Dear Community,
A smaller patch to fix some issues, do some improvements and to disable the Christmas 2019 content. Quick note here: the Christmas 2019 event and content is disabled meaning that the Christmas trees are gone, Christmas loot is no longer spawning etc. although the major Winter event is still active and running.
Now, in this update we are also introducing a smaller feature called the Waypoint System.
We are working very hard on a bigger patch for 2.43 but for now this update was mandatory to be rolled out.
Enjoy!
Overall Updates:
GENERAL:
- Removed all the Christmas content from the maps. Christmas 2019 event is fully disabled now.
- Fixed an issue related to trading game dollars where when players traded over 2.1 billion game dollars the game dollars number would show incorrect or glitch after trading.
- Fixed / improved overall server stability and connection.
- Fixed an issue causing the report message box to stay open and bug your game after you revive yourself.
- Fixed backpack name text being too large for it's container. Sometimes the text wouldn't properly resize when it was too long.
- Increased the clan territory transport spawn protection from 5 to 10 seconds.
TAUNTS:
- Added a new taunt: "Dance V1".

WAYPOINT SYSTEM:
- Added a new system: The Waypoint System. Using this system players can mark a location on their minimap. This location will only show for yourself. You will be able to see the set waypoint on your minimap, in the in-game HUD and in the HUD compass. This will make it easier to travel to a set location without having to open the minimap all the time.
SLICER ZOMBIE:
- The new slicer zombie is almost ready! We are currently doing final testing so we can 99% sure say that in the next upcoming patch the new creature will be released into the worlds of New Z! Now, one of the things left to do for us is to decide it's spawn behavior. When should it spawn, and where. If you guys have any ideas feel free to let us know in the comments!
Item & Skin Updates:
FIXES:
- Fixed the K. Style NVG Devil Horn textures. The skin wasn't using the correct textures.
