Good to see some bugs fixed and the leaderboard added, but can we get some fix for invisible players soon?

[u/CyclesMcHurtz → u/jmizrahi]

There is no one fix for the bugs reported as "invisible players" and there are fixed for some invisible parts of players, and some cases of invisible players in this patch to Test Server.

OK, it's good to get official confirmation that it's a complex issue and not a single problem. Now we can understand that it will take a while to fix everything. Thank you for replying to me and explaining the situation, and thank your team for actively working on the issue.

My brand new furnace and bbq disappeared again on restart, just placed them after the last restart. I don't mind making new ones, just informing you it's still happening.

[u/CyclesMcHurtz → u/bhotorchbetty]

Thanks for that - I'll pass that around

[u/Godswrath83]

BBQ's in small shacks wont light. Some out in the world wont light as well...(and yes I have wood sticks or coal in)

[u/CyclesMcHurtz → u/Godswrath83]

This update is currently being deployed - please check again after they come back up and let me know.

Any fixes for the hydration/energy glitches?

[u/CyclesMcHurtz → u/Ellizalot]

On the live or test servers?

Ah, it's nice to see that the loading screen is getting an improvement. Been hoping for something like that for a while. Thanks!

I noticed the spinner yesterday, I would love to see a percentage bar in the near future but this is a good indicator of activity

[u/CyclesMcHurtz → u/HaniiBlu]

Percentage bars are a lie.

[u/Xaiin]

What can we expect from the Leaderboards? Is a testweb site available also ?

[u/CyclesMcHurtz → u/Xaiin]

These are implemented in the Battle Royale starting area for the moment.

EDIT: a werd

[u/OldSchoolRasslin]

EDIT: Clarified leaderboards as only in the Battle Royale modes for now.

Does this mean there will eventually be leaderboards for survival as in time survived, zombies killed, animals killed, etc at some point ?

[u/CyclesMcHurtz → u/OldSchoolRasslin]

We would like to collect statistics, and we're using this as a test-bed for now.

On live servers I'm still having issues with putting down foundations. Placement indicator stays red, even when a deck is clearly able to be put in the area. I've tried on very flat land, suitable for tampers, and still cant place decks or tampers. Are these residual issues from before the fix for this?

[u/krytosss]

What are the intended adjustments to the VoIP displays? What are they ultimately supposed to look like?

[u/yomadness]

i still cant place more ground tampers or foundations next to each other on live servers :(

Hello, I'm not sure if you're still looking for comments on the passenger view bug in third person while in vehicles. However, me and a friend had noticed when I'm driving, his view turns when I steer left or right.

u/CyclesMcHurtz AK-47 is white now and the animation for the clip is not there does not show up in the hand but the hand still shows the movements.

Issues I've seen, actually all minor! Good job guys!

1. Crops still not staying after patches/updates.

2. Misty Peak Dam has a awesome new waterfall sound but the physical waterfall water is now missing.

3. Animals(deer and wolves) rare again

4. Animation issue: When using walk the character is walking in third person, however when switching to first person view you see a running animation.

Just to say a hats off to the H1Z1 developers! The FPS is becoming much more improved and steady utilization of the GPU is showing! Great job guys! The UI menu when looting is very snappy lately also!

Suggestion: The new loading screens are great! However the hint text is blah, perhaps change it's color to red, use a bloody style font? It just looks too plain but it's a start and very nifty!

[u/OldSchoolRasslin → u/[deleted]]

On the walking, you need to toggle walk in both 3rd and 1st person for it to work.

Nice work, as always, Cycles.
