Dear Deadsiders, there will be wipe of the character inventories, safe zone storages and all boxes soon after next update release due to fix of the bug, leading to items duplication.
Bases themself will remain intact, except for those that were built in zones not designated for construction. Every container will be deleted too.

We hope for your understanding.

Friends, while our programmers are working on improving the performance of the game and problems with duplicates of items, the art department continues to increase the content.
Many weapons samples are almost finished and we will gradually begin to introduce you to them.

Steyr AUG

Dear friends, it’s been almost a month since the launch of the game in early access. All this time we’ve been hard working to organize our future plans on supporting and further developing of the game. Today we want to reveal to you that we’re opening official test server. Every upcoming big update will be tested on separate server first, especially those that will consist of the changes for gameplay, netcode and other important mechanics of the game. It will allow us to minimize the possibility of an update to include new bugs along with a fix for the old ones. It will also allow us to collect each of your suggestion about upcoming update and make necessary adjustments before its release. And you will be able to directly affect the quality of the future update.

So how do you get into future server? That’s pretty simple. You’ll need to update the game to test version. In steam library you need to find Deadside, right click on it and choose «Properties». In the window that appears you go to Betas tab and here choose «testserver».

ATTENTION! Your game has to be closed while you’re doing this.

After you do that your game will update to the test version and you will be able to connect to the test server. It can be found in the list of the official servers and called «Official TestServer».

ATTENTION! In order to play the ordinary servers you will need to do the same thing, but in the Betas tab you choose «NONE – Opt out of all beta programs».

Objectives for each test and changelogs will be posted here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/895400/discussions/8/

We will be very grateful for your help. Let’s try our best together to make the game as we all want her to be – big, interesting, fun and most important, error-free!
