DayZ: Patch 0.42 ist live!

Das Entwicklerteam hinter DayZ hat es geschafft und hat die nächste Stable-Veröffentlichung für das Spiel veröffentlicht. Dieser Patch hat es wieder einmal in sich und bringt jede Menge Neuerungen.

Neuerungen sind in nahezu jedem Bereich des Spieles zu finden. Beginnend mit neuen Lebensmitteln – so wurden zwei neue Beeren in das Spiel implementiert, so könnt ihr euren ballistischen Helm jetzt farblicher anpassen. Auch wurden jede Menge Gegenstände zu dem Spiel hinzugefügt.

So sind neben neuen Aufsätzen für die M4 auch neue Einsatzmöglichkeiten für bereits existierende Gegenstände eingepflegt worden. Der Dosenöffner eignet sich so auch als Nahkampfwaffe – auch wenn es etwas zweckentfremdend wirkt. Auch einige Änderungen an der Karte an sich wurden getätigt. So gibt es bei Svetlo neue Fels Formationen Olsha und Khelm wurde leicht verbessert und eine neue Kirche gibt es auch noch. Die Wettereffekte werden jetzt vom Server berechnet und dann an den Clienten weiter geleitet. Doch nicht nur neue Elemente wurden eingefügt. Auch die Bugfixes können sich sehen lassen. Verschiedene mehr oder minder große Bugs wurden gefixt und dadurch sollte das Spielerlebnis wieder um einiges besser werden. Sind die schlimmsten Sachen gepatcht oder fehlt euch noch etwas, was ganz dringend geändert werden muss?
