Expect to see a hotfix coming at around 2pm (Pacific) today. It's client-only, so now server downtime is required.

Changes include:

• A change has been made to prevent situations where players could circumvent the region locking mechanism.
  
  
• Fixed the bug where would occasionally cause a player’s region selection to randomly change on login.

Unrelated to this hotfix, but knowing you might be interested; after literally working all night, one of our engineers was able to identify what we believe is the root cause of the grenade/throwables crash. A fix has been checked-in on our internal environment. Our Dev/QA teams are planning to do a few playtests this afternoon to confirm that the crash is fixed. Barring any new issues arising, we might try and publish late tonight (after the NA Showdown) or early tomorrow morning. Again, we haven’t confirmed that its 100% fixed yet, but I wanted to share the status of the progress we’re making.

A hotfix just went out and it contains the following changes:

• Improvements to player movement that should reduce character warping in certain situations.
  
  
• Fixed a bug that surfaced with skirmishes last weekend where match winners would occasionally receive “2nd Place” results.
  
  
• Fixed a bug where some players were incorrectly disconnected for unfair gameplay.

Also, the feedback on framerates after the hotfix yesterday has been mostly positive. However, I do see that some are still reporting FPS drops in the more dense regions of the map and our engineers are continuing to troubleshoot those cases. If you have any sample clips with this happening to you, please respond with links if possible.

Thanks again for your help and make sure to tune into the Australian Showdown tonight! -- https://www.h1z1.com/king-of-the-kill/showdown

A hotfix just went out and it contains the following changes:

• Additional changes have been made to further improve framerate for players that saw a decrease in FPS after last week’s game update.
  
  
• Based on player feedback the ability to toggle shadows on/off has been added to the in-game options menu. However, as with other gameplay rules, we may enforce shadows to be turned on for some game modes or events in the future.

What is a Skirmish? We’re glad you asked! Skirmishes provide variety to the game by adding alternate ruleset matches that run only on weekends. These rulesets will rotate on a regular basis and modifications range from limiting weapon types to changing loot to altering how safe zones work.

To kick off the return of Skirmishes, we are proud to reintroduce a fan favorite: Shotties and Snipers. The only weapons you will find in the match will be the Shotgun and the Hunting Rifle. Put your long and short-range weapons skills to the test.

Shotties and Snipers Skirmish will be available every weekend through the remainder of the month of May starting Fridays at 10:00am PT and running through the following Mondays at 10:00am PT. These will be the only times you can join a Skirmish match. You can find Skirmishes under the Play option in the Main Menu.
