Rather than freezing for several seconds when loading or unloading large bases in multiplayer, the work is now spread over multiple frames at a slightly lower framerate. This is hopefully better, but certainly not perfect yet. These improvements depended on the netcode rewrites from earlier this year, and likewise further improvements will depend on this update.

Big thanks to PandahutMiku for extensive help testing and providing feedback on these changes!



There was a minor addition to the server monetization rules: "Fictitious and deceptive pricing is not allowed. For example, lying that a discount is nearly expired, or pretending the price is discounted when it has never been at full price. We would strongly advise following Steam's discounting rules to help avoid breaking any real-world laws."

Unlike the previous rules there was no prolonged advanced warning period because this seems like an obvious rule that should not have needed explicitly stating.

Added:

• Deadzone full suit protection option.
  
• Level asset skill default and max level overrides.
  
• Trap_Setup_Delay and Trap_Cooldown options for traps.
  
• NPC Global Event Hook component for modders.
  

Changed:

• Interactable item dropper and binary switch can set Hint to Custom to use Interact token.
  

Fixed:

• Explosive bullets inconsistently hitting curved road.
  
• Incorrect umbrella item icon bounds.
  

Quoted from MoltonMontro's announcement of Yarrrr's retirement from Unturned yesterday:

It has been an honor to work alongside Yarrrr for as many years as I have been able to. He has been a part of the community since the beginning. Now, as Yarrrr is retiring from the community, it is time to say farewell. I have no doubts when I say that he has had a profound impact on the game and its various communities.

Yarrrr has stepped down from his administrative roles on the Steam Discussions forum, our SDG Forum, the game wikis, and the official Discord server.

I am extremely happy for him to have stuck around for as long as he has, and I know there are many veterans who will be sad to see him retire. Best wishes to Yarrrr, and whatever he focuses his time towards next!

Fixed:

• Individually replicated structures using wrong fractional precision.
  
• Groups, airdrops, and weather not closing savedata stream. Thanks DiFFoZ!
  
• Ignore request to save if level has not finished loading.
  
• Plugin disabling freecam, admin edit, or name overlay force disables on client.
  
• Spec ops helmet missing from Russia and Germany spawns.
  

Зефирка has replaced the Ireland map with a reenvisioned / remastered Winter update! They are looking for modders to help on the project, and would be happy to hear from you if you are interested in joining their team.

We have collaborated with Makeship to bring the Chef Zombie to life in the form of a limited-edition collectible plush toy!

Edit: the funding goal of 200 orders required for production was met! Thank you to all the early customers for your interest and support. For anyone still interested, the campaign will remain open to orders until the 1st of July, 2021. More details here:

• Added command-line "-FullscreenMode=#" window mode override. Unity built-in command-line arguments take priority.
  
• Updated from Unity 2019.4.20f1 to 2019.4.28f1.
  
• Fixed a few bugs with -OfflineOnly dedicated server option.
  

During the Unity upgrade there were some instances where serialized material and texture references needed to be reassigned. Hopefully all of these have been caught, but if there is a weird new visual bug it is probably related to this, and should be an easy fix.



The rules announced on 2021-05-14 are now in full effect. Read more details here.

Over the warning period these past two weeks twelve server networks were reported. Every notified host graciously cooperated, and at this time there are no reported servers in bad standing.



Unfortunately as predicted some visual bugs crept through with the Unity upgrade. Namely some NPCs not wearing clothes, and a variety of decals not working in deferred rendering mode. These should be fixed now.
