Official servers did not get wiped due to this update

Hello Survivors!

The new servers are doing well, no issues to report thus far. If you didn't know, when 0.998 got released first, the servers borked out. I have since updated our networking solution to the latest version and rewrote bits to make it compatible with Nomad.

I'm aiming to get this patch stable before moving on to adding more exciting things, such as more vehicles, safe zone features, more quests, more weapons etc. I have a lot planned for Nomad, so keep checking back regularly to see.




[h2]Bug Fixes[/h2]

• Doors no longer sometimes get destroyed instantly when upgrading
  
• Key bindings now register the Left and Right Shift key
  
• Cursor no longer shows when in the quest window
  
• Data checks to ensure player gets properly spawned when recipe and XP files cannot be loaded
  
• Shipwrecked Package quest item is now lootable
  
• Diabetic Daughter quest item is no longer behind a invisible wall
  
• Vehicle headlights are no longer shown on the map
  

[h2]Engine[/h2]

• Fixed weird shadows shaking
  

[h2]Server[/h2]

• Reduced the number of network messages player and vehicles give out per second
  
• Reduced Speex codex to 8K, down from 16K. You will experience lower quality voice samples but now is less strain on the server.
  

[h2]User Interface[/h2]

• You can now reset keybinds directly within the keybinds window

• Zombie Brutes now have 280 hp, up from 300

Hello survivors,

Nomad 0.998 is now back out on the live branch. I hope everything is fixed as everything went smoothly on the beta versions.

To read the full changelog of 0.998, go here https://store.steampowered.com/newshub/app/378370/view/2190384257588946579

Thanks to everyone who provided feedback and testing!

Nomad 0.998.14 is now available on the beta branch on Steam! Upgraded the networking so we need to test things before this goes to live. Yes, it's the vehicles update.

As you know, I had to revert the update due to massive server errors. That's why I upgraded our networking solution and rewrote part of the game. It took a while but it's here.

To join the Nomad 0.998 beta, right click Nomad in your Steam Library > Properties > Betas > Select the beta branch (0.988 beta). Once you've done this, the game will redownload.

Join up, help us test!

Hello Survivors.

I've been working on a massive update for Nomad, you may have played it. Unfortunately 0.998 isn't quite ready to be released as it has a lot of bugs with it. Mainly issues with the server. This is because I have reworked some of the server networking code. I have reverted the main branch of Nomad back to the stable 0.997 whilst I fix 0.998.

Not sure how long this will take but thanks for playing and letting me know everything that was wrong with the latest patch. Unfortunately stuff like this happens when you are working on stuff alone.

I'll keep you updated through here and/or on the main discord (which you can join here https://discord.gg/znpKqsb)

Sorry for the trouble!
