Zombie Force: DayZ is being updated to version 1.24

The multiplayer zombie action game by Bohemia Interactive studio hasn't changed its technical part for a long time, which is understood by the developers themselves. That's why they decided to release an experimental update 1.24, which solves a number of program tasks for the sake of improving the user experience. In order to launch it, a separate game server must be used, designed just for such tests - everyone who has purchased DayZ has access to it. And only after the patch is verified by the community will it be officially released.

The first thing the patch changes is the geometry of collisions of vegetation, such as trees in the forest, as cars often encounter invisible obstacles when trying to avoid branches. The model of actual plant boundaries is now simpler but, according to the designers, more efficient. At the same time, part of the load on computers has been removed, because now they have to process fewer particles, especially during the calculation of the trajectory of bullets flying through the thicket. Speaking of shooting, which was also finalized. Some types of automatic weapons had increased recoil and unified approach to randomly found barrels - it will be impossible to determine whether they appeared by themselves or thrown out by one of the heroes.

The developers revised the calculation of the length of cold weapons to make close combat more convenient. Animations have been upgraded as well, including lifting objects from the ground and bandaging a character with several bleedings. But serious edits to the behavior of the infected are not provided, although there is a lot to work on. The zombies' reaction to the sound of gunshots has been reduced - the walking dead have become less aggressive.
