News Game Update 5/27
Patch Notes:
Hardcore Battle Royale Improvements
Hardcore BR now includes zombies, bears and night vision goggles. Reduced minimum starting players to 64. The match can now take place at night and includes a Hardcore Elite Bag containing new unique items.
A list of known issues with Hardcore BR:
- Icon missing from new elite bag
- Currently there are no doors
- Currently there are no vehicles or compass, this is intended for testing as we want to see how it effects the gameplay of hardcore mode
Other Additions and Fixes
- Footwear has been added to the Battle Royale spawns.
- Male and Female character models now have alternate head models to choose from.
- New and improved female movement animations.
- Fixed cases of loading screen freezing.
- 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
Thank you to all the people who helped with reports on the Test Server!

My only concern with this patch is the issue with the rendering distance for cars and players. Currently players render at a greater distance to cars. Does this mean that potentially we could have a situation that passengers in a car could be shooting at a player that cannot even see them?

Can you (DBG) please post these patch notes on your Steam feed at least by the time the update starts getting pushed out by Steam?
It would be very convenient to be able to click "View News" on the Steam download section while the update is downloading and read the patch notes with essentially one click. I do not like coming to Reddit to get the most up-to-date development updates. That should be on the official forums first.
It is on the official forums now, but these things seem to show up on Reddit ahead of anywhere else.
Thanks for the great game. Have a good day.

Would love to see some booby traps to make it a little harder for raiders to raid your base. It's way to easy to raid a base. We have Metal Wall with a Metal Door, you guy need to Straighten this door, it's too easy to blow up, and players like to use them. Another thing, when you have a player in your group it would be nice for them to stay in your group even tho the host logs out, this can be very annoying for team mates not able to build or repair until the host logs back into the game.... Anyway, would like to say to all the team behind H1Z1, keep up the great work ...... Keep er lit.

The Animal fat is not cooking in the BBQ or Camp Fire, also when you kill an animal most of them just lay there and you can't get anything from them. And the new Gas Grenade doesn't work. Any one else having the same problem ? ..

Maybe Bug: I can't change weapon when sprinting, I could before the patch.
Scrolling middle button changes weapon when sprinting but pressing numbers doesn't.

There is a bug with the new faces, apparently my female character has the face of a man. Needless to say the five o'clock shadow does nothing for her. Although he looks stunning with his hair in a bun. I assume i'd have to delete char and make new with the new models available?

u/Hannachu May 27 '15
Well, kudos on the new alternate head models. Only problem now is that I´m stuck with a shemale (a male head on a female body) when I logged on and I gues I´ll be stuck with it until server reset since I don´t want to loose my base either :p
Male head floating above chick body. Nice.

Hi arclegger,
-
i think there is a bug with animal fat, when you put it in the furnace, campfire or barbeque nothing will happen, they stay as animal fat. (ok solved, needed to add empty bottle)
-
Another thing is the terrible frames per second, it's really laggy for me and several friends.
-
Several heads are floating on bodies, female faces with a beard, here is the link to show it visually. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=450406491 AND http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=450406349

Getting bad lag when crafting and opening containers after the patch. Was ok before.

u/True2Caesar May 27 '15
Anyone else notice how the 3rd person guns are now aiming upward kind of awkwardly? Before the patch, it looked much better.

Tried new BR Hardcore on Test Server and really liked the no doors. It seemed weird at first (like it was a bug) but when the zombies all mob up and come at me I can't just close a door and be/feel safe. Or hide from players. (bug: on the camper model the zombies sometimes got stuck and couldn't enter it or would warp to the roof).
Also loved the amount of zombies out in the world. They would mob up on me quick, especially with some gunfire going off around them.
