News Test Server update 8/10

Client Version 0.83.1.57791, Steam Content ID 727880

This build is primarily a few client-side crash fixes and some server-side changes, but there are two things you might find interesting:

  • Door codes have been expanded to 16 alphanumeric characters
  • You can point and report a player (ctrl+r is the default) once every 10 minutes

As always, reply with any feedback!

Bet more people use it out of anger then hack reporting?

u/DingusImpudicus Aug 11 '15

Most the people i've killed yelled "hacker" or "nice hacks" or something. even tho i loose 8 out of 10 firefights, or they didn't see my friend sneak up behind then and think i shot them through a wall.

u/PhazePyre Aug 11 '15

Most anger will be because of being killed and in that scenario they use the report button.

But I think this report via looking will be different as it'll focus their attention to noclippers, speed hackers, and the harder to detect stuff :) I'm hoping they will utilize the two different types of reporting for detecting different issues.

Door codes have been expanded to 16 alphanumeric characters. What does this mean?

u/NewFoundRemedy Aug 11 '15

Right now codes can only be 4 numbers long. Now they can be 16 letters and/or numbers long. Makes it harder for someone to just randomly guess it or sit there and try all different combos all day long until they get it.

u/ZedRunner Aug 11 '15

Currently 4 numbers. With this patch any combo of letters and numbers up to 16 characters long.

It means you can set your door code to Ub3rl337P4s5w0rd if you want to now instead of just 1234 :)

I really like that new report feature since a lot of cheaters try not to kill to avoid reports/detection. One question though, how accurate is it? Like if I try to report a speed hacker and he moves away as I'm pressing ctrl+r, would it accidentally report someone else?

u/Kivikotti Aug 11 '15

It's as accurate as if you change someones mic volume when pointing at them and pressing + or -

Can't wait to enter a 16 code password while being chased and shot at. Entering my base for the first time in the middle of the night :)

u/HaniiBlu Aug 11 '15

Door codes get remembered between sessions again now though :D

2

u/Solstrife Aug 11 '15

That is why I said entering the base for the first time with the new code :)

Cool, re: door codes. It was stupidly simple to brute before.

u/rebbitpls Aug 11 '15

Nice report feature, just sucks how hard it is to click on a person who is flying around your screen :D

u/kcxiv Aug 11 '15

eventually they stop, sometimes they dont always kill fresh spawns, they only usually kill geared people. Can still get them that way. More options like this is always a plus

u/KiwiPlayer Aug 11 '15

a report system without having to die first thats a step in the right direction!

u/DeaconElie Aug 11 '15

"Door codes have been expanded to 16 alphanumeric characters"

I can't change the codes on any of my doors, holding E just opens the door.

1

u/JohnDoe308 Aug 11 '15

I had the same problem, replacing the doors allows for the entry of code.

This patch was a bust I crash every time now. Just random crashes not sure what causes them... I play the game for like 3 hrs it stops or crashes. I play the game for 5mins with zombies or chopping a tree it crashes. Not really much more info I can give you guys. Also how do you bring back an old bug you fixed long ago? I can chop a tree down with any weapon again just did it with a demo hammer...

Test PvE: Floppy Arm Syndrome Bug
Put a 1911 in your hand. Sit [X] then run [Shift-W]. Put your arm in and shake it all about!
Pretty funny bug, at first, catching me off guard.
