Have a great weekend! ːsteamhappyː

Dear Players,

 

It's Monday and that means a fresh start of a brand new week. This also means a brand new patch in New Z! Who's excited? This patch we have done a lot of changes and tweaks to the Competitive game-mode, we have given Caliwood a brand new look and we have done our usual fixes and improvements. Next to all of that this patch contains some event related content for upcoming St. Patrick's day (more information will follow later regarding that btw.) Now, without further ado let's jump into the patch notes!

 

Overall Updates:

GENERAL:

• Grenades have been disabled on "Sniper Only" / "AR Only" limited servers.
• Fixed the HUD translations for "Clan Territory". It was not showing in some languages before.

GAMEPLAY:

• Crouching "footstep" sounds are now properly synced with the character.

MODELS:

• Updated the model of a very much used rock model. Players were able to easily glitch inside this rock and abuse that. (Example of the issue / model: https://prnt.sc/mn1fxn)
• Updated / Improved the render distances / LOD distances of newly made LODs for the Caliwood models added in previous patch (patch 2.19). We will keep improving this based on further observations and feedback from the community.
• The render distance of the military tents has been increased.

 

Item & Skin Updates:

UPDATES & FIXES:

• Updated the Community Box. This box is now legacy so the legacy icon has been added.
• Fixed an issue related to the ACOG sight. In first-person this sight wasn't centered when using with a rifle laser. This has been fixed and the sight has been adjusted back.
• Fixed an issue related to the SVD Shark Attack skin where, when players attached a different scope, the shark attack skin would dissapear. You can now properly attach scopes to this skin again without the skin disappearing.
• Fixed an animation problem with the Riot Shield Stinefelt.

ADDITIONS:

• Added a new country Riot Shield of Japan.
• Added a new skin for the Sig Sauer 556 called: "Sig Sauer 556 Solari".
  
• Added a skinned version of the iron sight to the skin FN Scar CQC Australia.
• Added a skinned version of the iron sight to the skin FN Scar CQC Autumn.
• Added a skinned version of the iron sight to the skin FN Scar CQC Banana.
• Added a skinned version of the iron sight to the skin FN Scar CQC Battle Royale.
• Added a skinned version of the iron sight to the skin FN Scar CQC Camo.
• Added a skinned version of the iron sight to the skin FN Scar CQC Christmas.
• Added a skinned version of the iron sight to the skin FN Scar CQC Chrome.
• Added a skinned version of the iron sight to the skin FN Scar CQC Danger.
• Added a skinned version of the iron sight to the skin FN Scar CQC Elite.
• Added a skinned version of the iron sight to the skin FN Scar CQC Halloween.
• Added a skinned version of the iron sight to the skin FN Scar CQC Ink.
• Added a skinned version of the iron sight to the skin FN Scar CQC Iron.
• Added a skinned version of the iron sight to the skin FN Scar CQC Melon.

Open World Updates:

LOUNGE (Open World):

• Added some reworked skinbox models.
• Improved the overall shadow quality.

COLORADO V2 (Open World):

• Fixed some spawns around NATO Military Base where players were spawning inside trees.
• Some smaller changes to the tree render settings have been made to improve performance.

CALIWOOD (Open World):

Caliwood has had a massive rework where we have migrated back the older original Caliwood map. This means places such as "West Oaks" and "San Pavel" are back. For more information about these changes we'd recommend you to read Steve's dev blog about it: http://forums.fredaikis.com/index.php?/topic/7009-project-caliwood/ Further following changes have been made:

• Reverted back to the original Caliwood; places such as West Oaks and San Pavel are now back on the same map.
• Improved the render and LOD distance of some major city buildings in the main city. Please let us know if you experience any more issues regarding the render distances of the buildings in this map so that we can keep on improving them.
• Updated the overall lighting settings.
• Added some new POI's in the ocean such as container ships and other sea objects. Have a look, it looks very cool!

Please note that since we have migrated back the original Caliwood map, there might be some little places we have missed where some objects might still be flying a little bit. In case you experience this please let us know in a comment on these patch notes, a forum thread, on our discord server or through a support ticket.

 

Competitive:

Also a lot of work has been done to the Competitive game-mode. We are getting very close to a more public beta test where we will allow certain player groups to try out this new game-mode. We are very excited to show you guys more. As you will see below is that based on feedback from earlier testing we have made a Smallville and Clearview themed Competitive map. Players just wanted to have more connection to the War Z / Infestation idea so this is what we went for for now.

OVERALL:

• The Competitive store has been adjusted. Overall prices have been changed and some newer items have been added.
• In the Competitive game-mode teams switch side every round now.
• Players now get a little speed boost when a round starts. This speed boost slowly decreases.
• Player's stamina gets reset when a round starts. This wasn't working properly before.
• There is now an attacking team and a defending team. The attacking team has to conquer one of the (for now) three points. The defending team has to defend them.
• There is now multiple contest points instead of just one. This to vary the gameplay more and give attacking teams a choice. These points will be pre-set on each map and won't randomly change. Attacking teams can choose any of the 3 points when ever they want during a round.

CLEARVIEW (Competitive):

• Added more objects overall for players to have more cover behind. Object amounts have been increased significantly around contest points.
• Come boxes and other "jump-up" objects have been removed because it was too unfair for one side since they could get to a certain point in the map much faster than the other team.
• Some fences got lowered a little bit mainly around the White House.
• Players can no longer get on top of the garage. "jump-up" objects got removed.
• Players can no longer get on top of the police station. "jump-up" objects such as the bus stops got repositioned.
• Improved the overall quality of the lighting.

SMALLVILLE (Competitive):

• Added more objects overall for players to have more cover behind. Object amounts have been increased significantly around contest points.
• Fixed a player spawn that was on top of a building.
• Improved the overall quality of the lighting.

Keep an eye out on our social media channels where further announcements regarding the Competitive game-mode might follow. Stay tuned!

Dear Community,

(Original Post: http://forums.fredaikis.com/index.php?/topic/7167-patch-229/)

This time a smaller update to patch in some Valentine event related stuff. Valentine's Day is tomorrow so we wish you all a happy Valentine! For those wondering, the announcement with all the information regarding this event will be published soon. Enjoy!

 

Overall Updates:

GENERAL:

• Added various Valentine related content for upcoming Valentine's Day events. Announcement and more information regarding this is coming soon.

RADIATION ZONES:

• Increased the radiation zone timer in all game-modes. This means radiation zones now stay longer when appearing before despawning.

GAMEPLAY:

• Updated the eye texture of the NPC's in-game. The eyes were reflecting too much at certain times of the day.

MODELS:

• Improvements / Optimizations have been done to Caliwood related models. Also, fixed some model issues. (Most of these models are only used in the Caliwood map.) Also, cleaned up this asset folder for better performance and faster loading times. Please note that a lot of Caliwood related assets are also used on the Oregon map. Expect performance improvements there as well.
• The "Small Code Locker" (Locker used in the Survival game-mode) now has updated physics. What we did now is that the locker has bullet physics so when players shoot it the locker will block bullets, while players can still clip through. We will see how this goes and based on further feedback after the patch we will make further changes.
• Fixed an issue related to the "Tactical Silencer" model. (Also used on for example the MP5/10 SD) The silencer was for some reason rotated 180* when attached. This is now fixed.
• Added back physics to the Small Code Locker. There was a glitch where players weren't doing damage shooting through these lockers anyways and since we made it so you can't place them near each other anymore we decided to add physics back to fix these abusements and other problems.

 

Item & Skin Updates:

UPDATES & FIXES:

• Fixed an issue related to the K. Style NVG Solari skin where the store icon was glitched and not always showing the correct icon.
• Fixed the icon of the MP5-SD. The wrong silencer was attached on the store icon.

• Updated the logo of the GG Clan Skins and Riot Shield.
