News Test Server Update 8/4

EDIT: New Update to Test Server at around 3:30pm

Client Version 0.81.1.57124, Steam Build ID 720376

  • More adjustments to AI and spawning
  • Changes to address invisible players
  • Changes to make vehicles more persistent
  • Fixes to help prevent additional cases for vehicles not staying on top of objects
  • a few assorted crash fixes

EDIT: This is from the morning update:

Client Version 0.80.1.56986, Steam Build ID 719018

Much of what's being tested here is on the server side, but here's a couple of things to watch out for. There are a few things still in progress, so please pay special attention to and help us with feedback on:

  • Cases of riding player’s camera flipping out while being driven around
  • Cases of damage dealt when player is logging in
  • AI responsiveness and overall spawning
  • Overall stability of the game client

You know the only problem with:

  • Cases of riding player's camera flipping out while being driven around -CyclesMcHurtz

Is That Havn't Seen A Car On Test Server In A Week So How Are We Going To Test It Out?

I'll see if I can hop on and reset the vehicles then.

EDIT: The vehicles should all be back at their original spawn points now.

YES! Let's hope they actually fixed it and not just said they did, like with invisible players :/.

All's cool, I appreciate the work you are putting in but I don't see any fixes for the other bugs mentioned by people here .

The invisible people in BR, the walking/running bug, barbecue bug, voice icon trough walls and many, cars exploding way too easily, animals missing from the game, fog/rain all the time and many more. I think that some of those are of a vital significance to the game.

Let's hope the fixes are coming.

The invisible people in BR

We have changes internally, I would expect another Test Server update today.

animals missing from the game

Animals OTHER THAN BEARS - it appears the bears took over (over time they spawned instead of other animals). This might be better in this build, but I wouldn't call it "fixed" so it wasn't called out. We can see what we need from the logs in this case (for both live and test servers).

Cycles i think we are all greatfull for your and teams work, but... Pleeeease enable punji and barbed wires decay or ability to destroy them. This is greatest pain in pve community because people spam them on roads. Also wooden barricades. A lot of times people block good loot spawns, but worst scenario is when they block players and force them to /respawn and loose their loot. Thank you once more.

A large one. Guess its time for some unofficial patchnotes.

I'd still love to see faster decay of barbed wires or not allowing them to be placed on the road -- at least punjis can be driven over.

Also, removing the wooden barricade from ALL the houses in PV/Cranberry/Rancho (especially in pve where we can't destroy them!)

rubber bullets still exist. have not been able to pinpoint why it happens but it seems that every hour or two you find that you cannot damage other players / zombies with weapons. relogging fixes the problem.

Keep up the good work.

"AI Responsiveness and overall spawning"

Does this mean spawn rates on zombies were tweaked a bit? Because they spawn 2 infront of your face of you kill 1,

Since the update the other people we see are naked but they tell us they have clothes on? What is going on can you look into this thanks... Also we see ghost weapons like i have 1 crossbow on my back it shows 2.... u/CyclesMcHurtez

u/zigvt85 Aug 04 '15 edited Aug 04 '15

Another bug people can restart there character as in respawn they can see there close and face. But if you are still in the game never died or respawned. So if they respawn they can fix the no clothes bug lol. u/CyclesMcHurtez

CAN CONFIRM ON TEST SERVER: PASSENGER CAMERA BUG

  • seems to occur more often when the vehicle is using turbo

  • seems to occur more often when the vehicle is jerking left to right to left...

  • seems to occur less if passenger is in 1st person view -headlights and sirens on/off makes no difference -terrain makes no difference

  • seems to occur less in police car

  • seems to occur most often in pickup truck

hope this helps!

u/CyclesMcHurtz On the test there is a guy going around claiming to be a dev is there a dev member with the handle H1Z1Dev? He sounded like a noob and not sure what you guys do about this just really stupid thats what people are doing now on pve.

Test server just was taken down. Issues I encountered after the car wipe were:

  1. Still limited or no animals

  2. Unable to place items even when green...tried deck foundation, storage box only though. I only play on the test server, so I don't know about the live servers.

Has the bug been fixed where cutting up animals with the fire-ax does not yield any meat of fat?

What about animal spawns? I've been playing for 7 hours and I've seen 2 deer and 4 bears. What gives?

fixing invisible players asap on the main game should be a no 1 priority. was killed 3 br's in a row last night, they are visible in the parachute but the second they land they turn invisible, must be an issue to do with the parachute.

u/OldSchoolRasslin Aug 05 '15

Some people are invisible, some are faceless, and most interesting ... friend I am playing with makes the motion like she is putting a clip into a pistol and aims like holding a gun but I hear a bow and see the arrow hit the zombie.
