DayZ News

Hey Survivors,

2022 has been an exhilarating ride for all of us.
In 1st quarter of 2022, We started off strong by hitting our peak player count on Steam and maintaining a high amount of active players. For this, we’d like to offer our deepest gratitude to our wonderful community who has stood by us and empowered us to prosper. It is such a humbling experience and we sincerely hope that you’ll stick around as we strive for newer heights!

At the moment, nominations for this year’s Steam Awards are underway and we’d like to ask for your support once again by nominating DayZ for the Labor of Love Award 2022. The criteria for this prestigious award is as follows:

“This game has been out for a while. The team is well past the debut of their creative baby, but being the good parents they are, these devs continue to nurture and support their creation. This game, to this day, is still getting new content after all these years.”

This, as you already know, perfectly describes what DayZ is. It’s not just a labor of love that belongs to the dev team or Bohemia Interactive in general; it also belongs to you, the community, who’ve made friends through the game and collaborated with each other to tailor the DayZ experience to your unique tastes.

This year, the team has worked rigorously to release 4 updates along with supported patches and 3 seasonal events, We introduced new content that includes various firearms, new playstyles and upgrades, customizations to community servers, and an entirely new point of interest added to our DLC map Livonia (underground bunkers). It’s been a long and arduous road for the team but it’s totally worth it because we know and love our committed community of modders, content creators, and server owners who have been pushing out amazing content throughout the year like creative tools, week-long competitions, and a plethora of new community maps.

We are incredibly grateful for your support and believe that both the community and developers deserve this amazing award.

So if you feel the same way, please cast your vote and show us your support.

Thank you,
The DayZ Team

Greetings, survivors!

The moment you’ve all been waiting for is here! Highly anticipated game update 1.19 “The Secrets of Livonia” is now live on a stable branch. It brings with it some major changes and additions and is the biggest update we’ve released since the Livonia DLC. So let’s get to it!

Thanks to the Enfusion team, we were able to implement the latest version of vehicle simulation into the game. Our primary goal was to resolve long-standing issues with vehicle stability. We’d like to thank everybody who participated in the experimental phase, as it helped us test the vehicles in a live multiplayer environment. We’re still tracking a few lingering issues, but we believe we’ve taken a giant step forward in improving the driving experience in DayZ. The update to the vehicles was quite a substantial one, so you should definitely expect them to behave differently. Hopefully, they’ll be more fun to drive! These changes were reinforced by the addition of various features like the vehicle horn, as well as better feedback of the vehicle’s state in the vehicle HUD. The new simulation also includes support for automatic transmissions, which you’ll find in our brand new vehicle - the M1025 - the first drivable military vehicle in DayZ. We hope you’re going to enjoy this legendary and lightly armored 4-wheel drive monster!



Our DLC terrain, Livonia, received a lot of attention in this update. We felt it was lagging behind the base game terrain (Chernarus), so we looked at how we could improve the experience and bring it closer to Chernarus in terms of features. That’s why we added a number of major and minor points of interest, and conducted quite a big balancing pass on the loot distribution. We hope these additions will make your adventures in Livonia more refreshing, with new routes to try and new places to visit. There is one truly special place, which may trigger the end of the adventure for many, since we’ve also introduced some new environmental dangers.



Now that we’ve tackled the vehicles, let’s talk about the player character controller changes. We took a deep look into our backlog and resolved many issues that were connected to various exploits (such as glitching through walls and terrain). With these fixes, we’ve also lowered the speed of moving up or down hills, restricted movement in shallow water, and reduced the distance that characters are pushed when falling over edges. Last, but certainly not least, we increased player character inertia, which is mainly noticeable while sprinting, as we felt it was too easy to maneuver around. We understand that this change may not be for all players/communities, so you can adjust the level to your liking through server-side configuration.



But that is far from being all! We’ve also improved the in-game navigation helpers, implemented a GPS receiver, and added on-screen bleeding effects, which will help you notice you’re bleeding much faster, even if your HUD is hidden. Two new civilian firearms have been added, along with new clothing that’s waiting to be discovered. Modders have also received new and powerful in-game tools within the diagnostic executable. These will help modders with configuring new assets, debugging issues, and code optimization. See the documentation here.


If you’re eager to learn more about this massive update, we recommend you visit our official forums for the full change notes. By the way, the time for Halloween festivities is upon us once again. With this release, all of our official servers will be offering various spooky additions to the landscape, so make sure you don’t miss out!



See you in Livonia, survivors!

On behalf of the DayZ team,
Adam
