It’s a bit of a good news, bad news day for DayZ players. Today developer Bohemia Interactive dropped DayZ ver. 1.11, which addresses a lot nagging issues players have been complaining about for ages, including wonky vehicle physics and broken zombie AI. Sounds great, but there’s a catch – the update also comes with a total wipe of characters and official servers. You can check out a quick teaser trailer for the new DayZ update, below.
Here’s a basic rundown of the fixes included in DayZ ver. 1.11. If you looking for more detail, you can check out the full changelog here.
- Fixed various zombie behaviors such as the infected colliding and going through the player’s character.
- Interaction with cars is more realistic, fixing random character bugs when entering and leaving cars.
- No more strange interruptions when sea fishing.
- Huge improvements to horticulture.
- Polished damage dealing and triggers.
- Massive improvement on the engine script, allowing servers to load more mods than ever before.
It isn’t all about the fixes – the update also includes a new weapon, the SVAL automatic rifle, which will spawn at helicopter crash sites. New 20 round magazines of 9×39 ammo will be available for both the SVAL and VSS rifles. And yes, again, servers are being wiped – here’s Bohemia Interactive’s justification…
Paired with the update, we had a complete wipe on all official servers. The wipe is meant to compliment the update 1.11 for a fresh start into 2021. It also secures us a clean foundation to monitor the changes made with previous economy updates.
DayZ is available on PC, Xbox One, and PS4, and playable via backward compatibility on Xbox Series X/S and PS5. What do you think about the approach Bohemia has taken to this update? Is clearing up some old problems worth the total server wipe?
