[h2]Hey Survivors![/h2]

Welcome to the patch notes of update 0.911 - Pursuits & Perspectives. This is one of our biggest updates to date which includes a quest system, changes to movement and the camera system, a bunch of new weapons, items and much much more.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

Localization Update: Unfortunately, we are still waiting on the full translation for this update as the amount of text, items, and other changes made to HumanitZ made some significant increases in text. The localization testing has taken much longer than we anticipated but we plan to release a localization patch as soon as it is ready so further updates around the localization patch will be announced soon.

Known Issues: Due to the massive scale of changes in this update, there is a small chance some old saves might have a broken character model. We were not able to resolve this issue before release, but we will continue to work on it as .911 continues. We believe it's an issue very few players encounter during this update, and that players are happy to begin a new save with all the new content and we thank you for your support during our Early Access journey .

Server Info: Official servers will be receiving a fresh clean wipe to allow for the newly added quest system as well as the changes and improvements to the map. We advise all server owners to do the same and start fresh with the new look in HumanitZ.

• New camera & player movement option
  
  • Major changes have been made to the movement and camera system. The middle mouse now also works as well as Q&E to rotate the camera and you can tilt the camera angle with the middle mouse to help you see your player inside buildings, tight spaces or to see that bit further in front of you. For old players that like the old system you can still play the game in the same way but we felt that this change needed to be done as we look to take the game forward.
    
  
  
• New Quest System
  
  • The much awaited Quest System has been added with this update. We would like to state that this is just the beginning of Quests and NPCs that we are bringing to the game and things will only improve and get better as we develop more lore and improve our systems. We plan to release more elaborate quests with each major update. But we are really happy with our first release of quests and we are sure you’ll have fun meeting the different characters and completing their tasks and stories. While quests can be explored on dedicated servers it is best experienced in single player and coop.
