DayZ, the survival game by Bohemia Interactive, received a small patch yesterday. The patch made an important change to M79 Launcher, which was added a few weeks ago. It also brought changes to the server and fixed more than a dozen bugs.
The patch increased the resistance of base-building wooden walls against explosive damage. From now on, the M79 Launcher won’t jam anymore. A server crash related to vehicles is addressed, and The Derringer will now display explosive shells.
CHANGED
- The M79 Launcher can no longer jam
- Slightly increased resistance of the base building wooden walls against explosive damage (tied to plastic explosive fix)
SERVER
- CHANGED: Newly implemented static objects were renamed to StaticObj_* instead of Static_ (https://feedback.bistudio.com/T166003)

FIXED
- It was not possible to access certain clothing containers in the vicinity
- A non-functional "combine" option was displayed for plastic explosives with the remote detonator

- The Derringer did not display ejected shells
- The character got stuck in walking speed after dying while in inventory

- Consuming an item assigned to a quick slot could result in the slot becoming unresponsive
- Raising hands with an opened map in hands could result in desynchronization (https://feedback.bistudio.com/T165934)
- Widgets were still displayed after disabling the HUD via keybinding
- Plastic explosives were dealing inconsistent damage (this also includes additional damage rebalance to reflect this fix)
- An improvised explosive with one plastic explosive was doing more damage than one with two explosives attached
- Disarmed plastic explosives and improvised explosives could not be picked up
- Timers from the improvised explosive could not be disarmed
- Ruined landmines and bear traps were still triggered on contact
