Hey Survivors!

Today, we are going to restart servers and release a small patch. This patch contains minor bug fixes and content for the upcoming Valentine event and Season Pass 18 (more information soon).

Here is a small list of fixes:

• Fixed a bug where shotgun shells would disappear when players reloaded.
  
• Improved the render distance of medium-sized objects.
  
• Increased the private server de-spawn timer from 5 to 10 minutes in all game modes.
  • This will help players retrieve their items if they die or crash.
• Fixed AI spawning without any gear on PVP servers.
  
• Improved hit registration while laying down.
  • This needed to be fixed due to reports of players getting shot while laying down.
• Adjusted the timer and distance of item spawns at helicopter crashes in Survival.
  • We are still trying to find the perfect balance, but we believe it is better now.
• Fixed some building materials that didn't have assigned footstep sounds.
  • This was mainly happening in any 5-story building in Survival.

Downtime will be a maximum of 45 minutes, depending on the servers.
A separate announcement will be coming soon about the Valentine event—and yes, it will start today. Stay tuned!
