This patch focuses primarily on optimization for micro stutters, bug fixes, and more. Micro Stutters Performance and micro stutters have been our top priority for many months. Recently, we have been focusing the internal structures that were optimized pre-Windows 10 Creators Update. These should reduce many of the micro stutter symptoms that have been idenitifed by our internal QA teams as well as the community. A huge thank you to everyone who has sent videos and information - these have been immensely helpful as we have been able to reproduce and address specific issues and find opportunities to optimize the game code. Here are the specific changes in this update: Op…

The newest update is coming to the Live servers on 2/5 at 7am PT. Downtime is expected to be 6 hours. In an effort to get back to the roots of H1Z1 we made the following improvements.

Therefore we have taken significant steps to address issues related to this by making adjustments to both the movement system and its values to improve gameplay and nerf ENAS. The details are provided below. Added functionality that slows player movement on rapid mouse input to combat ENAS. Reconfigured how player heading u…
