Contents and features discussed are subject to change before release. We aim to provide insight and foster community engagement, but details may evolve as development continues. Thank you for joining us on this journey, with the understanding that what you see here is a glimpse into the process. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4458811/080c4403cef557f3908431064f3dd0831e0c5a45.jpg Hey Survivors! Welcome to our Dev Blog, where we take you behind the scenes of the DayZ Frostline Expansion development. Here, we share the ups and downs of our creative process with you, the community. Your continuous support has always been a lifeline for the game, and we're excited to give you a sneak peek of what DayZ Frostline has in store! Let's talk about Clothing Insulation Variants, New Map Size* and Terrain Builder QoL enhancements! We’ll aim to discuss further and provide clarity on a particularly hot community topic—inventory size changes—in the next dev blog. Insulation Variants As many of you know, DayZ's diverse maps each come with their unique climates and weather conditions. Our goal with DayZ Frostline is to make your survival experience even more immersive and challenging by reflecting these environmental differences through our clothing system. Seasonal Clothing Changes One of the key changes we've implemented is the introduction of seasonal variants for certain types of clothing. For instance: Summer Hunter Gear : In the heat of Livonia, you'll find a Summer Hunter Gear set designed with low insulation to accommodate the summer heat. Perfect for when you’re navigating through its dense forests and open fields in warmer temperatures. Winter Hunter Gear : Conversely, on our new winter map, Sakhal, survival against the biting cold is paramount. Thus, you can expect to discover Winter Hunter Gear with high insulation to help you stave off the chill. Sakhal’s unforgiving climate necessitates outfits that provide maximum warmth and protection. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4458811/9e7ec74c91e855172dd7bb822b5f0105603b8fbf.jpg Item Spawning Rates Each map will feature a unique system for spawning these seasonal gears, adhering to a logical rule of thumb: Cold Maps : Higher spawn rates for warm clothing. Expect to find Winter Gear with greater frequency. Warm Maps : Higher spawn rates for lighter, low-insulation clothing, making your scavenging efforts more fruitful in suitable climates. It's important to remember that while these changes enhance realism and tactical play, all items remain transferable between maps . So, even if you choose not to purchase the DayZ Frostline Expansion, you can still acquire these seasonal gears through player trades or cross-map transfers. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4458811/8e278b6fd5c7279d65c20bd17fdf4ab7662b835c.jpg Map Size We initially shared that Sakhal would feature an 83km² traversable terrain, excluding the expansive ice...DayZ Frostline Expansion Progress Report (Week 34)Aug 23, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsDayZ Frostline Expansion: Boats and Audio changes Wishlist DayZ Frostline https://store.steampowered.com/app/2968040/DayZ_Frostline/ Survivors! Welcome aboard our latest dev blog week 34! Here’s what’s new and noteworthy: Boats! We started prototyping boats late last year, and by the start of this year, the boat was selected for full development. mostly to complement the islandic nature of Sakhal, The initial implementation used in the prototype was stable enough for us to move forward, though we did take some shortcuts, such as leveraging existing simulations such as the car engine and gearbox. Early on, we realized that the complex nature of vehicles, combined with the instability of the pre-existing reconciliation system, could lead to boats bouncing and spinning uncontrollably in the ocean. To address this, we agreed that changes in networking were essential. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4458811/724ef5d3566446c5e4bf99cfaee08582b1fb4596.png Buoyancy is a complex simulation designed for the possible inclusion of more realistic ocean waves in the future. It uses a shape - which the modders will know as the "Simple Geometry LOD" - to find the total displaced volume and find the buoyant force and does some additional simulation of drag. Controlling boats in DayZ is intentionally simpler than handling cars. Boats feature three gears: Forward, Neutral, and Reverse. While there are no brakes, you can manage your speed by adjusting the throttle or shifting into reverse to slow down. Boats are primarily designed for one simple b ut vital purpose: transporting players across large bodies of water. They don’t have any inventory space, so you won’t be able to hoard items on them. To get a boat running, you’ll only need a spark plug and some gasoline. If you find a boat on a beach or in shallow water, you can push it into deeper water to start your journey. As demonstrated by @iRoadie_ & @AmishZed {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4458811/bd29d677a82cd2026f092e7011e54fcff9d1722a.jpg Each boat can carry three passengers and one operator, with unique animations for sitting, dying, switching seats, rolling out of the boat even being dragged out. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4458811/937d177b154b2df848981140e6a4274dd1f5b9ee.jpg There's also the consideration of maintenance. While damage doesn’t immediately affect driving performance, it poses a risk as it accelerates the vehicle's progression toward a ruined state. You can repair the boat body by using the tire repair kit. The engine can't be repaired. Once the boat is ruined, it will start to sink slowly, giving you time to get out of the seat. Last but not least, you have the ability to stand on the boat while it moves at a leisurely pace. However, caution is advised, as increasing the boat's speed will result in you falling off. And yes, you will be able to fish from the boat while it’s stationary, so get ready to cast your line and haul in some catches!P.S. We've rolled out an experimental update for 1.26, which includes boats!

As we enter the experimental period of massive game update 1.26, we also find ourselves on the doorstep of the busiest period we’ve experienced in years. That’s because this game update is coupled with the release of the DayZ Frostline expansion. We highly recommend adding DayZ Frostline to your wishlist if you haven't already. Make sure to check it out on Steam. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2968040/DayZ_Frostline/ You can find the patch notes for 1.26 EXP on our forum here. This is a long read, so please bear with me as I outline all the important things to look for during your experimental playthroughs. Game update 1.26 offers changes and gameplay additions that not only support the DayZ Frostline expansion, but also impact the overall experience of our existing maps Chernarus and Livonia. As the title "Frostline" aptly suggests, we have concentrated a lot of work around the temperature systems. That was a challenge in and of itself: ensuring the game systems adapted to a simple change in global temperature. We’ve also rebalanced the way various elements of the environment have an effect on the player character, be it from their position or the current weather. The progression of the player character’s heat comfort is now always delayed, as opposed to instant. This progression may be noticed by one or more arrows at the HUD as the character adapts to the changes in temperature. The heat buffer, also known as the + symbol in UI when you spend enough time around a heat source, is also getting an update to help you visualize its state. This is primarily so it no longer looks like an on and off bonus, which was actually never a thing. Edible items now have their temperatures simulated. They can freeze if the environment temperature is low enough, and will need to be thawed in order to be edible. They can be put on a fireplace grill (or a stove), warmed up, and eaten for warmth benefits. Just make sure to keep an eye on the temperature as the player character can take damage from consuming items that are too hot. In addition to that, we have changed the temperature badge in the tooltip and replaced it with a simple temperature description. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4458811/02e4550a6e5afcabbaec5e70dcb356e759266d0d.png If you want to learn more about these systems, have a look at our recent dev blog post about environmental dangers. Speaking of dangers, we have also looked at the common cold/influenza. We wanted to make sure that players who took care of their characters would not run into too many issues with it, while the ones who continue to ignore it would eventually face the consequences through the newly added stage of pneumonia. Temporal immunity has also been added to the medical system, which makes an instant re-infection impossible for diseases like the common cold. Pain suppression meds (i.e. codeine pills and morphine) have also been expanded and n...Frostline Expansion Progress Report (Week 20-26)Jul 11, 2024 - Community Announcementshttps://store.steampowered.com/app/2968040/DayZ_Frostline/ {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4458811/c94a1c512c0672644c3e84379d97b09ead5f4ba9.png ⚠️Disclaimer⚠️ Information shared in our development blog represents a work in progress, not the final product. The contents and features discussed are subject to change before release. We aim to provide insight and foster community engagement, but details may evolve as development continues. Thank you for joining us on this journey, and for understanding that what you see here is a glimpse into the process. Dear Survivors, With the Frostline Expansion release on the horizon, we want to give the community a behind-the-scenes look at our development process. We've been regularly publishing Dev Blogs on our forums, and you can check them out here. This progress report serves as a summary of those Dev Blogs, and offers an extra layer of insight into our creative works, processes, and achievements. 1.26 Changes you can look forward to Before we get into the Frostline Expansion, we'd like to start with a few changes that will also impact the base game with update 1.26. Even though we're concentrating on releasing a paid DLC, that doesn't mean we aren’t implementing any changes or improvements to the base game with 1.26. Our efforts on Frostline are for the betterment of DayZ as a whole. Notably, the view distance in the game has been substantially increased, and you'll have full control over it via the settings on the client side. We’ve also made significant efforts for us and community server owners to have more control over weather elements like wind and fog. The current fog system is tied to distance fog value and overcast, and is defined by the config, which evidently is limiting. With update 1.26, the dev team, modders, and server owners will have full dynamic control over the fog through a new script API. The fog will also affect the visibility of the sky, which is perfect for those who wish to create areas that have less visibility and a gloomier atmosphere. More control over weather means more capabilities for us to create dynamic weather patterns and changes. Wind is one element we will have more control over. It will be a definitive factor in providing visual hints via the direction of snowfall, rain, or the direction and intensity of trees being affected by the wind. While the change in weather won’t be predetermined or occur in patterns players can predict, those who observe their surroundings and anticipate environmental challenges will have a strategic advantage. Think of the blizzards of Sakhal and the thunderstorms of Livonia. Snow in Frostline One of the map’s main features is the snow and its integration into the environment. The snowfall particles are newly created / added to the terrain, and have been significantly improved since the last time you saw them in the official teaser. As you can see in the example below, these particles are not just white dots, but nuanced, weighted elements that enhance imm...PaydayZ Event | The Return of the Payday Masks & Chain's Debut in DayZJul 3, 2024 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4458811/8bce92c9fa8e7b1c09fd3e1c9f104e7120a1d39c.jpg Dear Survivors, We’re excited to announce the return of DayZ’s iconic Payday masks during our special PaydayZ event! While our team is working diligently on the Frostline expansion (which will deliver a winter experience to DayZ later this autumn), we wanted to give you something to celebrate at the beginning of summer. Character cosmetics and seasonal events have been major focuses in our recent updates, and this summer event is no exception. A massive shoutout to our friends at Starbreeze Studio and the Payday team for allowing us to feature legendary masks from Payday (Dallas, Houston, and Wolf), as well as Chains, which is making its DayZ debut. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4458811/821b91855b45d47ddc8960b4324b36e86bba3d6b.png Veteran DayZ players will fondly remember when these masks were synonymous with banditry. Due to the visual progress DayZ has made over the years, and the masks provided by the Payday team, we’ve fully reworked them with brand new textures to fit our current aesthetic. The masks will be distributed across both maps, with two types on each map. You'll need to travel between the maps or obtain them from an unlucky server hopper. The iconic star-spangled mask of Dallas, along with the masks of the original Payday crew, are returning to DayZ for a limited time on the 4th of July. The event will run until July 23rd across all platforms, and community server owners will have access to the event files even after the event is over. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4458811/742e9f0f5e7159048456f05888840b99832a4047.png So rally your squad, then suit up, mask up, and score some sweet loot!

Time is flying for us this year and there’s tons that’s going on. Earlier this month, we announced our next big milestone: an expansion called DayZ Frostline. Today, we’re happy to announce that game update 1.25 has arrived on Steam! Today also marks the start of a new era for Livonia. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4458811/50f1171335be0e0da8f5394b9155e3a5fbf9cf10.png All current owners of the base game will get the DLC for free. Meanwhile, the Livonia DLC will be included with the base game from this point forward and available to all at a slightly increased price. If you’re itching to explore new places while you’re waiting for Sakhal, there’s never been a better time! OK, back to update 1.25. What can you expect when you jump into the game? {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4458811/03a66b9e20a2a186cb38946dd11b1da1cc5489b5.png The highlight of the update is definitely the long awaited addition of ambient music. We worked with Czech composer Dikolson to create a subtle and ambient background that increases your immersion as you walk through different areas of the game at various times of the day. There’s approximately 70 minutes of music available at the moment, with more to come in the future. We love the music so much, that we published a selection of it on Steam. If you’re interested in listening to this wonderful music outside of DayZ, you can find it on the Steam store page or within your Steam library under Soundtracks. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4458811/4ea0440138efeccc4b3a598bbf294b168c914ba5.png Note: Can take 24 hours for soundtrack to show in Library Ambient tracks aren’t the only addition to the game’s audio. Update 1.25 also delivers the first rework of firearm sounds, including updated sounds of shotguns, the crossbow, and the grenade launcher. Our audio team has also been busy rebalancing the distance where you can still hear a player’s actions (previously, the audibility of all actions was set at 50 meters). To prevent items disappearing from the inventory after using quick slots / certain actions, we decided to limit the use of contents in nested containers like cooking pots and protector cases through quick slots. We also reworked the way a player character’s position is synchronized with the server in order to tackle issues such as getting stuck in a doorway. Another addition in update 1.25 is a new long-range bolt-action firearm, the VS-89 with a 10-round magazine. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4458811/9f808522d11f49402149d5db96019e4b4f298e53.png We’d like to highlight the fact that we’ve integrated the Enfusion crash reporter. We’d appreciate it if you’d take the time to fill in the details before sending us the full report. That’s it for update 1.25. Our next step is update 1.26, which will be released together with DayZ Frostline later this year.

Unlike previous locations, you'll play as a survivor seeking refuge in the rumored safe haven of Sakhal, only to face an unforgiving environment frozen both in time and climate. Despite its brutality, Sakhal promises beauty at every perilous turn, with frozen lakes, snow-draped forests, and frosty peaks. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4458811/7c95f41f5758d70c47b172e4da6af9d3c43bd8e6.png The proximity to volcanic regions amplifies the hazards, doubling the threats you'll face.

The goal is to streamline our portfolio and simplify our offerings in anticipation of future developments. Simultaneously, we aim to elevate the player experience by enhancing accessibility to Livonia, thereby integrating the communities of both the base game and the DLC across every platform. While there will be a modest increase in price due to the new product’s expanded value, the pricing will be more economical than the current DayZ Livonia Bundle. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4458811/b43d0506554759605da0810cb9727529b5951946.png To clarify: the Livonia DLC will no longer be sold separately once update 1.25 is released on stable branches. Existing DayZ base game owners without Livonia will receive the DLC free of charge as a token of our appreciation. A comprehensive press release and FAQ detailing these changes will be issued on May 20th. Stay tuned for more details! Now, let’s dive into what you should be keeping your eyes and ears on while trying out the experimental version of update 1.25. The highlight of this update is definitely the introduction of ambient music. We’re thrilled that we were able to make this long-requested feature a reality, thanks to our cooperation with Czech composer Filip Míšek. The update features around 100 minutes of music, which plays during different times of day, as well as when you travel through various locations. We hope you’ll enjoy the music and become more immersed in your adventures. Keep in mind that the ambient music won’t be available until the second experimental build due to scheduling reasons. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4458811/12770a7824afb7854c9b295e639020776ec7cbd1.png Our audio team has also reworked the firearm sounds for all shotguns, as well as the sounds for the grenade launcher and crossbow. Additionally, the team has been very busy rebalancing the distance where you can still hear a player’s actions (previously, the audibility of all actions was set at 50 meters). This change doesn’t cover weapons or footsteps yet, but that is also on the team’s radar for the future. Another thing we’ve improved is the way a player’s position is corrected between the client and the server. This only affects the character you’re playing and should prevent issues like getting stuck in a doorway. We’ve also addressed an inventory inconsistency that was causing items in nested cargo containers to be moved around or even dropped without any notice. This has been happening since update 1.23, and forced us to limit the manipulation in such a way that you will no longer be able to assign items that are stored inside a nested cargo container to quick slots.

After much anticipation and numerous requests from its dedicated fanbase, Vigor is making its leap to PC! This marks a significant moment as the game opens up the gritty and engrossing world of the Outlands to a broader audience, now with the precision of mouse and keyboard gameplay. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4458811/9b06bc26570796b1e0c2c1ee9b1d87aef2855b0f.png Set to launch in May as an Early Access title on Steam, Vigor's move to PC is a strategic step similar to its successful releases on the Nintendo Switch and Xbox Game Preview. This early access formula has proven effective, allowing the developers to incorporate community feedback and refine the game experience continually.

The DayZ Team Walpurgis Night 2024Apr 16, 2024 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4458811/f3238aa2149550256253eb5f373bf5fac80495e9.png Dear Survivors, As the warmth of spring envelops us, let us kindle the spirit of the season with the bonfires of Walpurgis. Staying true to our commitment in supporting in-game events this year, we're happy to announce the return of the annual Walpurgis event. While seasoned veterans are likely well acquainted with this event, newcomers to the game may benefit from a quick overview. The Night of the Witches (known as Čarodejnice in Czech) is a celebration spanning April 30th and May 1st. Originating from ancient pagan rites, Walpurgis Night originally symbolized the renewal of nature with the onset of spring. Over time, it evolved into a Christianized festival honoring Saint Walpurga, renowned for her protection against supernatural forces, including witchcraft. In modern times, bonfires illuminate the night skies in some parts of Germany as people joyously dance around Maypoles, while Finland and Sweden embrace the outdoors with picnics and lively gatherings. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/4458811/b6340c00f1567ac5afee6d2dea6564909ae74ffd.png Echoing its real-world counterpart, the DayZ Walpurgis Night event promises an atmospheric experience, with bonfires being lit up across the maps. These fiery beacons may serve as both sanctuaries, offering warmth and respite, or potential traps, leaving you exposed to the watchful eyes of other unfriendly survivors. Following the elaborate mechanics of previous events like the healing bolts during Valentine's, we've opted to keep this simple. Here's the list of items you can find at the bonfires: Cauldron Witch Hat Witch Hood Birch Broom Crooked Nose The infected witch and the infected firefighters So, arm yourself once more with pitchforks, fire-spewing brooms, and the iconic witch hoods as you venture into both Chernarus and Livonia. The event will start on the 16th of April and end on the 5th of May across all platforms and official servers. Stay warm, survivors.
