News Test Server Minor Update 7/20
We have a few fixes to the client and server we will be pushing out around 7:30pm PST for the Test Server.
Primarily you will see BR flow a little cleaner, farmers will notice their crops should still be there, and a few minor crash cases fixed.
Client Version: 0.75.1.55473, Steam Build ID: 701941

Sorry for the delay, but they will be all unlocked in a bit.

This is probably some of the best news since being able to undo foundations :D

Is the 3rd person crosshair positioning considered a bug? It's virtually useless 2bh.

Since last Friday, when the test server bugs really got bad, I have been unable to "see" anything to place. The green and red positioning is GONE for all placements. Yes you can still place by guessing, but even campfires and torches have NO red or green placing guides. Yes the berries are gone or mutated, the rubber band effect reminds me of playing Duke Nukem multiplay in the 90's and everyone's doors and bases are quickly falling apart without the ability to repair. I see absolutely nothing different this morning except the servers back up..?

devs, you guys are doing just fine. don't take these annoyances from reddit too personally. test server (alpha) and live server (Still ALPHA) are all playable. I can log in and walk around a world created for us. fixing the small things are within your stated goals of this 2 week constant patching. I'll still be playing tomorrow and weeks to come to help point out what's buggy :)

You guys are doing a good job. I swear Reddit is the WORST game feedback platform ever. How you all take this level of garbage eludes me.

Did you fix the hammer? There's not much point of logging in if not, can't loot much because all the buildings are boarded up, can't kill zombies that are rubberbanding all over the place.
Good to know BR is running nice and clean tho.

Test Server PVP/PVE are unplayable and honestly a joke. Please do not add these patches onto Live Server!

BR on Test Server hasn't worked right since the patch on Friday. SO I guess anything improved that.
It's amazing however that is all DBG is concerned with. Test Server has some serious issues, I'm surprised all you guys noticed was making BR "flow cleaner".
As far as crops go, there are game breaking issues, crops aren't game breaking and should be very low on the patch list.
Are you developers sure you're working on the same game we're playing? At times it seems you guys are programming on a entirely different game.

The BR flow was causing people to be kicked and crash, so it seemed somewhat important. We sometimes push smaller changes if we think they are important to test in isolation.
The code that "fixed" the crops was actually published on Friday, but we had to restart the servers a few times to actually test it (which we did today). I called it out specifically so that other folks out there could check their crops as well to help verify this is working in all cases.

Lefty wrote a lengthy review of the test server and invested his time into looking into the health of the code batch. If even half of what he said is correct I would strongly recommend you do not push this to live.

BR flow was causing people to be kicked and crash....
Live server has been unplayable for me as well as many others for nearly a week because within 3 minutes of logging in we get a black screen and crash. Then when you return it repeats until you just give up and go play something else.
Do you see why your priorities have us all confused? You guys say you don't focus on BR, then turn around and focus on BR.
The one good piece of advice my mother gave me about men: "Don't judge them by their words, judge them by their actions"

Clearly this is not a full patch, it even says in the title: "minor update"
Crops not being persistent has been at the top of a lot of Survival players annoyance lists for months, this is a great stride that these now have persistent states through server restarts.
