SCUM - Sippy


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1rdQhYRCGU&feature=youtu.be
Here is an awesome video from OG420 describing SCUM before the Maneater update!!



Oh boy oh boy, we didn't do this one in some time.

There is a good reason behind that. You remember my Aloe Vera that was at the vet from last update? Not sure what it has to do with that but he is a sneaky fellow so you never know.

ANYWAY lets get into some sweet sweet things we have in the works for you!



  • Not much to say here, enjoy the screenshots!!





















  • I promise you this tractor will be in the game and I'll make sure you can do awesome things with it.





  • And a dirt bike so you can do fancy jumps No idea if you will be able to do fancy jumps






  • Here you can see, well I'll let your imagination do the work.




  • Sitting and laying animations are being done, with it you can rest up to gain stamina and health faster!


    This is me on patch day




  • This will be a new location, and you can check the real life replica here




  • A look at one of our new locations, this was also replicated from a real landmark. Find out which one!














  • We are doing some work on our UI to have a better overview of your underwater endeavours, and just how long can you keep your breath!


    • Also you will have a visual indication on the lungs on the little guy in left down corner!



Whooo my favorite part, and let me tell you guys, we have some gems this time!


  • But those updates are my job. :(


  • Wrote it down and forwarded to the crew! Good idea!


  • No worries, we are planning to add much more PVE/SP stuff soon!



  • Go commando or go home!



  • No official support...yet. But in the meantime you can check this thread on reddit. It might help you out!


  • Mate, you should take your dog to the vet, just to be sure the dog is okay.


  • Same, same. But the dude above really needs to do it.


  • Hear NMS got some nice updates, hope you're having fun!


  • Obliged!


  • Okay okay okay here you go:

And this is it for today! Also a quick update, no patch this week because of a legit reason. The reason is that dates matter so check what date it is!

Have an awesome rest of the day, and enjoy some sunshine if you can!

Sippy "I'll miss Tena and Ivona this whole week because they are at Gamescom" J Sipmaster
Quake II - contact@rockpapershotgun.com (Katharine Castle)

It’s Gamescom this week, which can only mean one thing – more confirmed ray tracing games for Nvidia’s RTX and selected GTX 16-series graphics cards. Indeed, the big one that’s just been announced is Minecraft, which (like Quake II RTX) is getting full, real-time ray tracing support for everything from water reflections to its entire lighting system. That’s not all, though. Dying Light 2 will also be getting real-time ray tracing, while Tencent’s freshly-announced action survival game Synced: Off-Planet will be getting ray-traced reflections and shadow support.

In truth, the number of games on this list that you can actually play with ray tracing enabled right this second is still pretty small. A lot of the confirmed RTX games you’ll see below still haven’t received their promised ray tracing and performance-boosting DLSS support, so this is more of a complete ‘this is how many games will have it eventually’ kind of thing than ‘these are all the games you can play with ray tracing right now’. Still, if you’re currently on the fence about buying one of Nvidia’s RTX or RTX Super graphics cards as opposed to the new AMD Navi GPUs, this guide should hopefully help you decide whether ray tracing is something worth investing in. Here’s every confirmed ray tracing and DLSS game we know about so far.

Good Friday everyone!

No patch this week due to many reasons. One is that I had to take my Aloe Vera to the vet, crazy life I'm telling you.

But let's show some awesome things you guys created!




This has a Rocky feeling to it, cant wait to see how he will sled down the stairs.



Damn, base build fighting cages that you can build? Would you like that?



We all know those movies when the underdog comes into the ring and wins?



The movies are wrong this is how it really would end.



No funny, cringy message here. I think its just zen.



It's gonna be just a flesh wound they said, do it for the camera they said.



I vote that every time the drone comes close to you it tells you something wholesome.



I think they are so close to finding out those are just cats.



Lol, get John Wicked.



This is just simply awesome, shout out to Non Official for this work!




My favourite part, where we take some question and answer them...SCUM style



  • As soon as Jesus returns we will look into it.



  • Yes.



  • If you have a group of 20 people and they are searching together they should have more items, as they are 20 people. Balance doesn't mean you have to be equal to 20 people.



  • I'll try this on Monday if I get fired it's on you.



  • Nope, we don't have crocs here. But we also don't have wipes that delete everything you worked hard...wait a minute...

    Yea we could look into adding crocs f it.



  • Gonna look into it but always remember.



  • Hey hey, we don't judge or kink shame here. Let the people play with their grenades as they want.



  • You need to be aware that we are sending the patch to thousands of servers worldwide. And some places like Taiwan, Brazil etc.. take longer times. But ofc gportal and we are always working to deploy it as fast as possible.


We have bad puns? Where is my ban hammer.

Who brought some cold ones?

Hello guys we brought for you a new basket of SCUM goodies in it. Let's gather around and see whats in!

NOTE: From today Family Sharing is for now disabled for SCUM.
We have asked Valve to turn off family sharing because multiple character exploit. Valve didn’t communicate with us when or will be this feature turned off, so we weren’t able to pass this information to the community on time.



  • We added a new base build element that gives you more room to scout around your base.

  • I have no idea why it's called like that, but I guess you can shoot at people from it.




  • A subtle way to express your emotions to your visitors. Announced or unannounced they can get a feeling what expects them!

  • But always Zimmer frei




  • We added a new group under options called "Game" we moved the concealed mode in there.

  • Also we added 2 new options to hide ingame announcements and to hide kill notifications.

  • Fixed bug where you could destroy a flag through walls.

  • Fixed issue where a new flag area could overlap an existing flag area.

  • Fixed the bug where ammo in magazines wasn't synchronized for owner on login.

  • Fixed the bug where you would sometimes see the wrong base element when looking near cabin doors.



  • Optimized base data sync to minimize server - client desync.



  • Default palised walls have been increased for 1.5m.

  • Due communities feedback we reduced the weapon sway on handguns.

  • Added needle instead of sewing kit to animal skin quiver recipe.

  • Using actions when low on stamina takes more time to recover.

  • Using jump while running spends stamina without it recovering after.

  • Implemented fill interaction for base building well.

  • Reduced bounciness from grenades, smoke grenades and flash bangs on throwing.

Hello everyone and happy Friday!! We have a new hot & fresh patch for you. That's right a Patch, not another goddamn hotfix. Time to break everything!



Also I don't know if any of you kept count but we did.
This will be our 50th patch total!!!!.
Hoooooraaayyyyyyy!!!!!!!!! Free drinks for everyone!
We want to thank you all for supporting us downthis road and we look forward to see you all with future updates.


Well without further lollygagging lets get this show on a road:

  • Fixed a bug that caused connection timed out to some players.
  • Removed Weird floating white box from level.
  • Fixed the bug where hair and beard would grow in Main Menu
  • Fixed the bug where canceling washing action wouldn't keep wash progress.
  • Fixed the bug where you can cook drinks, they now only loose durability.
  • Removed check taste function on drinks.
  • Disabled dragging items when unable to execute an action.
  • Disabled dragging items onto vehicles.
  • Fixed issues when destroyed base elements would destroy wrong neighboring elements.
  • Fixed a bug where the camera would mess up when eating or drinking in first person.
  • Fixed the bug where holstered weapons would disappear .
  • Fixed the bug where items would appear in vicinity trough base doors.
  • Fixed a bug where weapon attachments could be visually duplicated
  • Fixed a bug where weapon magazines wouldn't show bullets.
  • Fixed a bug where object searching would sometimes falsely report no items found.
  • Fixed a bug where bullets would not pass through car windows.
  • Fixed connection time out bug.
  • Fixed missing bases on server restart.
  • Fixed the bug where Survival stats would calculate calories intake wrong.
  • Possible bug fix to prevent item in hands to become huge in scale.
  • Fixed a visual bug on holstered and in-hands weapon widgets.



  • Admin users can now enable god mode for their user id in config using theirUserId[GodMode]
    Note: God mode means you can build any blueprint without using materials, it does not grant invincibility.
  • Doubled the hair and facial hair growth time
  • Added show base flag area interaction



  • Improved Anticheat system.
  • Reworked base element saving to allow better server restarts and avoid database corruption.
  • Base elements storage optimization in database that will influence faster load.
  • Implemented better penis handling
  • Minor server optimizations
  • Added First Person run stop animation


That's right Tights! Male or female we don't care. Everyone gets some! We have black tights, white tights, leopard tights and tactical tights.All kind of tights. Have I mentioned we added tights yet?





So we all know the famous phrase "get gud" right. The problem arises when getting gud is being obstructed by a target that already got gud. So how a bout a nice safe target that cannot move and you can build in your cozy home. We added 3 targets models so you can practice your sharpshooting whenever you want without annoyances like other human beings or bears. Those goddamn bears...





What is this? Well this is an awesome overhaul that was in the works for some time now. In this game we really tend to go towards realism and the current shooting mechanics felt a bit... off. So an overhaul was made to implement
dynamic weapon movement in first person
.
See it here


We added around 280 animations for hand/weapon movement in first person which includes:
  • Gun sway when aiming around
  • Strafe left/right
  • Gun sway in iron sight mode
  • Idle and walk in iron sights mode
  • Weapon Burst sway in iron sights mode

But we won't stop there more is in the works and waits to be implemented soon:
  • Change fire mode
  • Check fire mode
  • Jump
  • Raise weapon when close to an obstacle
  • Change looking between iron sights and optics when weapon supports both
  • Dual magazines operating (yes, duck taped magazines )

To support new dynamic weapon movement we reworked red dot and holographic sights by adding a parallax effect to it. Now they behave more realistic and follow the direction where your weapon is pointed.

See it here


We are raising the standards so we started replacing all hand-animated weapon handling animations with Motion capture animations that will be recorded with the help of Croatian army weapon specialist so expect that in the future. For now all AK47 animations have been replaced to match new standards.
See it here


See it here





TGIF yaas! Time for a new page, page #19. Soon we will have enough to release chapter. We could have sold those but you deserve it for free so here is the latest issue.

That is all from us for now, hope you enjoy the new update.

SCUM - Frle


Is that a server wide admin announcement you see? You bet it is! Is it screenshotted with a view of Adriatic sea? Well, everyone is already there except us, so why not.

Today we have a real Quality of Life treat for you, so check out what's new in our latest update:



  • We all have to eat to survive and we all know that a static target is a dead one, so here is where our next QoL addition comes in.
    You are now able to move while eating or drinking in standing, crouching
    or prone position.


  • Except eating and not getting your head blown off in the process, hygiene is also an important part of surviving on SCUM island and that means wearing clean clothes and bandaging with clean rags is a must.
    Grab some soap, stand on a water surface and wash all the dirt away!



    • Soap now has 30 usages.
    • You need 10 usages to clean a completely dirty clothing item,
      2 usages for cleaning a dirty rag and 1 usage for a dirty rag stripe.
    • Wash option cleans an item for 10%, while Wash All cleans it
      until it's completely clean.
    • Soap needs to be selected in your inventory or you need to hold it in
      your hands.
    • Washing in salty(sea) water is disabled.
    • Remember not to go too deep into the water because you might lose
      your precious items.

  • You guys wished for the power of destroying your own window fortifications and your wishes are now granted. You can also see how much HP they have.



  • Speaking of windows, we added the infamous borderless fullscreen mode and that means you can now alt-tab peacefully.



  • You want to announce an event on your server? You want everybody to know that you'll spawn 100 puppets? Perhaps you want to send a love message to that invisible hacker?
    All of the above is now possible using one of three types of messages:

    Admin announcement message
    • Use #Announce followed by your message

    Welcoming message
    • A message shown every time someone logs in on a particular server
    • You can change it in the Basic Settings interface on G-Portal pages

    Message of the day
    • A message shown periodically
    • It is also changeable in the Basic Settings interface on G-Portal pages
    • You can change how often does the messages appear, default time is 60 minutes and minimum time is 10 minutes


  • We did an overall sound volume balancing, the game should be a bit louder in general and a lot of the sounds were tweaked accordingly.



  • Fixed the missing textures bug, the one with a grey chessboard pattern all over the map.

  • Fixed the bug where Scorpion 40# poundage was set to 35#.

  • Building anything on top of a vehicle is now disabled (it was easier than making the snowman melt).

  • Fixed the bug where you would shoot a single shot from M16 and hear 2 gunshots.

  • Disabled some more .ini exploits.

  • Fixed a bug where it was possible to drag and drop an item onto an item in inventory, and it would add the item to the item inside the item (if that makes sense) - ©Jesus (programmer)

  • Removed the floating white cube.

  • The issue with AMD GPUs and Realtime Radiosity should now be fixed. Just make sure to update to the latest drivers



A Friday without the SCUM Comic is not a very fulfilling day, but fret not, Ivona has got you covered!
Take a look at all the previous pages in case you missed some:


After you are up to date, check out the newest edition, page 18:




Just as a reminder to our previous post, new server restart times are at 04:00 (4 AM) and 16:00 (4 PM) local server time.

That is all for this update and remember, you don't need any sunscreen if you stay indoors and play SCUM!

Much love,

Hello everyone, happy Wednesday once more!

Hope everyone is having a nice summer and that you're keeping off the heat. We are here yet again with another showcase and Q&A. Since you were robbed of a proper Q&A last time, I've added a couple more in this one. Fortunately, there are always people that have something to say. Before all that, a little announcement.

We have changed the server reset times.
So the server resets every day at 04:00 (4 AM) and 16:00 (4 PM) local server time.

We're also trying a new thing. In order to keep up the flow of communication with our community, we have implemented a new thread which is called "Developers Daily Diary & EA Roadmap". In it we will write updated situations on current progress, so check it out!


So lets get into the showcase:




The 3 little piggies might have bested the wolf but they have yet face the most dangerous beast: man.


There is no chicken dinner here.


We also have mountains you can see and climb.



"Hey dev why are my framerates dropping?"


"Did you just look at my girlfirend bruh?"


A certain rapper approves this image.


Careful of the wizard.


Breathtaking.

Set the controls for the heart of the sun.


Beware of the radioactive dogs comrade.(And no this does not mean we are adding radioactive dogs.)



Alright time for some Q&A:

  • It is planned somewhere down the line.


  • But it makes the trees grow back faster.


  • This is a problem in single player. It seems to not save the time of local client so it resets every time you login. We are working on the fix.


  • The cooking became more elaborate and we are still working on improving it further. BBQ is meant to be here for raw meat not skewers. Also, be careful on the BBQ. You need to find and tune perfect heat so your meat does not burn. If durability starts dropping rapidly it means it is burning.


  • Sticks and stones...

    Jokes aside we tend to avoid wipes as much as we can but sometimes they are necessary. You should see Leva's face when he figures there will need to be a wipe and he will lose all his progress. I'll tell you what server he is on for 5$ on my paypal


  • As for the wipe same as above. We avoid them as much as possible. But if you feel burnt out it is understandable. Hey, if taking a break means you can enjoy the game even more once we roll more out go for it. As for the update times I answered this before. Things are not that simple. You might not be affected by certain issues, but some players are, and everyone deserves to play right? Also, if we have something we consider ready for release, why not release it and see if or what issues it causes with the rest on live build. It is better practice than releasing a bunch of stuff at once and then everything is a mess.


  • Good news on that front. NPCs and missions are all planned to make an appearance. As well as further loot balances.


  • What the heck are tattons?


  • Wipes usually don't touch single player save files unless something goes terribly wrong but that is another subject.


  • As always, verify your steam files first. If that does not work, try going to: C:\Users\*username*\AppData\Local\SCUM and delete the saved data folder. That usually fixes the situation but unfortunately you will lose your SP progress. Multiplayer is safe as that is stored on the server.


  • I plead the fifth.


  • I censored this reply a little, if you are interested the original is still there so you can look it up. The question is good so here we go: Yes, that function has always been planned.


  • Hard choice.


  • Someone didn't read the FAQ.


That is it from us for now. Stay safe out there.
Your favorite drink, Bedämeister

Greetings everyone and Happy Friday. Our Hotfix gun is not empty yet so here we go firing another one:



  • Fixed a bug where bases would randomly disappear.

  • Potential fix for a bug where a player wouldn't be able to connect to the servers.

  • Tweaked the HP and damage model on some base building elements.

  • Fixed floating foliage on castle.

  • Fixed a bug on interaction with bushes.

  • Potential fix for server crashes.

  • Removed the ability to build blueprints inside enemy Flag zones.

WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In order to implement these fixes effectively a full wipe is needed. Also during these issues a lot of players were affected with losses of items so we are leveling the field.



It is Friday! As usual it means a new comic page! We know you love them.
If you missed any of the previous editions here is the list:


And now for the newest edition, page 17:


That is it from us, hope to see you out there on the island.

The one that turns wine into water, Beda.
