Hey everyone! We appreciate all the feedback already given so far. We want to reinforce a few points. 1.Provide your direct feedback via the in-game survey. Posts on Reddit are great to share your experience with others but the survey will be our main point for collecting player feedback on this particular topic. 2. Please set all of your visual settings to default. You can up the quality and resolution as you please but we need to get feedback from a universal standard across all players. 3. Do not use any external tools to adjust the colors while conducting your experiments. This will skew you results even if you only use them lightly. We are going to add two addit…

[H1Z1 Updates] Test Server Schedule
by KZG Bot- 0 replies
- 408 views
In an effort to get more Solo matches kicked off (because that's where you'll experience the majority of the new features) we're going to be locking the Test Server and only opening it for certain hours in each region. We understand that this might be inconvenient for some players schedules but it should lead to a better experience for most. These times were determined by peak population data in each region. We'll be rotating what is open during these times but starting tomorrow, Monday February 19th, we will only have Solo games available. Keep an eye on this thread for updates on what modes will be unlocked and when. The Test Server will be open during the following t…

Patch Notes: You now have the option to Spectate your Killer. The system will try to find the next nearest player if it can’t find your Killer (he dies during the transition). There is a known issue if you die and you hit Spectate but there is no one nearby. Your UI can disappear leaving you stuck until the match ends or you close the client down. There is a little number on the HUD that denotes how many spectators you have at the time. Don’t mess up! Updated the Graphics engine for better performance and stability.

Most of what is covered in the blog below was also visually explained on a recent Community Outbreak: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/222719994 What’s up everyone! We wanted to take a few moments to talk about an important topic amongst the players, streamers, and pros alike: ENAS. For those who may not know, ENAS (also known as the Eastern North American Strafe) is a method of movement that involves moving your mouse back and forth rapidly while running forward and strafing to make yourself extremely difficult to be shot by other players. We can give credit to the naming to CDNThe3rd and the technique has become so popular you can even find it in the Urban Dictionary[www.u…

[H1Z1 Updates] Welcome To Season One!
by KZG Bot- 0 replies

Starting with Preseason One, we set out to make H1Z1 as competitive and rewarding as possible. We added Team Scoring for Duos and Fives to continue that trend. With each Preseason we shook up the point values and Tier distribution numbers and made future decisions based on previous Preseason data. We gave out rewards for end of season placement and players were fully sporting their accomplishments in-game. Now that we're leaving Early Access, it's time to put Preseasons behind us and get started on the culmination of all that work: Season One! Season One comes with a new way of evaluating overall player performance. During the Preseasons, Royalty was solely achieved by …

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.

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…
