Being a long time arma and days player I am beyond thrilled about the fact that the view distance is finally being restored to its former glory

Finally! One of the only gripes I had with DayZ was how little I could see far away. I always hoped that the fog would get pushed back in the future, now it's actually happening!

Not to sure why people are complaining with all the rain in livonia when it's description was a "new landscape known for its tropical weather with lots of rain and storms", its wiki description is also "Livonia is a harsh, rainy environment with temperate climate conditions consisting of cold winters and cool summers."

As someone who lives in a really wide open area IRL it feels weird to be excited about 6000m view distance lol

Absolutely love the use of the mass effect music playing in the background

I wouldn't mind rain if rain gear was actually functional. Swapping my fully 42 slot jacket for a 20 slot rain coat when it rains isn't ideal

Those directional snow particles are 👌

It is about time they addressed the weather system. The current raining upwards is just poor.

6:17 RIP Lahey

When Frostline was announced, I was really afraid of the quality of the map because reusing a 10-year-old asset and selling it for €30 was excessive in my opinion. But if they integrate new technology with the map, that might interest me. On the other hand, they really need to review the base-building and the zombie AI.

drop everything for the wobo notification

hyped for frostline ❄️

Exciting times ahead, looking forward to it!

6:12 I love you for these moments in your videos🤣

Happy to support these guys

Would be cool if thunder was synced between players.

Amazing! As a console player I can’t wait!

A small tip for English speakers: whenever you see a in a non-English word, you should pronounce it as a hard H, not K. Not /Sakal/, but /Sahal/ with the hard H.

There is already a file you can edit in documents/DayZ to adjust the terrain view distance and object view distance. They are basically just putting a menu option to do it in game now. It will reset if you join a server that forces a certain distance on one/both.

server owners can already control view/ render distance, players can as well. it just requires edits to the server initialization files for the server owner and a edit to the user_settings.DayZProfile file for players

i can not wait for more winter maps to come after the new map comes out, that skybox looks beautiful

Glad to see little indie projects like this getting attention

I love the new weather additions. Having to take note of the conditions is another great part of survival. It will not only make it more immersing but also create some epic snow storm gun fights!

player view distance is still based on the "network bubble" You can change view distance with mods already, yes buildings render at any distance

The old game originally had these longer view distances so its not something new really. Have they hot fixed the infected yet as they are so broken?

To answer your question at 6:33, you can already change the view distance for the environment and the objects inside your player profile config files. I've been playing with 12000m of view distance for terrain and something like 4-8000m for objects (buldings, trees, etc) depending on the situation and the game runs fine in most cases. I don't know if players are rendered that far though, I think there is still this 1100m limit. And I'm pretty sure that loot is not rendered at these distances because, first it makes no sense to see a can of tuna at 6km and second, my PC would probably catch on fire if it did.

Thanks so much for the info, with how busy life gets it's hard to keep up on all this. I'm thankful I have you dedicating so much time to make it digestible and short for me. Big love.

Thanks for keeping us updated. And thanks for the NEO farmers shoutout.

3:04 I'm guessing they are finally porting over the A3 fog tech

I started playing DayZ in 2019 and it has been in a pretty damn decent state since I’ve been playing. Amazing game. 👍

The snowfall is beautiful.

Wow these are awesome changes. Definitely more excited for more info about FrostLine

It's only taken them 11yrs to catch back up to DayZ Origins and Epoch and 5yrs to catch back up with Arma 3 Survival and put the damn fog back into the valleys and low lying areas instead of covering the entire landmass..... geezus it's about time, one of my most missed visual effects was that low lying fog.... unfortunately, I didn't see it rolling in like A3S has it, and A3S also has separate biomes with the north section of "Chernarus" being covered in snow with snowfall and the south being temperate. Edit: and Wobo, I play Arma 3 Exile Mod (similar to DayZ Mod, except you're a prisoner dropped on an island to survive, loot like DayZ, AI missions, optional roaming AI on foot, vehicle, air, sea ECT, base building, trader, and there's optional zombies from different mods typically added, but not always), but I run my view settings at 10k across the board, 10k for everything (much more granular than DayZ SA's view settings, even in the files, but through the display GUI), and you can see, engage, and kill players at that full 10k distance if not more (I'll drop below 60fps if I go over 10k), buildings and full terrain render as well as players and player's vehicles and their bases, and AI will render out that far as well as their vehicles. It's extremely hard to snipe someone at 5k, but it can be done, and you can absolutely take someone out from further with a vehicle's armaments, as long as whatever you're using can travel that far that is, not like you're going to shoot a 9mm pistol out to 5k, but my MAR-10 will definitely reach out to 2k, after that, you need some power

Devs knocking things off my changes wishlist, maybe I should write better zombie AI and motorbikes on there too... Fun thing about the altitude fog is, that's how it looked in 0.60-0.62. One fog value had altitude range and the other was just generic z-distance fog, and I believe the games had both still the whole time but its been so hard to tell for so long, and the fog has been so overpowering that as we've seen on many community servers, people have began modding out the volfog. I don't think players or AI will be visible beyond 1100m with the new view distance settings. Player visibility gets all fucked up at 1km and the network bubble size is a huge issue for server performance. Since anything within a players network bubble needs to be actively simulated, increasing it increases that area squared, and on each player on the map. There's a reason it was downgraded from 1600m in 0.62 to 1100m at some point in 0.63

Hopefully this also comes with an increase in player render distance. From my experience, playing with your render too high just makes it harder to tell where you should and shouldn't be looking for players, considering they stop rendering in past 1km and you can often see way past that. It also seems like there will be a ton of long lines of sight on this map where it would make sense to be able to see people from further away.

so amazing to see how far this game has come and the future of where its headed. truly love this game and the amount of work the devs have been putting into improving and updating dayz has been awesome, it makes me really happy even though i dont have the time to play anymore. this game is truly unique, i want to see this game shine

Not many games out there what's this old and this good looking and still being worked on !

Oh dang, this got me more excited for the patch then expected. New map is cool, but the weather effects and view distance are going to add so much and really give the game a fresh face.

I really just want a base building rework already.

i mean you can set view/object render distance to 10km in the edtior so surely, on my rig i still get minimum 50-60 fps, tho i understand that it might be different performance when running on a live server with full pop. very exciting to see how this will work out.

This will change the overall game experience massively🤩

Snow maps are honestly my favorite

I am so happy that at least one of the DayZ devs is a fan of The Hunter series of games

snowfall is nice, now I hope trees and vegetations will look better with the bigger distamce?? Would be cooler

Well hopefully the devs will be able to do something about the dupers and other dueche bags who ruin official for alot of people. So our 30-40 dollars for this map better net is some positive results in this area.

So many new things to test for WOBO.... exciting times!

Fucking finally huge view distance, like how it used to be.

Oh, i remember the old times, where you had to lower the ingame veiwdistance for it not to lag badly. 🤣 I think it was "uncapped" back then, Default was 2500, but that was to much for my PC. With 6km veiwdistance, you should be able to noclip(with mod tools) in Skalisty and see the whole map from there? Amazing!

the view distance is exactly what i have been craving the most. and ofcourse bug fixes, but i dont really remember any bugs occuring in recent times.

Cant wait ti rent a server and explore tf outta the new map!! What! What!

isn't the current "poor" view distance like 600m? so in this update, at already "low" setting, we can see further than we currently can with default view settings

They either heard me or played on my server considering what they're doing with the game. Im hosting Deerisle with he view distance of objects and terrain up to 3600m, players still render as vanilla 1.1km, and it runs smooth and it looks amazingly beautiful!

Potentially the greatest DayZ update of all time besides the upgrade to infusion. No other games pull me into their map like the nature of Livonia.

i am glad it gets foggy wont get sniped anymore

theoretically now Networked Object are within 1000m, i think that devs, in order to get a player be seen beyond that, have to extend this range ( this may include some perfomance drop also )

New audio sliders would be good. Wind and wolves are too loud currently.

the view distance option will bring the map alive the game is already really pretty and now it will be beautiful

Who ever thought snow would be on Livonia? Its obviously set in late spring early summer in a temperate zone.

this is actually massive edit: a bit further in the video, potentially massive

I wonder about the weather efects because in other survival games you can't be out during a blizzard. Will they be so severe that you'll need to seek shelter or start losing health?

Do you think we will be able to have rain and snow storms into the same server? Like south getting rain and north getting snow

"in multiplayer"? Does this potentially mean an offline mode is in the works or is planned/was?

i hope the dlc wont be expensive

Looking at the distance between the island the really small one at the north of the new map wonder if they're also going to be implementing boats do you be able to safely get out there because that looks like a longer swim than the one to the prison and it's going to be a hell of a lot colder probably die of hypothermia before you actually get out there by swimming so I wonder if they'll add boats

Server view distance is the max cap you can set (you can have your own in your client config but its capped by server),so nothing really new.

Dayz is such an amazing long term project, weather control and more realistic weather would be amazing.

This is neat and all but I'd like to see them fix the broken zombies, hand bugs and clunky looting before all this extra stuff.

Wonder if the wind will effect shots from afar

Makes me wonder if with all the view distance chances will the LOD popping in and out with foliage/buildings/etc be a thing of the past or will this still happen? This has always been quite annoying and outdated and would be a MASSIVE W if it will no longer be an issue!

The rain turns you into ninja 🥷🏼

It rains so much lol. I get my clothes dry finally leave the fire and boom.. im fuckin soaked again lol

my 10 year old pc will love the 6000m render distance 💀

Thank you WOBO!!!

All these new weather effects coming to the default map as well?

Any word on Zed behavior being altered? Still seems like they're bugged.

Devs, this is great. I love it. Please fix the zombies and vehicles on console. Love you

I want to see seasons ingame on all maps... Snow falling and pyling up un the ground.

I wonder how the setting will look under a full moon when theres snow covered ground

Can you make a video about the zombie bug with the new update? Many people complain that zombies detect you from far away.

just got Ask. This is off-topic to. Does the revolver sound different?

Hopefully console can get a bit of a distance upgrade or at least the settings for it the Xbox One and series S definitely can't handle all that but the series X could definitely capitalize on some of this new tech

Sakhal looks like Skyrim!

The finaly gave a fog😂😂❤

The Struggle Bus!!

I hope you're right! If the devs want to grow and improve a game I already enjoy, I'll gladly buy the next DLC... and the next...

View distance is already enabled for console via the Nitrado General Settings

How do i get the server i play on featured in the intro? Join the Members?

Man Sakhal looks pretty

Im hoping for a new plate carrier variant

Love you wobo 😘😘😘😘

Hey just a question of toppic wy do you use the division music in ure window so mutch if it is the division music

6k overall + terrain is easily done in arma 3, objects at 6k is another story.

Don't understand dayz is using the arma 3 engine and I have my view distance at 15k why the low distance?

Looking forward to increased blizzards on community Sakhal servers.

The view distance increase is the best thing here. Its going to increase immersion on Chernarus so much... one thing it wont increase is my already precarious FPS, but hey, jebi ga, i need that shit.

It has past 10 years already. They need to call the quits and make a new game. 💯

I cry about the fog

I want to know where the flyable helicopters are..

Hey Wobo, how do you have the bullet paths appear in your play and demonstrations?
