[H1Z1 Updates] Server Maintenance 11/7
by KZG Bot- 0 replies
- 595 views
We’ll be bringing the servers down tomorrow (11/7) at 8am PT for maintenance, the downtime will be approximately 4 hours. This maintenance will not include the content we recently pushed to Test last Friday. That content needs more time for feedback and adjustments tweaks before we push it Live. While we are performing maintenance on the servers we will push a small number of fixes out as well that we detailed earlier. • Starting a reload at the same time as entering a vehicle should no longer result in incorrect clip size or situations where the gun appears to be reloaded but is still empty. • Entering a vehicle while reloading should no longer prevent the player from…

Thank you all for helping us test the revamped Events system with the Swagnum Opus ruleset on EU and NA servers! There is still more work to be done on the system, so Swagnum Opus will be reverting to a Skirmish mode for the weekend. We want to make sure that everyone still has a chance at the rewards, so we are continuing to work on the Events system so we can open them up to the rest of the world next week. The Swagnum Opus Skirmish will be available from now until 10AM PT on Monday, October 2. To play, select "Skirmish" from the "Play" menu!View the full article

[H1Z1 Updates] Z1BR and the Road Ahead of Us
by KZG Bot- 0 replies
- 577 views
First off, thank you all for your patience as we worked through what’s next for Z1BR. We have a deep love for this game. H1Z1 on PC, after all, is the OG BR game that launched the most popular genre in the world, and many of us have spent years working on it. We know as well as anybody how much the landscape for battle royale has changed over that time; but we still believe there is a special something to H1’s unique flavor of no-frills BR. The dev team at NantG did an amazing job bringing Z1BR back to its roots, but the sudden transition left the game in today’s uncertain state. The challenges are real and significant. But we also know that many of you love this game…

Reticle Blocking BegoneCurrently there are two situations where your reticle will get blocked, aiming uphill and while crouch strafing, both of which make it extremely difficult to aim. With today's patch we have made the following adjustments that address these issues: Lowered the weapon placement on the back of the character model to prevent weapons from blocking the reticle when aiming up hill. Moved the crouched camera height up to prevent the players head from blocking the reticle when strafing side to side while crouched. Optimizations Made an optimization to how the system handles packet bundling. Players should be seeing an improvement of 5-10 ms in their…

Hey Guys and Gals, The biggest thing to note with today's update is that we will be resetting ranks and paying out another round of Conquest Crates based upon your current best rank in Solos, Duos, and Fives.

There are less than two weeks left before the H1Z1 Invitational at TwitchCon[www.h1z1.com], and this update is all about correcting a few bugs and issues before the big tournament begins. As a reminder, we are not planning to make any major changes to the core gameplay between now and TwitchCon, as players have been training and prepping on the current build and we don't want to disrupt that. Updates: Improved smoke grenades obscuring of players and objects. Opening the inventory while running no longer briefly stops your character. Aim-point should be more consistent when aiming down sights as you exit cover. Items that are equipped via double-click while auto-running …

[H1Z1 Updates] Steam Community Market Update
by KZG Bot- 0 replies
- 562 views
Today we’ve updated H1Z1 with additional Steam Community Market support. Previously, only locked Crates could be traded, but starting now, all tradeable items from within those crates, along with tradeable special event and giveaway items, can be traded on the Steam Marketplace. We’re excited to bring yet another option to all of you, allowing each player to put their unique spin on their in-game personality. While some games on Steam allow for their in-game items to be listed instantly upon being added to a player's inventory, H1Z1 will retain the current 7-day waiting period before items can be placed on the Steam Community Market. This helps to protect players against…

A foreword from our General Manager, Anthony Castoro. "Today's patch is huge, not just because it contains tons of content, or that it's the start of the first new Season since early November, or even that the game now has a new name. It's also huge because it represents the first big delivery on the promise that the new NantG team made when it took over development last September: Bring back the game that so many of you fell in love with in the classic "King of the Kill" era around Preseason 3 at the end of 2016 and in early 2017. Since September, the NantG team has been as transparent as possible about our goals and plans and many of you have stuck with us through th…
