Hey Everyone,
Thanks again for your support during the launch week, the team is pushing hard, and we are back with the third update. You can ready full details below, but to highlight things: storage containers will now work, also the several servers that`s been down from Tuesday are back. Prologue now has an intro cinematic. A lot of quality of life improvements like holding LMB to gather resources, and a lot more stability, lag reduction and other bug fixes.
Please note - that some players will loose their Claims as part of today`s big update. This does not effect characters or anything else - as this is not a wipe.
But since we completely rewrote claims code to work with hundreds claims on the server - and some players had a buggy claim before - some players will unfortunately loose their bases. Terribly sorry about this - and again - just like with previous full wipe of Day 1, or the long server timeout of Day 2 - we expect this to only happen once.
We continue working full speed - and you can expect another major Update 4 by Monday (or a smaller Update 4 by tomorrow...we`ll see) Update 4 will include reworked TPS camera with custom zoom levels, as well as fixes to all the vehicle issues, and so much more.
And so - presenting Update # 3(0.66)
- Completing maintenance on several servers that were down overnight
- Fixing Loot Container access bug
- Intro Cinematic for the Prologue - giving backstory on the game, and cool get out of stasis sequence on spawn (it was done before, but had too many issues thus disabled on launch)
