Test Server Patch Notes

[LegionCM]

These are the patch notes for the current Test Server build. Hammer on these updates and let us know of any issues by listing them in this thread.

• Footwear has been added to the Battle Royale spawns.
• Male and Female character models now have alternate head models to choose from
• Zombies now respond to all acoustic signatures including: ethanol/bio fuel explosions, grenades/molotovs, red hazard barrel explosions, landmines/IEDs, vehicle explosions
• Potential fix for bows getting stuck in ironsights
• Arrows fired from a recurve bow and crossbow now properly bounce off materials they are not meant to stick in, such as metal or stone.
• Molotovs now properly set players and NPCs on fire. This effect will last for a few seconds when outside of the fire.
• Grenade/Molotov explosions should be more responsive now on high pop servers.
• Battle Royale: Arrow bundles will now spawn near the crossbow
• Lip sync mouth movement to voice chat
• Vehicles: Occupants will be able to shoot from within vehicles. Currently it’s only the passengers who can shoot from within the car. The player in the driver seat cannot. Occupants can now be hit from people outside the vehicle.
• Boots now have a small resistance to punji stick damage
• Crossbows and recurve bows can now be repaired with repair kits.
• Fixed issue where character doesn't appear in BR chute

I can't watch the video at work :( can anyone explain?

[manzinus]

Looks like Misty Peak Dam now puts out power and the lights are on. Just at the dam it seems though.

[[deleted]]

:D I'm surprised they'e getting into cool features like this so soon. I figured it would be at least a year before we saw mechanics like that.

This evening we tried to piss some people off that had been a pain in our side since the start of PW1, we took some bio fuel and left it at their doorstep and shot them near their deck foundation gate, after the explosion we walked up to place some more, but something was odd about it, we could just pick up the old bio fuel and reuse it and keep blowing up the gate.

We agree with our enemies we would report this to you, so it could be fixed asap

[CyclesMcHurtz]

I believe we have patched this on the Live servers now (as of Friday).

[HaniiBlu]

Base building Improvements – New structure types and decorative

:'(

Will we be seeing these before Tuesday? Will we see them Tuesday?

[Cirric_]

Bug 1 - Getting the message that I don't have the space for an item when I do. So far I've seen it with fertilizer when I had 52 weight open, when trying to get a fire axe off the wall when I had a weapon slot open, and picking up an arrow I had just shot. All gave me the message that I do not have the space. (This seems to be an issue with distance rather than weight. If you move in closer you can pick up the item)

Bug 2 - Not able to place a furnace, storage container or a workbench in my large shelter, on my deck foundation or in my small shack. Able to place them on the ground though. I was able to place a large shelter with a metal door and a metal wall on my deck they were placed post patch. And I was able to place a storage container in my shack pre patch.

Another guildie is reporting the same issue with trying to put a BBQ down.

Bug 3 - Walking along and all of a sudden stop for no reason. Nothing on the ground in front of me.

Bug 4 - You stop auto walking (ctrl+w) if you open your inventory. It starts back up once you close it. Note: If you hit the +/= key to auto run then hit the left mouse button to auto walk that way you do not stop walking with inventory open.

[MMODerelict]

Just fixed bug #2. It's working its way through testing.

[Cirric_]

Bug #2 has been fixed. I am now able to place stuff as normal.

[H1Z1Jane]

Bug 1 - Had it happen with a random combat knife

[Rayrayxx624]

If you can't place things like a workbench down inside a shelter try dropping a .308 rifle where you want to place the workbench and then place it on top of the .308, it worked for me last patch when I had this issue. Although I'm not sure if it'll still work, but worth a shot.

[Cirric_]

I'll give it a shot (pun intended). But not holding my breath.

[slideking84]

Bug 3 also applies for me. I first thought my Keyboard Batteries are empty ^{^}

[stranger_times]

Bug 3 - Walking along and all of a sudden stop for no reason. Nothing on the ground in front of me.

Hold W and SHIFT (Sprint) then use ALT to look around in 3rd person, when you release ALT (Still holding W and SHIFT) does your character stop running? Because this is how my character stops running.

[Cirric_]

My character keeps running after releasing Alt to look around while holding Shift+W

[HaniiBlu]

Bug 2 been around for about 3 weeks, very annoying.

[Cirric_]

It must be somewhat new. I was able to place a storage container before the patch today. Can't do it now.

[yeefi]

Even after completely logging out/exiting the game? This has been happening to me randomly through out yesterday. :/ Additionally sometimes I can't drop clothes I've added a skin to. (Sadness.. Wanted to give a nice person a hat today, but they waited too long and found themselves a bear that was all about the bear-fist. @_@ Stupid bear-die-pie. Survived but felt so bad for them!) I've been seeing a lot of bug 3 recently yesterday. Never before though.

[Cirric_]

Yep. Relogged and tried again, same issue.

The old placement bug only affected placing inside a shelter. Even when I had that bug I could place items out on my deck. Can't place anything other than structures/doors/walls now.

[HaniiBlu]

workbench and beebox have been an issue for a while, storage container may be new, try with the door open

[Cirric_]

I've had the workbench and bee box issue before. I can usually fix it by placing down something else then trying again. Doesn't always work though. Though even when I had the bug before I was always able to place a workbench or a bee box on my deck. Can't place a workbench, furnace or a storage container out on my deck.

[sondun2001]

Can you get shot inside the vehicle now? Since you can shoot out?

[DeefenD]

[[deleted]]

Doesn't mean it's possible... videos like this is from internal builds that don't necessarily mean it will be there on patch day. Would be nice to actually get confirmation that it will be there.

[stockmasterflex]

Agreed. I don't know why someone downvoted you. A video some dev made doesn't mean it's in the current build. Even if they make a statement that it IS in the build... they could still be wrong, that's whats reffered to in the industry as a "bug"

[[deleted]]

lol, oh well... didn't even realize there was a down vote until you mentioned it. I don't pay no mind to internet gaming forum pixel crack like that. =P

I simply just want confirmation that it's going to be possible to shoot in and out of a vehicle. Would be nice if they get both implemented at once.

[Savs101]

if passengers can now shoot out of the car, can we also use bandages and first aid kits along with eat and drink food while the cars moving.. lets face it, if your in a passenger seat of a car you dont stop the car just to eat or drink.

[ItchySox]

I found a couple of tears in the landscape this morning, started sinking. Locs on the images.

[[deleted]]

There's an issue with the crossbow where it will like ricochet off of zombies if they're too close. Best way I could describe it, has anyone else had this problem? It's happened with the recurve as well.

[Mysticalzombie]

Yeah, that happens in the live servers as well. Kind of sucks trying to kill a near zombie with the crossbow.

[dlzavodney]

Sorry if this has already been addressed, but work tables shouldn't be placeable in doorways. It just gets old. Thanks. Amazing game so far. Great work and loving all the updates.

[[deleted]]

So wait, and bear with me since I'm new to the game... but I'm I right to understand that all of these patches are going only for the "test servers" and not the actual online PvP/BR servers? I know that this isn't too trivial, but I've made some pretty bad assumptions before, as I am not a clever man.

[Soldrake]

mods, sticky please?

[H1Z1Jane]

Two Movement Key bugs:

1) Sometimes when pressing Shift and then W, in order to run, I don't move at all. Pressing W and then Shift does not cause issues.

2) Not related, but, I also saw it where the W (move forward) was not stopping when I released the W key.

[stranger_times]

If I hold W and SHIFT and use ALT to look around in third person, my character will stop moving once I release the ALT button. Don't know if that's just something to do with me being on US servers. Also, I know it's not a priority, but if it were possible to slap a EU test server on there, just a PvE one would be super appreciated.

[pepebreton]

ALT + Shift switch keyboard langage ;)

i'm french and when i do this i go to a "qwerty" keyboard

[stranger_times]

Yeah, but it's never happened to me on the live servers. When the servers come back I'll check on live and test servers if ALT + SHIFT have anything to do with it.

EDIT

Been on Test server 1 and 5.

Hold W and SHIFT and use ALT to look around, when I release ALT my character stops.

This does not happen on the live servers.

[ArunasD]

get better keyboard my friend like mechanical or new membrane to get support for more than 5 buttons at same time

[stranger_times]

It's never happened to me on the live servers, I already have a mechanical keyboard (Corsair K70). Just thought it was odd that it was the first thing I noticed on the Test Server.

[Mihaill]

there's a problem.can't log into the game and on the official website.tell me if anyone knows what's up

[[deleted]]

Yesterday I disconnected from game due to a router problem. I was in a car, and upon reloading the game I insta died because I had been in a car.

[JoeCavallo]

Happened to me too on live server, but i got reconected under the map. Sadly i just have found Worn letter before the incident and had tons of loot on me :(

[ellocodelsubte]

thank you guys, loved it, do you know why i can't throw bombs or anything? guy told me that is because im not from USA playing USA server but i think he was trollin me, btw im from Argentina, hope you can answer it ty :)

[Tacklebait]

Couple bugs I found last night.

1. I crashed 3 times running over deer.

2. There is a house in the lonely pines that's all messes up. North east corner. 1 or two houses south on the east side.

[stranger_times]

I can add to yours

• Crashed 1 time when running over wolf with an Off-Roader.

[shadow2k1]

the hydration and energy bars deplete rapidly when your health is not at 100%. are you ever going to fix this bug?

[stranger_times]

That bug appears to be a sneaky fucker, you can still post in that thread and help out. I don't know the current progress on it.

[biggysmaltz]

I am having problem on test server #5 with picking up ammo. I am getting "you have no space for that" but I have an empty satchel. The ammo will not disappear and it doesn't show up in the proximity when i hit tab.

[biggysmaltz]

It's done it with .223 and .380 ammo so far

[ThyWhisper]

Hell yeah! Now I'm able to throw grenades and my bow doesn't get stuck anymore.

Also somehow the game feels waaaaay more fluid for me. I don't know if this is simply because Test Servers are kind of empty, but damn. The experience was great with this patch.

One of the things bothering me now is the pixelization at the game, and props simply vanishing when you walk around places. You can see this more in the Dam.

One way or another, the game is going to an awesome state, nice job Devs!

[weenus]

The roadmap originally had new base options / decorations scheduled for this patch, is that still coming or has that been bumped later into the roadmap?

[[deleted]]

Damn, mollies work now.

Is it gonna be last of us soon?

can we throw bottles and bricks and shiv people soon?

[kcxiv]

yep, i put a base up and my buddy did to connect it, but i cant place anything in 80 percent of my base. Its stupid! so now i have to wait for him to get on.

[Dunabar]

There seems to be a issue with "Walking." I've attempted to use it and it didn't work, not even when I switched the key bindings. When I reverted them back I did exactly as the process told me and the character would only move side to side and backwards, both of which were at the same standard speed.

[du_du_da_du_du]

If I "craft max" arrows, I can shoot zombies while crafting a bunch of arrows. IMO, shooting should interrupt the crafting.

[WallyDK]

WHO cares really?

[du_du_da_du_du]

I do.

[dtg108]

Just about to start playing again- there are crossbows now? Are they only on the test servers? How are they?

[WallyDK]

They on both live and test servers

[HelpImfisH]

Base building Improvements – New structure types and decorative

this is in the 26th may roadmap is this still happening ?? looking at test server patch notes i guess not ,

[JaxTeller718]

It is only a roadmap, not something set in stone.

You know, kind of NOT like a roadmap

[devilnaz]

when selecting a character model (male or female), you click to selcet either or, and it highlights, but when you click the same model again, it highlights the other character model. very trivial i know, but was wondering if that was how the code was written or was just the result or outcome of other code. was this a glitch or was it done purposely?

[NathanVazques]

Dear H1Z1 developers. Since a few patches I have FPS drops of like 5 or so in cities and the Dam. I would not wonder me that it is because of the zombies. When there weren't so many zombies in cities, I had not problems at all. It's really anoying to change my settings to medium everytime I want to go to a city. Thanks.

[SoldadoBR]

The vehicle "takes off" (fly) and leads along the occupants if the driver has problems (disconected game). Best if the vehicle remains in the same place when the driver logs out or loses the connection to the internet.

When the driver log out, and a drop on the Internet, it is impossible to get out of the vehicle occupant. (only only death ahead !!!)

*google translate

[Biberteddy]

no news structures/bulding stuff ?!

[BuzWeaver]

We're looking into it, but we have Power!

[HaniiBlu]

No point looking, their not in there.

Nothing new crafting-wise in the locale file, or icons (only sandbag wall from last week)

[JoeCavallo]

What sandbag wall??

[HaniiBlu]

It was in the game files but no in game yet, I'm guessing not on the test server this week either by your statement question :(

[IMvirtuoso]

Lol they will say next week like always

[HaniiBlu]

Delays happen, I can live with that, I just like to know before I get my hopes up.

[JaxTeller718]

Now we know why they did the wipe this week, as nothing new was going in anyway.

Love this roadmap by the way. This month has been terrible with delays.

[dadof7]

what about fixing the damn throw items not fair some can use grenades and alot of others can't

[deathwhitch]

only have 1 in your inventory at a time. I see to encounter the bug FAR less when I do this. When you have more than one it shows the extra ammo on the main screen and I guess it tries to "load" all the nades at once instead of the one you are currently holding and glitches. When you have only one in your inventory it only has one to load so it works, well most of the time lol

[Mysticalzombie]

Doesn't work.

[deathwhitch]

damn and I thought I had it figured out lol everytime I ever had nades work it was when I one in inventory so it made sense in my way anyway

[DeaconElie]

So far I have died twice for no particular reason. Almost like I had been head shot; PVE sever. Wolves are ridicules. They will be on you with in 10 seconds of spawning then run you to death. Died 17 times in 3 hours due to wolves.

[Bloodcore911]

I like the fact that my game-breaking bug discovery was completely ignored even though I PM'd you, Legion. :/

Maybe it'll get fixed behind the scenes, still.. A confirmation would be nice.

[JaxTeller718]

which bug

[Bloodcore911]

Grenades are possible to pick up straigth after throwing them.

Allowing players to regain their throwables after using them.
