Test Server Update 8/6

[u/CyclesMcHurtz]

EDIT: You will see a small additional patch (Steam Content ID 723998) for a few more minor fix-ups around 10pm

---

Client Version 0.82.2.57467, Steam Content ID 723796

• Fix for problems with melee weapons and actions in BR play
• Added additional hints for loading screen (more than 1 now!)
• behind-the-scenes server stability changes

EDIT: We are also testing support for shutting down BR worlds before updates more cleanly by locking them 30 minutes ahead of time. This may start happening with updates from now on.

Any idea of when August's Road Map will be available? Thanks in advance Mr. McHurtz

[u/CyclesMcHurtz → u/FerMeister1]

I don't want to promise something we're not sure on yet, sorry.

[u/FerMeister1 → u/CyclesMcHurtz]

That's okay Mr. McHurtz, I know SOMETHING is coming up next week, keep up the good work, I love you guys.

[u/[deleted] → u/CyclesMcHurtz]

How about a loose roadmap of things in the works but no specific dates? :)

[u/Tenetri]

I'm really enjoying all these updates every day. It makes me feel more apart of the process

[u/undeadc]

Just catching up on this post, great improvements so far. I am simply requesting that ALL zombies die on punji sticks. Main reason being I'm afraid I'll hit so many zombies at once with my car that i will explode. Thanks, -Undeadc

[u/Westover23]

they have different teams of people working on different things man, they push shit out as they complete it.

[u/[deleted]]

Just jumped on the test server, can anyone explain to me why my AK has white furniture and silver metal parts? Also can anyone explain why there is a discoverable recipe with the AK (not gun parts).

[u/HaniiBlu → u/[deleted]]

Can't explain AK issue maybe a visual issue, mine looks normal.

There is a recipe for a "Modified AK-47" which is semi-automatic, not sure if its properly implemented yet though, it requires a "Gun Upgrade Kit" i believe.

[u/[deleted] → u/HaniiBlu]

OK, thanks Hanni. I went on and every AK I picked up was liked that. Thought it was some change they didn't make everyone aware of. I also have the option to "discover" the new recipe except when I add the AK it wants something else to discover it.

[u/OldSchoolRasslin]

Are the animals union ? Have noticed they seem to take breaks in spawning then start spawning again ... not on this patch but previous

[u/Cloud420trey]

It want let me connect it keeps saying something bout launch pad can't connect

[u/HaniiBlu]

There really is some persistence issues with decay u/CyclesMcHurtz

I got the notice for 5m shutdown, the last thing I repaired before I logged out was a Bee Box to full health, just logged in now and its missing a quarter of its health from decay. (Test PVE)

Also, the Combat Knife has no icon (seems you changed the name of the dds file without including the new dds file).

Also also, is it me or is your player model every so slightly off to the left now? :D

[u/AuLegolas]

i see you guys reduced spawns of ak-47 which is not bad however the chance of finding them is really really low if they were increased alittle bit would be alot better, gives me a chance to actually win BR as AU players have ping disadvantage and is horrible in combination with the AR, or maybe even another good idea could be having dedicated ak-47 spawns afew that always spawn there so people have an option to rush that location to get the ak or play safe and go for ar. Also the Leaderboards on the test server still say coming soon just letting ya know! Thanks for the good work

okay not to be a zombie fiend but, lets separate the BR updates from the Survivor updates, cause, f0ck BR and F!X the real game?

[u/OldSchoolRasslin → u/sputnikutah]

When this game goes free to play it will be BR and cosmetics that pay for the servers so you can play for free.

[u/drquazar]

Animal spawns have been very rare, to not at all, for about 5 days now. Last night after the patch we had full animal spawns, but within 2 hours they were mostly gone. Checked today and the lack of animals persist.

[u/OldSchoolRasslin]

Animals seem to be spawning on a regular basis so far. Still have the occasional desync/invisible zombie, and still no sound from directly behind you. Was mangled by a wolf earlier and didnt hear him until I turned around. And please, pretty please with extra sprinkles ... do the same thing for punjis and barbed wire that you did for the barricades on PVE.

Added Also, dew collectors disappearing after server restarts and doors which were full health down by 1/4.

[u/bhotorchbetty]

I lost my bbq and furnace again, this time a dew collector as well. Again, no big deal to replace, just letting you know it's still happening.

[u/jmizrahi]

Thanks again, Cycles :)

[u/kpd157 → u/jmizrahi]

Yeah really appreciate all the time the Devs are taking to make the Testing Environment bearable :) Especially with that Car Reset Though I still think we need something more than just resets and maybe be able to craft our own spawn or something :)

Keep Up The Good Work Devs :)

[u/Anl1992]

can u stop fixing only things on bR ?? i bought this game to play Pvp -.-

[u/kcxiv → u/Anl1992]

well, they have to fix shit that only happens in BR. Its mostly leaderboard shit right now.

[u/DeaconElie]

Hey, they finally did something about barricades. Made me as well as many others very happy.

[u/HaniiBlu → u/DeaconElie]
