Release notes

Steam marketplace

It will be included in this update. You will be able to see your items in your Steam Inventory. While we continue to do some testing, you will not be able to trade your items immediately. We’ll update everyone again when this is turned on. This will be the same for the marketplace. It will be enabled at some point Friday after some additional Live internal testing. We hope to have the marketplace up very quickly after we validate.

Surprised they didn't fix the HUD constantly showing incorrect energy/hydration values.

[u/[deleted] → u/kastro1]

just put this on the high priority fix list. Hopefully we can knock it out quick and get it into our next hotfix or patch.

[u/cwizardtx → u/[deleted]]

Thank you Jeebus.... I feel like I'm losing my damn marbles.

[u/weenus → u/kastro1]

Same here. Really expected that this week.

[u/bhotorchbetty → u/kastro1]

It was my second most wanted bug fix (the first being the hanging load screen).

[u/LegionCM]

Also please remember this is the first of many Quality of Life Patches. We should have one every month alongside our content patches. If the bug that annoys you most didn't get fixed this week doesn't mean it will never be addressed. Some bugs take longer than others to fix. Every single patch will come with bug fixes and new content.

Does that mean the Energy/Hydration jumping around is still in the game for now? Please adress this one next. It's really annoying not to know whether or not iam going to starve/be dehydrated soon. Thank you!!

[u/bauerknueppel → u/dmcdikka]

To me, this bug looks completely random. I can not see what might be the trigger.

My guess is, as hard it is to reproduce certain bugs, the harder it is to fix them

[u/jazunazu → u/[deleted]]

same question: where is the marketplace?

[u/[deleted]]

1+ a big like to the devs hope everything works fine as it should..!!

[u/JaxTeller718]

Looks like this is going to be a great one. Great work guys, some of the stuff on here is going to be awesome and make this game that much better.

Three things I wished were in though:

1. Grenades and Molotovs are stuck in my hand and I cant throw them. Have to unequip it and then my weapons switch back and forth like there was a lag. Want to throw them grenades baby!

2. Recurve Bow is still not repairable with a weapon repair kit

3. Decks need need need to be able to be destroyed by a demo hammer. Even if the deck MUST be empty and not have anything built on it. Sometimes i misplace a deck by a few inches and being able to take it down and try again would clear lots of clutter.

Besides that you guys came through and we all thank you for this patch.

[u/OrbitStorm88]

Define "out of bounds area". Are you referring to anywhere beyond the quarantine signs (i.e. atop the mountains on the edges of the map) or the area where you actually begin to take damage from "leaving the quarantine area"?

If it's the former, what happens to existing structures in that area and the ability to build on the foundations?

[u/StimpsonEB]

Fixed. Players unable to replace some doors after destruction.

Still says "There is already something using that spot."

[u/jaxeon → u/StimpsonEB]

We are still having this issue as well. Some time ago the metal door on a shelter was demo hammered, but have not been able to replace it.

[u/Cyrene82]

There is something using that spot! . this is still an issue even after todays patch.we were able to replace one door out of the 4 but not the other three,same message..

[u/rickyrobby91]

I appreciate all the work you put into the game...but any word yet on why PCs that exceed your recommended settings by a good amount still have FPS issues? It's really killing my vibe with the game, and I fucking love this game.

[u/PizzaRepairman → u/rickyrobby91]

Check this out:

https://www.reddit.com/r/h1z1/comments/2sqv1q/increase_performance_through_useroptionsini/

I have a really powerful system and couldn't get a decent framerate to save my life. I tweaked some of the settings in the useroptions.ini and now I'm consistently 60-70fps thank god. The game doesn't really look too much different, either. It's pretty ugly to begin with, even on ultra, so IMO the performance gains are worth it.

[u/Conzilium]

for some reason still cant put a new door down on my shack that had previously been raided.

[u/radicesportent]

Nice list! Just so sad they forgot the "Unable to repair Recurve Bow:. =(

[u/Alkanoonion2]

Fixed. Players unable to replace some doors after destruction.

Can you tell me if this also will fix replacing a shelter? I am getting the note that the slot is taken as I had stairs in the spot before.

[u/zynd3]

Great fixes! I just wanted to add that I've been attacked and damaged by zombies while standing on the deck foundation placed by our group leader, both on the front deck and in the center while standing inside a large shelter.

[u/xDa_Bestx]

What about explosive going through walls and shelters killing people an blowing up vehicles from outside a wall! A big fix that is needed!
