DayZ 1.25 Patch Notes: All Update Changes

DayZ will traditionally release 4 or 5 big updates to the game every year, and whilst these updates to the stable version of the game are fairly infrequent, the number of updates applied to the experimental servers - where new features are tested ahead of their official release - are a lot more regular. Regardless of what version of the game you play though, it's always worth keeping track of the patch notes to see every small change that the developers at Bohemia Interactive are making to the game.

Some of these might seem relatively minor, but in the survival sandbox, every small tweak could have huge repercussions. From nerfing certain guns, increasing the time to use a bandage or even making your boots louder to fellow players. Every change matters. So it's important you have a read of the most recent patch notes to know what's going on in the game. Without further ado, here's the latest info on the DayZ Patch Notes.

SERVER

Added: Server config parameter 'networkObjectBatchUseEstimatedBandwidth' to switch between the method of replication limiter. Enabled means it will use an estimated bandwidth sent and disabled means it will use the true bandwidth (recommended disabled)
Added: Server config parameter 'networkObjectBatchUseDynamic
MaximumBandwidth' to choose if the bandwidth limit should be a percentage of the maximum bandwidth or an absolute value. The maximum bandwidth can fluctuate depending on network quality
Added: Server config parameter
'networkObjectBatchEnforceBandwidthLimits' to enable the replication limiter based on bandwidth (default disabled)
Added: Server config parameter 'networkObjectBatchBandwidthLimit', if above is enabled, the range is (0, 1). If above is disabled, the range is (1000, inf). Recommended is 0.8 and 20000 respectively
Fixed: Server crash when running out of loot points to spawn items (https://feedback.bistudio.com/T179664 - private)
Fixed: CfgGameplay: Values set for 'rotationSpeedJog' or 'rotationSpeedSprint' would not synchronize to clients resulting in stuttering movement (https://feedback.bistudio.com/T178103,
https://feedback.bistudio.com/T175489,
https://feedback.bistudio.com/T178397)
Fixed: Spawning ammopile types into weapons with inner magazines via json loadouts was not fucntioning properly (https://feedback.bistudio.com/T179268)
Changed: Server config parameter 'networkObjectBatchSend' split into 'networkObjectBatchSendCreate' and 'networkObjectBatchSendDelete'
Changed: Improved replication statistics in server debug window on diag builds
Changed: DayZ client will no longer use hardcoded port 2304 and up but use OS assigned ports instead
- Added: Server config parameter "clientPort" to assign connecting clients a specific port e.g. "clientPort = 2304;" (Documentation)
- Added: Possibility to add steam query port of a server to connect parameter to query if they have a custom client port "-connect=IP:PORT:QUERY" -> "-connect=127.0.0.1:2302:27016"
- Changed: In-game server browser also uses the new connect format to automatically query for and apply the custom port
- Changed: Launcher now uses the new connect format, since "-port=" overrides port used by the client which is not desired (-port= functionality is untouched)

Added: 'Math3D.MatrixInverse3'/
'Math3D.MatrixInverse4'
Added: 'Pawn' class with full feature set of functions
Added: 'PawnMove' and 'PawnState' class

Fixed: Object creation on remote clients would update the last value synchronized for clients that had already had the Object created
Changed: Moved calls to 'OnVehicleSeatDriverEnter' and 'OnVehicleSeatDriverLeft' from script to native, 'OnVehicleSeatDriverLeft' is now called when getting out starts instead of when the command ends
Changed: 'Human.LinkToLocalSpaceOf' will now internally call 'UnlinkFromLocalSpace' if 'Human' is already parented and prevent linking if already parented to the same entity
Changed: 'DayZPlayerTypeRegisterItems' now gets called when (re)joining servers
