DayZ, the survival game by Bohemia Interactive, received a small update today. The patch went live for both PC and consoles, but the changes differ between these platforms. The patch is solely focused on bug fixes and improvements, so don't expect new content.
From now on, you will be able to lower the flag from the flagpole. Skipping the starting engine animation for vehicles isn’t possible anymore. Vertical camera settings will be saved as intended and buried items won’t show the Bury option anymore.
You can read the complete changelog below.
