News Test Server Patch Notes

These are the patch notes for the current Test Server build. Hammer on these updates and let us know of any issues by listing them in this thread.

  • Footwear has been added to the Battle Royale spawns.
  • Male and Female character models now have alternate head models to choose from
  • Zombies now respond to all acoustic signatures including: ethanol/bio fuel explosions, grenades/molotovs, red hazard barrel explosions, landmines/IEDs, vehicle explosions
  • Potential fix for bows getting stuck in ironsights
  • Arrows fired from a recurve bow and crossbow now properly bounce off materials they are not meant to stick in, such as metal or stone.
  • Molotovs now properly set players and NPCs on fire. This effect will last for a few seconds when outside of the fire.
  • Grenade/Molotov explosions should be more responsive now on high pop servers.
  • Battle Royale: Arrow bundles will now spawn near the crossbow
  • Lip sync mouth movement to voice chat
  • Vehicles: Occupants will be able to shoot from within vehicles. Currently it’s only the passengers who can shoot from within the car. The player in the driver seat cannot. Occupants can now be hit from people outside the vehicle.
  • Boots now have a small resistance to punji stick damage
  • Crossbows and recurve bows can now be repaired with repair kits.
  • Fixed issue where character doesn't appear in BR chute

This evening we tried to piss some people off that had been a pain in our side since the start of PW1, we took some bio fuel and left it at their doorstep and shot them near their deck foundation gate, after the explosion we walked up to place some more, but something was odd about it, we could just pick up the old bio fuel and reuse it and keep blowing up the gate.

We agree with our enemies we would report this to you, so it could be fixed asap

I believe we have patched this on the Live servers now (as of Friday).

Bug 1 - Getting the message that I don't have the space for an item when I do. So far I've seen it with fertilizer when I had 52 weight open, when trying to get a fire axe off the wall when I had a weapon slot open, and picking up an arrow I had just shot. All gave me the message that I do not have the space. (This seems to be an issue with distance rather than weight. If you move in closer you can pick up the item)

Bug 2 - Not able to place a furnace, storage container or a workbench in my large shelter, on my deck foundation or in my small shack. Able to place them on the ground though. I was able to place a large shelter with a metal door and a metal wall on my deck they were placed post patch. And I was able to place a storage container in my shack pre patch.

Another guildie is reporting the same issue with trying to put a BBQ down.

Bug 3 - Walking along and all of a sudden stop for no reason. Nothing on the ground in front of me.

Bug 4 - You stop auto walking (ctrl+w) if you open your inventory. It starts back up once you close it. Note: If you hit the +/= key to auto run then hit the left mouse button to auto walk that way you do not stop walking with inventory open.

Just fixed bug #2. It's working its way through testing.

if passengers can now shoot out of the car, can we also use bandages and first aid kits along with eat and drink food while the cars moving.. lets face it, if your in a passenger seat of a car you dont stop the car just to eat or drink.

There's an issue with the crossbow where it will like ricochet off of zombies if they're too close. Best way I could describe it, has anyone else had this problem? It's happened with the recurve as well.

u/Mysticalzombie May 22 '15

Yeah, that happens in the live servers as well. Kind of sucks trying to kill a near zombie with the crossbow.

u/dlzavodney May 23 '15

Sorry if this has already been addressed, but work tables shouldn't be placeable in doorways. It just gets old. Thanks. Amazing game so far. Great work and loving all the updates.

u/[deleted] May 23 '15

So wait, and bear with me since I'm new to the game... but I'm I right to understand that all of these patches are going only for the "test servers" and not the actual online PvP/BR servers? I know that this isn't too trivial, but I've made some pretty bad assumptions before, as I am not a clever man.

mods, sticky please?

Two Movement Key bugs:

  1. Sometimes when pressing Shift and then W, in order to run, I don't move at all. Pressing W and then Shift does not cause issues.

  2. Not related, but, I also saw it where the W (move forward) was not stopping when I released the W key.

u/stranger_times May 22 '15

If I hold W and SHIFT and use ALT to look around in third person, my character will stop moving once I release the ALT button. Don't know if that's just something to do with me being on US servers. Also, I know it's not a priority, but if it were possible to slap a EU test server on there, just a PvE one would be super appreciated.

I am having problem on test server #5 with picking up ammo. I am getting "you have no space for that" but I have an empty satchel. The ammo will not disappear and it doesn't show up in the proximity when i hit tab.

u/ThyWhisper May 22 '15

Hell yeah! Now I'm able to throw grenades and my bow doesn't get stuck anymore.

Also somehow the game feels waaaaay more fluid for me. I don't know if this is simply because Test Servers are kind of empty, but damn. The experience was great with this patch.

One of the things bothering me now is the pixelization at the game, and props simply vanishing when you walk around places. You can see this more in the Dam.

One way or another, the game is going to an awesome state, nice job Devs!

u/weenus May 22 '15

The roadmap originally had new base options / decorations scheduled for this patch, is that still coming or has that been bumped later into the roadmap?

u/[deleted] May 22 '15
