Hotfix 2 is out



How to update to Hotfix 2?
1. Safely Exit your game in the Base Camp
2. Restart Steam (Go Offline and Back Online in Steam Settings)
3. Make sure your whole squad has the update.

What is the wiping feature?
We've listened to your feedback, and an account wipe option is now live in #GrayZoneWarfare. After wiping, all your progress will reset and the game will shut down smoothly. Upon relaunching, you will go through the character creation and get Edition Content and starter gear again.
Opt for a character wipe to switch factions or to recover from a missing head/secure container bug (Note: This problem might reoccur until we release a proper fix).

This action is irreversible and has a 1 hour cooldown period.

Hotfix 1 is out



First hotfix of our Early Access is out, here what it entails:

[FIXED] An issue that players would sometimes spawn without heads, clothes, or secure containers
[FIXED] 2 separate issues where the anti-cheat would prevent players from joining a server
[FIXED] 3 separate server crashes

Plus, we've made some tweaks:
[CHANGES] Default antialiasing settings are now set to FSR for graphics cards lacking DLSS Frame generation support.
[CHANGES] Improved antialiasing quality for FSR, focusing on boosting Performance.

Thanks for your feedback and thanks for helping us shape the future of Gray Zone Warfare. More fixes coming soon.

Enhance your GZW experience

Hello Everyone,

We are thrilled that so many of you have joined us in Lamang to operate in Gray Zone Warfare! It means the world to us! We are fully dedicated to providing you with as seamless an experience as possible, though please be aware that the game is still in early access development. We will continuously improve the game with each update, and the first one is already underway.

In the meantime, here is some guidance that might help with the most frequently mentioned issues.



[h3]GET THE BEST LATENCY[/h3]
Before deployment, please select the region that best corresponds to your location.

[h3]LOWER THE WAITING QUEUE[/h3]
Please just consider switching to a different region if you encounter long wait times in the queue. However, please keep in mind that this could result in higher latency. You might also consider choosing LRI (LAMANG RECOVERY INITIATIVE) as your faction since it is currently less populated. However, please be aware that once you select this faction, you must stick with it until the next game reset.

[h3]GET THE BEST PERFORMANCE[/h3]
GPU (All manufactures)
Please install the latest drivers for your graphic card.

Nvidia: https://www.nvidia.com/download/index.aspx AMD: https://www.amd.com/en/support/download/drivers.html Intel: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download-center/home.html

NVidia Graphics Cards
Apart from the quality settings level, those are the best settings for smooth performance:
  • For older Graphic cards (30xx and lower) with lower performance, use FSR with Frame Generation On and Super Resolution Performance or Balanced (Options / Graphics / Anti-Aliasing - Upscaling Method)
  • For the NVidia RTX 40xx series cards, use DLSS setup for best performance (Options / Graphics / Anti-Aliasing - Upscaling Method - DLSS)
  • For the NVidia RTX 40xx series, use the Toggle on Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling at 'Windows Display Settings- after enabling/restarting the PC. The frame gen feature will be enabled in the game (Options / Graphics / DLSS Frame Generation)
AMD Graphics Cards
  • For AMD graphic cards, use FSR setup for best performance (Options / Graphics / Anti-Aliasing - Upscaling Method - FSR)
  • For boosting performance further, use Frame Generation On and Super Resolution on settings which provide the best balance performance/image quality (Options / Graphics / Fidelity FX Frame Generation + Fidelity FX Super Resolution)
Intel Graphics Cards
  • For Intel graphic cards, use XeSS setup for best performance (Options / Graphics / Anti-Aliasing - Upscaling Method - XeSS)

[h3]HOW TO "FIX" FRAMERATE STUTTERING[/h3]
Frame rate stuttering may occur during initial gameplay, including short frame lags when visiting some locations for the first time. In rare cases, those using weaker GPUs may experience longer stutters. Please be patient and do not close the game; it will stabilize, and performance should improve.

Thanks for being with us.

Every Move Matters,

- MADFINGER Games Team

Gray Zone Warfare immediately becomes Steam's top seller as it shoots up the most played chart

As expected, the hottest release in realistic military shooters right now, Gray Zone Warfare, has done quite well in such a short span of time. The tactical extraction shooter launched on Steam Early Access earlier today, and has quickly become Steam’s best-selling game.

In fact, because the top seller list is based on revenue, Gray Zone Warfare has two entries in the top five. The standard edition at number one, and the Supporter Edition Upgrade at number three.
