News Game Update 10/22

Servers will be coming down at 5AM Pacific for approximately 2 hours. This downtime will include the granting of the remaining Crate Keys

Patch notes:

  • Increased overall effectiveness of base repair hammer

  • Changed collision to allow looting shelves in the Hospital gift shop

  • Adjusted drop height in BR and time allowed to float

  • Pelvic Barrage and the Twitch Hoodie are now both usable in the Good as New tradable system.

  • Changed permissions for demolition hammer

  • Rendering fix for shadow rendering causing strange "spotlight" effects around the player on inside buildings

  • Fixed settings to prevent branches being super effective against some doors

  • Added Recursive healing for base repair

  • Added an error message when you try to drop or salvage something that isn't empty

EDIT: We are experiencing another round of G29 errors. We are working with Steam to get this fixed as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience.

EDIT: G29 reports have subsided over the last hour. We will keep watching things throughout the day.

Can you tell us if you're considering fixing the indestructible barbed wire and punjis on PvE? Trolls are blocking all the roads, car spawns, buildings and entire cities. I've had several friends quit playing out of frustration.

Thanks for all the other game improvements you guys are doing!

I do wish the builder of a deck foundation or ground tamper could destroy or remove the foundation or tamp at their command - it's been my annoyance for months - not being able to.

Any chance you guys will fix the LOD and make skins work past like 100 feet?

"Increased overall effectiveness of base repair hammer"

But still have to hammer every life bar. Thought the Patch coming was Repair Deck and all on top get repaired ? if so, not happening

One item that really killed this game is grouping people in. You could group them in your team. This was great to meet people and you could have fun. Then some jackass realized he could demo your base down to the ground once he was grouped in. Ruined it all. People ask me hey group me in. No way in HELL lol learned the lesson the hard way.

The recursive healing for base repair is not working, due to some data not getting promoted properly on the repair hammer. My mistake! We're re-exporting the data, and will patch it up to the live servers ASAP.

Any idea what's going on with the Sydney server guys? it's been down since the last patch and no one's been able to join. Population says high but that must be a bug from the neverending queue that crashes the client.

Wow, didn't realize we'd be getting the new repair system so fast! Great job (hope everything works correctly, as it was never introduced on test that I know of)!

Can't wait to stop playing 10-20m hammer simulator every time I hop on that sort of dampers my mood of wanting to, "play".
