Patch Notes
If last time you played the game was this Winter or even Fall of last year — there's too many changes to count. If were chasing the survivors just last weekend — here's the list of changes for this week:
v.0.7.9.4.190502
- Fixed sliding animations
- Fixed the bug with the safe zone train stops
- Fixed the main menu UI bugs

v.0.7.9.3.190430

- Major UI overhaul
- New main menu
- New match end screens
- New airdrop UI
- Changed the color corresponding to health
- Added armor pickup sign
- Fixed freezes that occurred while connecting to a lobby
The Road Ahead
We've got big plans for the game. You can find the roadmap above, but we'd like to address three major community requests separately.
1) Regional servers
As of right now, the game's servers are located in Germany. This means that players from the Asia-Pacific region, South America and West Coast of the US might experience latency issues.
We will be closely monitoring the player count in every region, and as soon as we see that regional servers are a viable option, we'll start working on implementing them ASAP.
2) Playing with your friends
This is one of the most frequently requested features, it will be added into the game soon. For now — hit "Play" at the same time as your friends, and you should end up in the same lobby.
3) Control rebinds
Another very important for a competitive game feature. We know it can be a pain, especially if you've used your custom keybinds for years. We'll work on implementing it as soon as we can, but it may take a little longer than the first two.
All aboard the hype train for tomorrow!
