Just Survive news & patch notes

https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/7576772/a699ac67c232209766cb633e9203df556cde8e9d.jpg Dear Survivors, After careful consideration, we’ve made the difficult decision to sunset Just Survive on Wednesday, October 24 at 11 a.m. PT. The excitement of the game’s promise was palpable and its loyal community is still full of ideas for its future. Unfortunately, we are no longer in a position to fulfill its greatness and the current population of the game makes it untenable to maintain. Just Survive was part of our first Early Access project, and we learned a great deal during its development. As with any open world game, the greatest stories came from our passionate players. From the incredibly skilled base builders to the free-ranging gangs, and all of the players named variations of “ImFriendly” and “PleaseDontShootMe”, we hope everyone had amazing adventures across Pleasant Valley and Badwater Canyon. Thank you for taking the time to play the game, to help test it when we opened the Test servers to the public, and for all of the suggestions and feedback throughout Early Access. We truly appreciate everyone’s commitment and your contributions throughout the development process. Our promise is to do better and learn from every experience along the way. Just Survive servers will remain available for play until Wednesday, October 24 at 11 a.m. PT, and starting immediately all Steam purchases and in-game transactions have been disabled. To find out if you are eligible for a refund via Steam, please visit this link. Thank you again for your support and dedication to Just Survive. Best, The Just Survive Team at Daybreak Games   FAQ

• Integrated new version of BattlEye.
• Fixed unlimited bag exploit.
• Fixed vehicle / death exploit.
• Fixed respawn exploit.
• Various anti-cheat improvements.

We are also reducing the number of Live servers available in certain regions during Wednesday’s update in order to increase the player population per server.

https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/7576772/d4fffed0f59880cbedadb5e39b59875f1a5a680e.jpg Hello survivors! We have just updated Live with the following:

• Lifetimes for traps and other "placeable" objects has been drastically shortened if they're not placed on a foundation or in a shack.
• Duct tape has been removed from the plated armor recipe, and replaced with composite cloth.
• Periodic shuddering due to an approximately one second hitch has been fixed.
• Many more crates have been added to the gator recipe.  Enjoy!  If you find specific items that are missing or very desirable, please feel free to list them.
• Player bases take progressively more damage from explosions the longer they have been abandoned.  Bases that have been vacant for almost a week should be very easy to clean up, allowing other squads to take over an area.  We expect to tweak the math underlying this feature, so please give feedback.
• Several more anti-cheat modules have been added.

We noticed a problem during the Live patch QA pass with traps on Foundations. Some of them are not persisting properly. We will be looking into this for a possible hotfix.

https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/7576772/9513b42c4a9cd4ae058933e40c6d3db55ff34e27.jpg Greetings Survivors! Today's update to the Just Survive live servers includes the following changes:

• Several new categories of anti-cheat.
  • We have been tuning these on Test to limit the amount of false positives.
• Better version of recursive destruction.
  • It's quicker, and should destroy the appropriate structures.
• Better version of crouch-spam penalty.
  • Our 3rd version of this gives a small movement limitation when the player goes in and out of crouch too quickly.
• Corrected upgrade costs for building.
  • The earlier changes to construction did not extend to upgrading pieces. Now they do.
• Removed returned materials from destruction.
  • With how easy it is to build, this was no longer needed.
• Fixed the shacks to be more secure.
  • There was a problem with the "secure volume" within locked shacks.
• Slightly increased the chance for fertilizer to spawn in other locations, inside boxes and crates.
  • These are the destructible boxes and crates scattered through the map.
• Fixed periodic "hitch" that was causing some people to hit the lag limit.
• Any locked Crates in your inventory should now be unlocked.
  • Enjoy! Thanks for playing Just Survive!

There was a change to our shadow and flora pipelines for performance gains. Our suggestion is that you:

• Log out
• Delete or rename your UserOptions.ini file in your Just Survive folder
• Log in
• Try all of the default render levels, especially Medium if you have an older computer. "Low" is almost never the highest FPS option.

https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/7576772/cbafdbf9b42a57555cb1ab62bc3ed1fa46dd4837.jpg Hello Survivors! Just Survive has been updated, and a character and server wipe performed.  This update includes new server rulesets, including the following:

• “Clan Wars” – reduced zombie population PVP
• “Solo PVP” – all grouping / sharing mechanisms disabled to encourage solo play
• “Hardcore PVP” – increased zombie spawns and decreased loot spawns for a hardcore survival experience
• “Sandbox PVP” – PVP without the POI build restrictions – if you’ve ever wanted to build a base in the middle of Pleasant Valley, now is your chance!
• “Hardcore PVE” – increased zombie spawns and decreased loot spawns for a hardcore survival experience without PVP combat / raiding
• “PvPvE” – PVP servers without Raiding

Look for these rulesets in the updated server browser!   In addition to rulesets, this update includes significant changes to construction, loot, and NPCs. 

• In PVP, we’ve reduced the number of foundations a player can build, but allow clan members to snap their foundations together. 
• We’ve streamlined a lot of the loot in the game to reduce the clutter of objects that had different names but the same gameplay function
• We’ve completely rebuilt our NPCs for performance and behavior improvements, and they now spawn based on world location rather than near players.  You’ll find more zombies in town centers, and you’ll find wildlife running away from gunfights.

  For the fashionable survivor, we’ve added new Trade-Up exclusive items to Just Survive, read more about them right here. We’ve also added the new Reload Crate, available in the marketplace.   As a thank you to our dedicated fans, players will receive a last chance Avalanche Crate after 30 minutes of play, and a new Reload Crate after 4 hours of play (tracked over multiple sessions). https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/7576772/276aafd63a431305815f3c6f7b30ac61339af8c1.jpg

Today's update has spent a lot of time on test iterating and taking feedback from the entire Just Survive community.  Let’s talk about what led us here and what the future holds for Just Survive.

The Past

For those that don't know me from our Community Discord or my frequent posts on our Reddit Community, I'm Michael Clark, aka DGC_Michael, Producer for Just Survive. For over a year now, my team and I have been making revolutionary changes to Just Survive, to make the game and the survival genre appeal to a broader audience. While that new creative vision called "Badwater Canyon" was in the early stages with one part of our team, my primary job became improving Just Survive with a small side team. The direction and development of each Just Survive update from December 2016 through April 2017 was part of this core effort from our side team.  During this time we were thrilled to see the growth for Just Survive, hitting some of our largest concurrent player numbers in the history of the game. During April, our small team was fully integrated into Badwater Canyon development.  On August 15th, 2017, Badwater Canyon launched and brought a ton of new features and gameplay to Just Survive, with plans for many more to come in the future. While some of our fans were pleased with the radical changes we made to the game with Badwater Canyon, it did not bring in as many new players as we had hoped.

The Present

As we've previously mentioned here, in September 2017 we moved forward with a second shift in focus, with the entire team adjusting towards the more familiar and successful version for which our initial small side team had been responsible for.  The first part of this effort went live late in November 2017, bringing back free placement of player bases and the full Z1 map. Today's update is the second half of that effort, and includes numerous changes to core gameplay, including combat, construction, and raiding overhauls, all of which were developed with significant player involvement.  You can read the full patch notes here. The team will continue to develop new features and rework existing ones with this new core to the game, alongside all of our players, examining feedback along the way. The overarching philosophy behind each future update is to respect the core gameplay and honor the gameplay concepts while augmenting, rather than replacing, that core experience with new features and content.

The Future

One of the first new features we're looking to add to Just Survive is a permanent, account-based progression system.  Server wipes are vital to the changing development process, and as we work to formalize server wipes into a proper seasons system, we want to ensure that players have achievement tracking and account-based progression so that they maintain permanent gains across each wipe. We're also looking to expand upon the Quest and Event content in the game to provide deeper gameplay and greater rewards to enrich both the survival and PVP aspects of the game. In addition to new features such as these, we're also re-examining existing systems like our loot and crafting economy, with the aim of streamlining and clarifying the purpose of the items available. Every item should always have a purpose, even if that purpose is to be utilized in crafting. Now that we've streamlined the tier system and added an upgrade system to our weapons, we're also ready to start looking at modifying weapon balance and ensuring that every weapon has a purpose and feels right.

Closing Thoughts

If you've been playing Just Survive consistently throughout Badwater Canyon, we thank you for all of the continued feedback and engagement. If you are reading this and haven’t played in a while, we encourage you to log back in. For all those playing this new update, you'll get a Hideout Crate after 30 minutes of play and an Avalanche Crate after your first four hours playing this update. Thank you, Survivors.

After a long time of iterating on Test and listening to player feedback, we're Live!  Servers have been wiped and Just Survive is available to patch and play. Here are the highlights:  

Better Construction, Better Destruction

http://cdn.edgecast.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/7576772/7202607e21618fc9bf0aab1ed0b117dd32839062.jpg The construction system has been rebuilt to allow for improved Base Component placement to make it easier to patch the holes left after a raid.  While your character wields the Stronghold Hammer, you can interact with Base Components to upgrade them into Metal or Stone Components, or apply your purchased skins to unskinned Base Components. Recursive Destruction has been upgraded to make bases more resilient to damage.  Under the old system, taking out a single support would cause everything above it to fall to the ground and be destroyed.  With this new system, you'll need to destroy all of the supports before the base collapses, making upper floors much more durable.

Weapon Upgrades and Tier Changes

http://cdn.edgecast.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/7576772/3fce9de9c421bf5dcfb77553978e7968645a9129.jpg Weapon and Armor Tiers have been streamlined, reducing the number of weapon and armor variants available.  Players can now upgrade their weapons by salvaging Gun Parts and Weapon Repair Kits to improve the rate of fire, magazine size, recoil, and accuracy of a gun.  In addition to salvaging guns you find to improve your weapons, some Rare Weapons and Gun Parts can be found by completing quests or killing special zombies.

New Construction Options and Raid Balance

http://cdn.edgecast.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/7576772/1ee536b7c171358e9814f663134f357bd7904338.jpg We've completely rebalanced base components, with Metal Components and Metal Shacks taking significantly more punishment than they used to take.  Stone Components can now be built, providing even more protection.  Vaults join the world of Just Survive, providing players with secure areas to protect their valuables inside their base.  Explosive crafting has received a buff, with several key components being more readily craftable, with recipe cost reductions and the ability to craft more components than before.

Flashback Crates

http://cdn.edgecast.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/7576772/7c8f4ff99a48649dd71e39be3c11e145572edf5e.jpg Replacing the Survivor's Collection, these limited time crates offer a mix of classic favorites like the Throne of Guns and Mask of the Jester, as well as never before released items like the Red Demon Mask or Patriotic Sniper Rifle.  Don't miss out!

Free Crates

While we are keeping the survey (available here) open for additional responses, we've already gotten a tremendous response and are starting to analyze and react to the data. Our first priorities at the moment are addressing issues related to body simulation, ammunition availability, and construction costs.  This update includes stamina system changes from this feedback.  We will have additional survey-driven changes in thursday's update, and additional changes in the following week.

• Upgrade system does not currently work with construction permissions (it will when this goes Live) - right now only the owner of the base can upgrade
• Stone Construction components are missing vfx/sfx, most notably open/close sounds and destruction vfx - these are still in development
• Upgrading doors causes them to lose their codes
• Doors/Windows/Gates whose door frames have been upgraded before the 2/6 update may not open correctly - remove and rebuild the door to fix this issue
• Some components upgraded before 2/6 may have components attached to them that exhibit incorrect behavior, IE not allowing a player to build on them, or floating after their parent is destroyed

A wipe was performed. This update is heavily focused around improving the core construction and raid mechanics. To that end, we've introduced the third construction tier, Stone, as well as introducing an upgrade system. With the Stronghold Hammer equipped, you'll be able to interact with any base component to upgrade to a higher tier (if you have the proper materials) or skin a component to a premium skin (if you own the appropriate skin), without causing damage to your base. Alongside these features come significant balance changes, focused around tuning construction and raid balance towards the pre-BWC balance. Significantly more explosives are required to destroy a base, and construction costs have been reduced. Yeast is now craftable, allowing players to grow crops to craft Ethanol over time to fuel their raiding. A survey will be released Friday via the launchpad after players have had a few days to experience this update to gather feedback on the overall balance of crafting, raiding, and combat. We will be using the results of this survey to further tune balance on Test before releasing this update to Live. This update includes the following changes:

• Reduced the cost of Wood and Metal Construction components
• Increased hitpoints of Metal Construction components
• Reduced the cost of Metal Shacks
• Increased hit points of Metal Shacks
• Added Stone Construction components
• The Demolition Hammer has been renamed to "Stronghold Hammer"
• You can interact with base components to upgrade or paint them when you have the Stronghold Hammer equipped
• Base Foundation placement detection improved and Base Foundation objects go deeper into the ground - Foundations are now much easier to place and can be placed in many more locations
• Removed ramps from 3 sides of Base Foundations and made Foundations rotatable during snapping
• Improved recursive destruction (added re-parenting on loss of parent). This means that you must blow up all supports for a base component before it will be destroyed, rather than just the original component supporting it
• Storage Containers now drop their loot in a loot bag on death, rather than dropping the items individually (addresses performance issues during raiding)
• Storage Containers cannot be opened by players who do not have permissions to open them
• Storage Containers have increased hitpoints
• Removed Pipebomb
• Renamed I.E.D. to Ethanol Bomb
• Adjusted tier rankings of Dynamite, Ethanol Bomb, Dynamite Bundle to match explosive value
• Increased bulk of dynamite
• Yeast (an explosive component) is now craftable
• Players who die in cars now have their loot dropped into the car's inventory
• Cars that are destroyed now drop their loot in a bag
• Improved armor functionality versus melee weaponry
• Improved Helmet functionality against low tier .308 Rifles
• Increased the number of ammunition spawns
• Reduced Banshee scream radius
• Reduced Banshee damage to vehicles
• Reduced Gasser damage
• Gassers and Exploders now work properly on PVE servers
• Reduced burning time for players
• Fixed an issue where players would be in passive stance when exiting a vehicle
• Fixed an issue that made it diffcult to harvest some crops
• Fixed several crash scenarios
• Fixed a memory leak
• Fixed a vehicle exploit
• Fixed an item exploit
• Fixed a construction placement bug that allowed certain items to be placed in the same location (to no gameplay benefit - not an exploit)
• Improved "no clip" cheat protection
• Fixed an issue that allowed players to enter the Quarantine Zone on both maps and sometimes caused players to spawn there
• Updated anti-cheat countermeasures

This update includes the following known issues:

• Upgrade system can display incorrectly for upgrading metal to white metal / green metal
• Upgrade system does not currently work with construction permissions (it will when this goes Live) - right now only the owner of the base can upgrade
• Stone Construction components are missing vfx/sfx, most notably open/close sounds and destruction vfx - these are still in development

Live Servers are now available to patch and play, and a wipe was performed on Live during the maintenance period. While we were initially hoping to push this update out without requiring a wipe, escalating abuse of the exploits fixed within indicated that it would be best for our players to wipe out the unfair advantage that these abusers had gained through cheating. This update is focused on bugs and fair play. In addition to the base intrusion exploits patched below, this update's anti-cheat update includes significant improvements to systems related to intrusion detection (which leads to bans) and prevention (which keeps the cheat action from working correctly).

Bug Fixes and Updates:

• Players who log out on top of a base foundation they do not own / have permissions on will login near the base instead of in/on the base (preventing multiple intrusion exploits)
• Fixed a duplication exploit
• Fixed a base entry exploit involving vehicles
• Adjusted Banshee spawn rates for Z1 and BWC
• Fixed an issue where Banshees didn't drop Worn Letters on BWC correctly
• Fixed an issue where placed base components would highlight under certain incorrect conditions
• Fixed an issue where filing cabinets would not properly spawn loot
• Fixed an issue where paintings couldn't be placed on some surfaces
• Updated anti-cheat countermeasures
• Our next major content update is several weeks away from appearing on Test, and with it will come the new construction tier, upgrade system, and extensive construction and raid re-balancing that will require some time on Test before it releases to Live.

Thank you Survivors, and thank you to @FMJxRENEGADE on Twitter for the header image on this article.

• The Holly Jolly Rampage has ended, and weather patterns have returned to their normal patterns
• Fixed an issue causing players and zombies to render as a "stick man" character at long range
• Fixed an issue that caused zombies and wildlife to be immune to area of effect damage from grenades, molotovs, etc
• Updated anti-cheat countermeasures

We have a lot in store for Just Survive in 2018, including the first of many major content updates in development, introducing Stone Construction. We'll talk more about this Construction update in the coming weeks. We understand that many players are concerned with fair play, anti-cheat, bugs and stability. Updates addressing those issues (like today's update) will be published prior to the next major content release.

Just Survive is available to patch and play. Note - shortly after the update yesterday we resolved an issue that was giving a small group of players erroneous unfair play rejections. No player accounts were affected by this but it did lock some players out for a period of time. This update includes the following fixes:

• Fixed an issue that caused door/gate/shutter collision to drift away from the renderable mesh after repeated openings on white and green metal objects
• Fixed an issue that could cause abnormal vehicle behavior under certain conditions
• Fixed an issue that could cause player collisions with actively moving doors to behave erratically
• Using the trade-up system to trade-up a set of items including the Alpine Tactical Jacket now provides the appropriate rarity increase in the resulting item
• Updated anti-cheat countermeasures

Just Survive has been updated and is available to patch and play.

To accommodate map changes and fixes below, Just Survive servers have been wiped. This update includes significant anti-cheat updates, including new technology to detect, prevent, and punish players passing through world geometry and player constructed bases. This update includes the following updates:

• Explosives re-balance - reduced explosive damage
• IED buff - damage increased, bulk decreased
• Rebalanced Z1 loot distribution - more widely distributed military equipment spawners, added and removed loot spawners to better normalize loot distribution across the map
• Fixed a bug that could cause a player to die on login under certain circumstances
• Significant server performance improvements - this should affect NPC performance, timer / interaction response, and general multiplayer performance (this is not a client FPS improvement)
• Added Medical Cabinet Storage Decoration Recipe
• Added Taxidermy Bear Decoration Recipe
• Added Taxidermy Deer Decoration Recipe
• Added 8 Painting Decoration Recipes
• Fixed an issue with Molotov Cocktail VFX not displaying for other players
• Fixed an issue where players would get stuck in aim mode after aiming and have their movement slowed
• Fixed an issue where undoing placement of a metal shack door granted a metal door instead
• Fixed an issue where players could not snap foundations to claimed Strongholds
• Fixed an issue where vehicles had a limited number of inventory slots in addition to their bulk (their bulk is unchanged)
• Fixed an exploit where players could store non-Stronghold components in their Stronghold bag
• Fixed an exploit that allowed players to respawn near their lootbag
• Updated anti-cheat detection and prevention countermeasures

This update introduces the Avalanche Crate!

There’s no better way to update your look for the season than items from the new Avalanche Crate! This crate has items to add some holiday cheer to your Stronghold, or to let other survivors know that you’re ready to stay frosty. Crates can be purchased with Daybreak Cash via the in-game Marketplace. Recipes can be used to craft multiple copies of an item, but each item you craft requires that you gather the necessary materials through gameplay. Players who log in between 10:00AM PST on December 19th through 12:00AM PST January 2nd will receive one free Avalanche Crate

This update also brings a Holly Jolly Rampage!

From December 19th through January 2nd, festive zombies roam through Anywhere USA (Z1) and Badwater Canyon, carrying gifts for good survivors and coal for everyone else. "Sleigh" these zombies for a chance to receive one of these three gifts:

• Blue and White Holiday Helmet
• Green and Red Holiday Helmet
• Alpine Camouflage M9

Players who log in between 10:00AM PST on December 19th through 12:00AM PST January 2nd will receive a free Patchwork Rudolph Nose

Hello Survivors! Just Survive Live has just been updated with a host of anti-cheat and stability fixes. Accompanying these updates is a full server wipe. Wipes are not something we take lightly. We had hoped to avoid wiping player progress while developing this update, but we were unable to publish this update before a particularly nasty duplication exploit went viral. A large number of bans have been handed out and additional bans will follow for abusing the exploits listed below. Remember - if have evidence of someone cheating in-game, you can report them to [email protected] and a customer service representative will investigate the issue. While many cheats are detected and action taken without requiring these reports, reporting players allows you to contribute to the discovery of new methods of cheating and ensure that action is taken against those that cheat. This update includes the following fixes:

• Fixed several server crash scenarios
• Fixed an exploit that allowed players to duplicate thrown grenades
• Fixed an exploit that allowed players to attack with melee at range
• Fixed an exploit that allowed players to duplicate items
• Fixed an exploit that allowed players to respawn on their corpse
• Fixed an exploit that allowed players to receive items not normally available in the game
• Adjusted camera collision for foundations to reduce the ability to clip the camera through foundations
• Fixed an issue preventing the placement of chain door locks in areas where they should be placeable
• Fixed an issue causing hospital doors to not spawn on Z1
• Fixed an issue with incendiary grenades
• Additional Anti-Cheat countermeasures

We appreciate and are humbled by the influx of players, new and old, and would like to thank you for your patience as we work to combat the malicious few who attempt to cheat. While we believe at this time that we have resolved all cheating vectors, we remain vigilant and will continue to combat cheats as they become known. We’d also like to thank the many individuals who have helped us discover and eliminate many of the exploits listed above – your dedication to the Just Survive Community benefits every one of us.

Hello! There's a lot going on under the hood on Just Survive. While the overwhelming majority of players play the game fairly, there is a subset of folks who seek to exploit and cheat their way to victory without any sense of dignity or morality. There are multiple vectors through which people attempt to cheat, including:

• Modifying the way the game or BattlEye (part of our anti-cheat system) communicate with the game servers
• Modifying the way the game client runs, or the files it uses
• Finding and exploiting a rule breaking bug, ie to duplicate items or push through collision

The recent updates have included significant improvements to our detection features across all of the above. We've shut down a significant number of cheats and exploits over the past few weeks. One of our most powerful weapons in the anti-cheat arsenal is still relatively new, and we're working out the kinks - this is why we have seen two batches of erroneous G202s. We fixed it the first time around but are investigating this second issue still to determine why things went haywire. A fix for this has just been pushed out just moments ago. If you have received a G202 erroneously, there is no need to plead your innocence - the error will clear with time and you'll be able to get back in. HOWEVER, there are a number of folks this weekend who thought they had found a great new cheat method that was undetected. They are wrong, and a large ban wave is incoming. We expect these folks to surface and plead their innocence, attempting to confuse the issue for everyone who isn't cheating. Again, if you have received a G202 and are not cheating, you have nothing to worry about in the coming days. If you have been cheating, even if you haven't received a G202, enjoy the ban. We are targeting an update for late this week focused around anti-cheat and G202s that will close up a number of exploits and cheats.
