Steam - DayZ - Change Log - 0.44.123800

0.43.116251

Release: 23 March 2014

We appreciate everyones patience in getting this patch released to stable, the bug in 0.42 that caused lag and desync was very hard to track down and fix.

New

New zombie animations in testing (they are considerably faster). We will be engaging with the community to decide if these new animations result in the zombies being too fast.

Fixed

Servers now support accelerated time as a configurable option. This results in faster day/night cycle.
Hotfix to address issues associated with severe lag and desync for many players.

Branch: Stable

ETA: Complete, 5 February 2014

Version: ~~0.33.114855~~ 0.33.114926

This build continues with small bugfixes and several engine changes. A late addition of a significant change to the server variable processing has provided us a major performance boost on the server of around 5-10 FPS.

Once several more of these optimizations are made it will allow us to increase player/zombie numbers and enable loot and zombie respawning.
