Updates

I’m used to Nelson Updating on Fridays, with bug fixes and all that.
Well last week Friday was either a delay or something, but I’m getting a little frustrated
by his lack of Updates/Fixes for Linux and Windows servers. If not both, then just Linux.

When will be the next update/bug fix? If not this Friday, when?

Don’t expect weekly updates now. Especially with 4.0 being developed, be a bit patient because there are still other curated maps being made so we will get our fix of content.
It’s better to not update the game than rush out a bad update that wasted time that couldve been used for 4.0 development.

I wonder what I’d play in the mean time, 'cause these bugs are mega insufferable…
(Cause this is my favorite game xD)

But saying this now, I don’t know what compelled Nelson to just say “Screw it” and work on Developing 4.0 when it would have been nice to have some kind of fixes for 3.0 in the mean time, so fans like us don’t to suffer while waiting for a possibly bugged 4.0
to me, that makes no sense.
He’s went now 2 weeks from fixing any known bugs, for Linux. Loud rushing water upon entering a server, not sure what caused that.
Slipping through the floor, in a fit of lag or SOMETHING.
4.0 is a good priority, but people have their doubts. I know I do, and I feel Linux won’t get better even after 4.0.

While I see your concern for 3.0 being left unplayable and 4.0 being mediocre, keep in mind that Nelson is taking his time with 4.0 and isn’t rushing it like he did before with 3.0.
Another thing to mention is that the loud rushing water bug is known, it’s usually on Hawaii and Germany only because those maps use the waterfall.
Slipping through the floor or not being able to move is purely lag based.

Yeah we play Germany, don’t plan on playing another map unless something better than Germany comes to be or the Bug is left unfixed.

Ironic, considering my internet is currently at… (Cause I can’t tell ping) Full bars. Must be Serverside lag.

Actually buddy ol’ pal. Let me specify the bug that might either be a bug or server side nonsense.
Opening a door, then bounces on the ground and sometimes falls through the floor and back up.

Maybe the fact that very very few people, when asked by popular communities if they’d prefer if Nelson just worked on 4 rather than 4 and Unturned 3, actually said to work on both. If you’re going to take interest in the game’s continued development, then you need be vocal in your community at all times. In general, people seem to have a habit of being vocal only when it suits them.

That aside, last week (and by extension, this week) Nelson was working on getting a new Devlog put out. It was pretty well speculated/known that Devlog 4.0 was going to come out around then, so I personally found it safe to assume there wasn’t going to be an update.

Iirc there have been some unlisted patches that fixed some bugs though, such as 3.24.4.2, and there are some minor bugs Nelson has fixed recently, but has not released a patch/update for yet.

If Nelson does decide to actually put Unturned 3 on the back-burner for a bit though, there’s always curated content in the works in the meanwhile. The full NPC update is coming to Greece whenever it is fully complete, there’s the Isle of Cyprus arena map at some point, and then there is France (and any curated map related patches those teams send through along the way). More timed curated content could be done too, although I’m skeptical of that happening atm. Another Stockpile update or Workshop Crate addition would possibly be more likely, since those take far less planning ahead of time.

The addition of the Community Module will also likely lead to some more interesting things.

The amount of bars on your WiFi bar doesn’t equal your ping. You’re possibly joining servers out of your region, and thus have high ping. You can see server latency before joining the server, and even sort ascending/descending based on it.

Not a bug, just make sure you play on servers that work for you (or better-hosted servers). Or, standing out of the way so the door doesn’t collide with you would probably help too if you choose to remain on that server.

4 and Unturned 3 are separate games. 4 has development with Linux and Mac in mind, and Nelson’s official servers run off Linux. Linux support—and by extension, Mac support—will be better, fortunately!

If we’re talking Region like US, eastern US, or Western US and not South East Asia. Then yeah, I’m within the East of US, a few states away from Boston, where the server is being hosted on a Linux (I’m guessing Server farm).

Go to your game settings and tick the option that enables the “FPS/Debug” overlay, this will let you see your ping (im ms) and your FPS at any given time.

Your bars of wifi are completely unrelated with your ping, and since you seem to not be using a good wired internet connection, you’re going to have to expect unbearable amounts of lag on any server. If you can, use a PC instead of a laptop.

This is funny, I complain more about this game than I do about ARK. Its funny because of the fact, if enough people say something about a bug, Problem, or anything. Someone will reply, with help and/or suggestions.
The punchline, is that Ark doesn’t do squat. There were so many people who belly ache about Lag, Optimizations, Additions, what needs to be removed, etc etc.
Boop nothin’.
Long live Nelson. :3

-And to GreatHeroJ > Current ping going at 74-79 at the least.

That’s good because High ping is bad last I heard.

That’s because “ping” or latency is the delay between your game and the server due to internet connection. Having latency is unavoidable, but the smaller the ping is, the better, since it means you have a smaller delay.

In Unturned less than 100 ms of ping is good, and the acceptable range for me is up to 150 ms.

Oh, please. Give this man a break. Don’t expect weekly updates.

Nelson should make a post to explain how 3.0 updates and stuff will work now.
