Gray Zone Warfare | Community Briefing #2 

i wish every game had briefings like this.

Noise Cancelation on Headphones option for helicopters. Maybe in the inventory menu right click on the headphones to activate, or a bind

I love these man. The devs are so transparent. Can’t wait to see what this game will become in the coming years

Negative, all birds in the air.

Loving these debriefs, love to see more to come!

Possible voice lines from the pilot that alerts players of LZ campers. Give players the option of landing at a farther LZ and walking, RTB or continue to land. “ISR is picking up something” “Unidentifies near the LZ” “Heat sigs east of your position”

This game is next level, I have been gaming for 30 years and let me start by saying this experience is awsome, love following development. Keep up the good work Devs

Add the ability to rename backpacks / anything that you can store things in as renaming things would be a god send for organization.

Please fix keys for all missions. I’m tired of taking out all of the people to find 3-4 keys I don’t need! I’ve been to sawmill and blue lagoon at least 40 times

I’ve watched DDG since the DayZ mod days and only today I learned he has the same name, Corey, as me. >_>

Adding something to see where the heli is going BEFORE it takes off would help a lot with ride sharing

THANK YALL for working to fix the aimbot AI. Love everything else yall are doing. I’m having a lot of fun

Have put in some time the past couple of nights and talking with other players on the US Central server, all are in agreement that the game is already MUCH better than it was at launch just a couple of weeks ago. Great work by the Madfinger team, looking forward to becoming a long term GZW player.

I have'nt seen a game works this hard to live up to hype for so long

I'm honestly impressed with the level of communication and feedback from the developer more studios need take notes

Devildog, love you man, but you guys gotta prioritise performance first. We've seen this in so many games before. People quit games they cant play, look at the steam charts, it says it all. Forget any sort of content, make the game playable. No hate, just raw advise.

Took break from this. Love the concept and the game is fun with friends outside of extreme performance issues. Hope this grows into something special

Im so glad the devs love this game as much as the community does, gotta love hearing updates

I love what you guys are cookin'. Can't wait for upcoming patches! This videos and direct contact with community is a true chef's masterclass

Dead side let us use earplugs for loud stuff with y button. Wish we had that in this too

The helis need a queue system. You make your request and instead of being denied, you are added to the queue with an estimate.

When are you guys fixing the absolute dogshit optimization and FPS

Day 13 of asking for SCOPE SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT!!!!!!!

this game is so much fun, I'm a solo most of the time and there's so much to do. GZW thank you for this affordable game I'm hoping to see more in the future and what it holds!

When does AI stop killing me through walls in the bunker?

Healing others should also give the player extra XP

God this is refreshing. As someone who has quit CoD, devs that are actually listening to and working for their players is so nice.

so who did you guys butter cup up to to get the funds to create this game or did you apply for a falsified small business loan to create it there are a lot of people who lie on their application to get a business loan were you one of them ? don't answer that i already know you won't cause your gonna cover your own asses be denying it

great work guys. u have the foundation for an incredible game here, 100 hours in and loving it so far and i believe everything thats wrong with the game is fixable. i believe in you more than any dev team ive seen in years. keep it up.

Question because I want to play with my friends: Will this game ever run around a 2060 or 2070 and 8GB VRAM with a mid range CPU? I mean its UE5 right? So it should be possible to scale down the graphics for mid pcs. Everything under a 4070 feels unplayable and even with a 4070 ti super it feels like 100 fps are not good

why does the "harder" AI ALWAYS side step as soon as you got them on point in your sight?? Thats just unlogical.. feels like they have spidersences... "Hey im a supersoldier.. Look...!! I can go left.. I can go right... I can go left... dunno why... but i can... and... eeeeeeeh fuckit i will instant aimbot headshott you... or my instant aimbot supersoldier will headshot you with yellow muffled earprotection, cus they dont muffel for him, and he can hear everything thru them... kktnxbb

Just my .02$ ● Release level 4 armor & military body armor. it makes no sense that ragtag militia in sandles have armor piercing rounds that defeat every armor in the game in one shot to the chest, especially with AI having walls and aim bot. This defeats the purpose of armor entirely. ● Add some type of thermal scope or drone with a very long cool down, maybe 10 or 20 min to combat the obvious camping problem. Sure, its a realistic dilemma in war but snipers will also sit in the same spot for 60hours strait to find thier enemy, nobody wants that degree of realism. Regaurdless of how you do it, Introducing some type of anti-camping system weather it be that A.I. searching or some type of radar or thermal drone. Just like the Armor problem. Having massive amounts of visual cover in the dense foliage is great but paired with 18x scopes on silent, full auto ARs, with no way to identify them is game breaking favoring only rats who have 4 hours to kill sitting in a bush just to troll. ● Add a legend to the equipment buying system so players can easily understand what the capabilities of thier armor and ammo are without having to be a gun fanatic. Also the 'A' & '+' subgroups of armor are extreamly confusing because there isn't an offical standard for the "A" & "+" subsets of armor, its dependant on the manufacturer which is WAY too much nuance to expect the player to know and understand while panic looting enemys. Level 3A is basically better then level 2 but not quite level 3. Level 3+ is better then level 3. Therefore Adding 3a+ is an absolute nightmare of confusion especially when every player i saw with 3A+ who got killed was furious because they though they had the best armor in the game and got one tapped to the chest from 200m. Level 2, level 3, level 3+, level 4 ect. Without level 4 armor, you might aswell not have armor at all and save the confusion. ● Give the players the option to hold or take off in the chopper + change lz if they misclicked + make choopers hold 6 people so you can help extract randoms in destress without taking 2 choppers to do so, which can total 20+ minutes of waiting in a bush if you're lucky and everyone isn't calling in "bait choppers" bricking the chopper system entirely. ● Adding selectable radio channels with adjustable volume &/or text channels like Arma for the whole faction as well as squads would stop you having to mute loud teammates in gunfights & would promote team cohesion. ● Allow squad sync'ed map pings like Arena Breakout. This would prevent friendly fire, help recover gear from dead teamates and orginize squad movements.

I'm ok waiting for the 'drag teammate' feature .... BUT PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make it easier for us to interact with downed teamates. Its a needle in the haystack situation getting the popup to show. Also let us REMEMBER examination if we lose the interaction

There are 3 things that need allowing. 1. Reset 2. Reset 3. Reset There is no affect on the game allowing people like me, a 70 year old£ guy who much slower to both learn and react the ridiculous fast AI. Running around with a knife and a prayer is not fun and must be have negative affect on sales And not every 3 months! Waiting that long has stopped me upgrading as I would have spend nearly 100 euros and my pension and wife won’t allow such things. Resets as and when, no affect on your pockets

2. In fact helicopter can fly faster 3. Helicopter which "flying away" can return for new call 4. less bushes( grass and corn fields) - more optimisation and more game

Okay guys my honest feedback I would appreciate you doing the performance fixes over stopping people doing the duplication glitches. I would love to see the game run better with higher fps. but that being said I honestly downloaded Tarkov again last night I'm still level 42 I haven't played Tarkov since this game came out. and I can confidently say after playing Gray zone warfare and going back to Tarkov, tarkov is complete trash. now that being said I love this game has so much potential. personally I think a good fix for the helicopter situation is a dynamic lz and also maybe a few atvs waiting back at the fob. also if I'm at the fob waiting And I see a helicopter fly over the fob because it's going to pick somebody up there should be an option for it to stop at the FOB for a few seconds to pick up somebody that would also alleviate Some helicopter wait times. but also I'm noticing a lot of people just sitting back at the fob doing nothing. I don't know if these guys have gear fear or what their deal is but they're literally just sitting at the fob doing nothing like 90% of the players. there needs to be a 15 minute automatic disconnected from the server. too many people are going afk for too long holding up the server

You should be able to go up to a landed helicopter in base and talk to pilot to leave straight away

Still no functional nanite, lumen is forced on and isn't programmed for indoor scenes so there are light pools everywhere inside. and devs are insistent upgrading to 5.4 won't fix the 100% cpu use issue even though the UnrealEngine developers have already confirmed that it is a issue with 5.3. Do Not Buy; devs are idiots.

I have given up playing this till it's running better as it will crash every 5 mins without fall. I'm running a 5800x3d and a 3070ti at 1440p.

I have a RTX 4080 13thGen i9-13900K but the game always crashes. would be nice if you could fix it.

and FINALLY - fix "zeroing" tasks after server error, because hazardous treasure will be infinity task

Yeah... after hearing all the features the devs promise to add to this game, like a day/night cycle, more attachments, and other QOL improvements, it sounds like this game is still very barebones and incomplete. I'll check back in another year from now.

Maybe the ability to actually use your teammates medical supplies if they are in a coma? When your teammates are downed and alive you should always prioritize their medical supplies not my own. My medical is for myself not others if you can help it. Also, how about an option to combine like items. I hate wasting space with 1/3 X and 2/3 X.

The armor and whatnot needs work as well. I mean, AI can tank full mags of rifle ammo wearing nothing but flip flops, a biker vest and a doo-rag, then turn and one shot you in the face while you're both on the move. Some reddit guys did some testing and found that SP ammo is almost worthless. Rifle ammo even SP ammo shouldn't be phased by anything less than level III armor. So I don't think a biker vest or a doo-rag is doing much for protection against rifle threats. But apparently in some cases it's absorbing hits like LVLIV. Shotgun ammo is assbackwards. Slugs penetrate less than buckshot in game. IRL slugs aren't getting reliably stopped by anything short of IIIA, and buckshot which in 00 format is essentially 9-12 9mm balls flying though the air should be stopped by LVL II concealable armor, and even then you're going to be hurting, not one shotting dudes from 50 yards away with your Tokarev. The NIJ specs on armor are readily available and out there.

Still nothing on key spawn rates? I've been looking for the Sawmill office storage and Blue Lagoon Restaurant Storage keys for about a week now... I have also never seen a single YBL key spawn.

1. if you not add more helicopters, so better write full route of helicopter in my opinion, it optimise because most heli flying with 1-2 passager, who know what lz was choosen before, another player who don`t know where it will flying in fact play in logistic roulette

I don’t know if this will even get noticed. but in my opinion it takes way to long to de spawn choppers that have already completed there objective maybe have the de spawn faster i get its only seconds but that’s definitely a start

Wait wait wait, im a game dev and did you just say more helicopters would not be easy because of performance? I think the real reason is that the system was designed for 4 helicopters per faction and the routes are pre calculated to not have collision or weird effects. For client performance more helicopters would be 0 problem if you not make it 30 in the region of a player. Good that they are ack. the issues but its enough to say its on their radar, don't make up reasons.

Choppers are an annoyance but not terrible. At least it's realistic. I think just adding something so you can tell where a chopper is heading to before it gets to base camp will help alot for others to plan if they're going to jump on too.

Choppers are a concern but not so major it makes me want to quit playing. But one thing I noticed that could be fixed somehow is when you call an extract then die while waiting for the chopper to head in, then you spawn back and base and have wait and watch your chopper still come in then fly all the way to a location you’re no longer at all the way across the map then leave. Just cancelling a chopper in that situation would free up a bird and be more efficient. I’m sure that happens often with everyone so that would be a big one just have some sort of cancellation and/or rerouting ability for current choppers or something would be great.

as long as they solve the 1 tap from distance AI, this game would be perfect for me

Can you fix the crash where your mission progression vanishes - all well and good bushes more right now, yaaaaay...

Despite the over the top super human AI vision and reflexs im enjoying the concept, in a way in some areas it reminds me of going into a wow dungeon esp if you are doing it with another player. gg looking forward to what this game will have in the future.

ADS sensitivity for scopes? WHEN? Its an fps game ....

Update: We're working on it.

When you play as a squad you need to share quests progression like "kill 20 enemies in Ban Pa". The point of playing in a squad is to work together and share the progress. When you don't share the mission progress with the squad, you need to wait till AI respawns, kill them, and then you have to do the same with every one in your squad😅

"GZW" has more syllables than "Gray Zone Warfare" Just say Gray Zone Warfare.

Add the ability to use earplugs and fast rope.

Friends, those we shoot at do not die like this. You shoot 60 bullets at some of them and they don't die.

Bro Community Servers possible in the Future after all this issues ??

I’m gonna pretend I never played this game and wait till 1.0

Negative all birds are in the air. Negative Negative Nega Nega all birds are Negative Negative all Negative N NN N ehative all birds are in the air.

Helicopters gonna take 7 years to fix

Fix the invisible wall around the crashed helicopters!!

backpack name/organize-sort button plz

The level of communication from this team is why I'm glad I bought the supporter edition

Losing gear and task progress on crash? Still not fun

Un saludo desde México Daniel XD Botas

This game unfortunately lost so many damn players

I hope if they add a global chat, we are able to turn it off.

Man I just want shadowgun war games

bro dead trigger 2 offline new update please bro

I've noticed a difference in performance, Now I'm getting between 140-180/200 with just fsr no frame gen. I had to get off early this morning though because the servers were absolutely horrible. I have AI disappearing then all of a sudden reappearing right in front of me and then one tapping me in the head. This happened twice today at sawmill. I'm on the east coast US and it seems like everyone gets on this particular server.

Frame rate drops in some of the much harder areas is brutal

Madfinger will you release dead trigger 3

Wow so refreshing to actually hear developers acknowledge the real issues going on with a game!

Nunca debieron borrar Shadowgun deadzone 😢

Food for thought: Imagine a system where you pick your POI instead of LZ and it picks the least crowded LZ for the POI. Solves LZ camping... Imagine a system where you could see where birds are going to from base (a projector screen or something). Could HELP "all birds in the air" issue. A queueing system could also help, with the addition of - instead of flying off screen, any birds dropping off could be rerouted to pick you up.

cant wait for night mode

Bring the optimization of the grahpics!

fix the middle east servers for the love of god

What about a humvee extraction?

Pls add more keys to IA loot, specially those for quests.

I COULDNT HEAR THE VIDEO ALL I HEARD WAS THE HEL-TUT TUT TUT TUT TUT TUT TUT TUT TUT TUT TUT TUT TUT TUT

A simple binocular please.

I don't know if AKS are fixed, or if it's just the new PS ammo I've unlocked. Please just make sure that it doesn't take 20-30 shots to an ai's torso to drop them. Also, foliage still seems to block bullets, or at least reduce their damage. Also you should fix the dupe glitch. Finally, make the ability to create a weapon build with a vendor, and then just be able to buy the weapon build directly from them whenever you want, instead of having to buy all the individual parts. I just dupe good weapon builds, but you need to fix that.

Y’all just ignore performance issues.

I said it before, adding a wait list for the choppers will do it. That way you don't have to change the system and no one can spam the LZ button. They are all on that waitlist till the chopper is there for them. Not sure why you guys didn't think of this. Saying that you didn't expect that many players is just weird. This system is already wonky if there are 4 choppers flying. So you didn't expect more then 3 people on 1 server? I don't think so. But I am just a # in this world. Waitlist and done. Voilla, no screwing around with the system that is already in place. Just a waitlist with the max amount of people on that server.

So night time don't exist in this crap? And how come the weapons when you fire sound like fire crackers 😂😂😂 game sux.

hopefully optimization on performance are coming with each patch. i'm getting inconsistent frame rates each time i connect to a different server. one time i can have 60 to 70 ish, the other time i have 30-40 on the same area.

less talk more do plz

Not the answers we're actually looking for. GIVE US SOMETHING TO FIGHT OVER. WE'RE BORED AND NEED SOMETHING TO DO OR WE'LL END UP PLAYING SOMETHING ELSE WITH SOMETHING TO DO.

Whan scoping with 4x, 5x zoom... fps drop form 140 to 90....Also tigar bay is bad optimised...sorry for bad english Rx 7800 xt R 78003d

go team

fix the optimization

What about not being able to loot your body 50% of the time in pve after patch. Also I crash now more than before patch. I've lost all my gear thanks to server issues and bugs. I paid extra for the best edition of the game just for bugs to take my loot that I paid real money for. Will there be a time when people who paid for supporter edition will have the items reissued.

Can't wait for all of this, really appreciate the way you guys connect with the community ❤

With better AI (especially not being spotted hiding behind a bush from 200M), and crafting this game will become unstoppable.

few suggestions: 1. Make it so that you can call a nearby helicopter that's flying away so it doesn't have to fly all the way back to base and fly out again 2. Have the pilot call out "HOT LANDING ZONE" or something when landing in an LZ with enemies around. 3. Make it so that the more injured the AI are, the worse their aim is. (or make limbs of the AI cripplable: ex. crippled arms = worse aim, crippled legs = slower movement). The AI's accuracy is fine imo, but I think the issue is that they are perfectly accurate even with limb/organ damage.

Playing since yesterday and love it already. Died the first 3 times but after that completing task after task. Its so much fun. Btw i have a I5 12400F with a 2070 Super and have 60FPS with FSR Frame Generation, Medium Settings in 1440P
