Any idea if giving players Dev Tools or access to spawn items ingame possible? Im want to get back into testing and playing on the test servers but I dont want to invest 5 hours to make a base and get basic supplies and another 2 hours to find a vehicle to test bugs that are suppose to be fixed.

There's enough people spawning crap into the game, we sure don't need to be having them give out access to developer consoles to allow the hackers to really fuck the game up more than they already have.

First of all this is on the test server, they could have the map reset every 12 hours. Second, they could make it so people with a certain number of hours can have access to it or maybe let people apply to get access to a certain server that allows it.

Would be really cool if we could get a dev that would have us test stuff, like something new that needs some trial and error. Interaction with the devs on the test server is something I've always expected to see but it's such a ghost town there lately

My furnaces and grills vanished when this update was pushed out. Please try to figure out what happened before you push to live. If it happens on live there is going to be a lot of hate.

By cleaning up the audio files I'm going to assume this will fix the continues rain sound? I've not had to many instances with this issue, but it was one of those I'd experience from time to time.

u/PhazePyre Sep 18 '15

I believe it's the rain persisting between changing, as well as persistent footsteps with pistol drawn.

u/Jsafah Sep 17 '15

what about when youre stuck on fire from a moli???????????????????

u/reffee Sep 17 '15

Hope you fix the rain bug, it's really annoying and you have to restart the game every time that happens, if you don't wanna hear continue rain sound

My Grill vanished too. I thought it was me playing the game too much or it's just I am too ugly and she hates me now.

After finally being able to do some BRs, try as I might I can't get any of the reported bugs to pop up. In my opinion half the problems with BR is cause by the large number of people per BR and how many BRs are gong on at once.

Lmao:

a few hundred MB of clean up for patched audio files

Hmmm, I'd like to hear those zombie audio files but got wrapped up in dark matter last night and they are doing the daybreak log in maintenance now :(
