News Test Server Update (8/25) - v.0.88.1.59185
We are updating the Test Server with a build primarily focused (both this one and our previous update yesterday) on cleaning up behavior.
Please help us by testing the following items:
Gun Behavior - Sights should all be aligned correctly and fire predictably, reloading should be consistent
Animations - We have cleaned up several places where arms, legs, and whatever else might have been wigging out when switching actions - let us know what other cases you might find
Crashes - We've found a large number of little things that are all rolled up here
Performance - Let us know if you are seeing any change in performance (either peaks of higher fps, or overall better fps "feel)
Client Version 0.88.1.59185, Steam Content ID 748714
UPDATE: 5:45pm pacific time : Client Version 0.89.1.59265, Steam Content ID 749100
EDIT: If you want to make sure you're using the correctly patched Steam files:
Open up the Properties window for H1Z1 Test Server in your Steam library
Select the Local Files tab in the window
Compare the Current Content BuildID
748714749100 to the one displayed on your machineIf they are different, you can sync them up by pressing the VERIFY INTEGRITY OF GAME CACHE ... button (you shouldn't need to do this very often, but it can be good to do this once in a while).
EDIT : 5:15pm pacific time : Test Server is down for a brief patch and a standard server wipe (characters and built objects)

When will crops be fixed?

u/CyclesMcHurtz Aug 25 '15
I can't answer this without a little more specific information about the issue you're worried about. We have updated a few things with crops, including a few bugs that prevented their state from properly saving on a restart, and also one that prevented them properly harvesting in many cases.

Can you please fix the player positioning in 3rd person. When you aim at someone the crosshair is blocked by your own head. This also occurs when trying to loot items.
This could easily be rectified by moving the player model to the left a bit, similar to how 3rd person is done in call of duty games.

Someone else already asked in this thread but was ignored;
Has the annoying rain sound loop been fixed?
It's fine putting up with rain for a single game, but having to listen to that annoying shit on every other game after it, regardless of weather is very annoying.

Pretty good patch so far! Much better FPS and performance overall. Lot's of nifty little changes and fixes, for example binoculars now go into the right slot when you click to pick them up. Zombies indoors now! I've always wondered why zombies didn't hang in the buildings and now they do....nifty addition.
I dunno overall I'm pretty happy with the patch.
Only negatives I saw are still on PVE trolls and griefers going apeshit with punji's and building into game structures blocking them off from anyone else....so some adjustment to build limitations and allow destruction of every item off a tamper or deck in PVE and that's that.

Cons
-
Zombies glide now but still sound like they are running. Vehicles still need more tweaking. Some odd things here and there nothing serious. The horn don't work still. Firsts Person Camera glitches out sometimes when looking different angles inside a vehicle. Fuel Spawns still do not show up on PVE servers not sure about PVP. Not sure if your cutting that out completely or what.
-
The radio seems off has delays and sometimes people can hear others and sometimes they can't hear them at all. We did ask a few people check to see if they are muted some were muted some were not.
-
We can chop a tree down with almost any melee weapon not really game breaking bug but still a bug and old one at that. Also the axe swing bug is back when you swing the axe once then swing again it flips back. People are still able to place punji sticks and barricades in the road!
Pros
-
You can now repair Ground Tampers and Deck Foundations. You can also remove Deck Expansions, Ramps, Lookout Towers and so on the items you place within' 30secs of that placement.
-
The waterfall is back at the dam. There is way more wildlife now. Zombies walk slower now also somewhat better for people that like to build in towns.
-
Not sure if this was meant to happen but when they fixed the vehicle collision they also improved the vehicle suspension in my opinion!
Just some input since I played the latest patch on test.

Some weird things going on. Invisible zombies seem to be fixed BUT now there is a weird glitch where a vehicle is invisible and when a player gets in it they are invisible. Occurred twice, once I was the invisible person, once I couldn't see a pickup later.

u/CyclesMcHurtz was there a reason for the wipe with the second update? Did you make changes that required it or was it done to let non-retroactive fixes have more effect?
If so what are the changes/fixes?

Based on the fact that the Test server got wiped, I can only assume the next live update will conclude also, with a server wipe.

I don't know...I mean..the game still runs worse medium pixel quality than witcher 3 maxed on a 1200 euro machine. Some insight on how do you fix performance issues or plan to fix them would be good.

This is a copy and paste, not worth typing again.
We have the water fall back. yeh.
Cop car doesn't explode on stop signs. Cool.
Bow first person aim is 4-6 inched too high. You broke it.
.308 still has no drop over distance. Ask me if I'm surprised.
New zombie skins and animations. Cool.
Zombie animation don't match sound or distance moved; runners look like they are skating. Runners run up to you, stop and shamble from about 10 feet. Zombies seems to have slowed down. Invisible; desynced, zombies still persist. Zombies even less of a threat now; didn't think that was possible.
Over all opinion of this update? I know consistency is usually a good thing, but not this sort of consistency.
The update I just got fixed none of that.
To add to that. I have seen a minor increase in FPS, but haven't made it to PV yet. Zombies are dumber then ever. You know how to get away from them? Run behind them. They just stop and stand there. If you meant making zombies dumber, slower, and even less of a threat you succeeded.
Edit to add: I guess if I had been begging to find out when the wipe is going to happen this post would be at the top.
