfish who posted it on the Reddit. It's just beautiful.

 
Imdenkos shared 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 Chernarus and 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 Chernarus and 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 BARRANDIEN map) 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, logouts and 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_4S4osos

And here a gameplay video from the Chiemsee map by 3RNO with his friend Gibs[www.twitch.tv] (that Jonny Rotten's face ).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omUKa9zKdic

And another one by Belzelga:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_auapF99DA
 

Next up is DeanoZ who'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=QqiVxEsP14w


Do you have a nice base, but are you tired of looking for food every day? A private garden is 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? AmishZed has a guide for you.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niK06dSAb2Q

Another guide is intended for beginners, who have troubles finding out where they spawned and where to run after spawn. Grunt made a helpful video for you.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVCqqwkmh5c

And 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-b0TLc

I 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=AlwPeckRPak

YThis is a funny moment when Lirik[www.twitch.tv] met a crazy KKona Guy. I laughed a lot.
https://youtu.be/vXHG7ww158k

This is a story of two FBI officers investigating a cannibal in 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=aSPZxfqYpZw

That 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!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cjzBIVbz1c
 

Another great story made by Gekofish. His videos are so relaxing and funny. And he started to be really popular in the community, so join his subscribe crew:

While we are working on our Survivor GameZ, some community make their own battle royal games. On the Round Table Gaming server will be the event on Saturday at 22:00 GMT/5:30 EST and if you want to participate, you need to sign up on their Discord[t.co]. You can find more info HERE. And here is a video from their last event:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P71-KiQIbXc  
 

And we can't forget about the location riddle. The last location was in the northeast of Shakovka village. And the winners are:
Here is a new location for the next Community Spotlight:


If you know where is this place, tweet it to our official DayZ Twitter account[twitter.com] and don't forget to add #DayZRiddleTime.

Thank you very much for all your content, I had really enjoyable time going through everything you shared. See you next time!

]]> PC Stable Update 1.01 https://dayz-servers.org/blog/78/pc-stable-update-101/ https://dayz-servers.org/blog/78/pc-stable-update-101/ Wed, 13 Feb 2019 16:37 CET

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 firearms
With 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 59/66
A 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-527
A 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 fixes
Undesirable 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 data on 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 Optimizations
Good 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 improvements
The 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 tweaks
As 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 Support
TrackIR 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 tweaks
In 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.[www.battleye.com]

]]> Status Report - January 2019 https://dayz-servers.org/blog/77/status-report-january-2019/ https://dayz-servers.org/blog/77/status-report-january-2019/ Fri, 25 Jan 2019 17:11 CET
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://clips.twitch.tv/CarefulJoyousPhoneJonCarnage

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. 

 
Modding
We'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.

Weapons
We 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 firearms implemented in the upcoming February Platform Update. We will share more details when they're ready.

 
Vehicles
Vehicles 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.

 
Consoles
Recently, 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. 

 
Communication
With 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 communicating with 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!

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=2Dl2YbbhESQ

For 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 Compass asked 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:

If you are a DayZ beginner, you will maybe appreciate some community help:

Recently, my favorite "DayZ teacher" has beenArchie Stormcloud, who has his own "DayZ school". Check out his videos, they are funny, informative and entertaining.

Have you ever thought about base building, but you never really knew how to do it? BarelyInfected has prepared a guide for base building. It can come in handy!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOk9GwZvc3I

Another 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.

Here is a sneak peek by the map creator JohnMcLane.

And here is a first encounters video by TheRunningManZ.

I want to show you one more video, which the DayZ team really likes. This base is really awesome, good job guys.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hP1xHz4tc4Q


And the last thing I want to share with you are some examples of amazing handwork skill.

dubas_ got this amazing picture as a gift. Why don't I have anything like this on my own wall?


DrZZed shared 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 ApersonawithCANCER did 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?
  • Rosiu (@Rosiu11)
  • 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 account with 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.

Hello Survivors!

Today is the day. The 1.0 update is out now on Steam! It is time to end the Early Access journey, and start a new chapter for the DayZ development.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8YxinOKNss
Over the past days the team has come closer together and worked more passionately than ever to make this important leap happen. And of course, we have seen the support from our community, be it in Tweets, PMs or via Reddit. We want to thank every single one of you for your patience and endurance through the years. We know there is still a mountain of work ahead of us and the team is not taking this milestone as an opportunity to rest, but as a chance to recover, evaluate, and plan for future.

So what's ahead until Christmas?

First of all, we've just started our first Free Weekend on Steam, so this is your chance to show DayZ to your friends and invite them to a trip across Chernarus. This will also be the last chance to buy DayZ for 15% off its Early Access price, which will be increased when the free weekend ends on Monday, December 17th (19:00 CET)[www.timeanddate.com].

We are also approaching the 16th of December, marking our 5 year anniversary of DayZ. To celebrate this milestone with you, the team will also have a Live Stream on this Sunday evening, to show you some in-game action and talk about the release.

For the following week (17.-21.), we have additional appearances on community streams planned, to share more about what the release means for DayZ and what's to come.

This is DayZ. This is your story.

See you in Chernarus!
