The Bohemia Interactive-developed zombie survival game DayZ has received an update 1.38 on console! This hotfix will resolve a number of minor issues. You can read the update 1.38 patch notes below to find out exactly what’s changed.
The DayZ Update 1.38 fixes numerous issues in the game. Some of the most significant ones include: fixing a flag pole problem, a fix for the engine starting animation, and a bug that made cooking on a gas stove take a particularly long time. Another issue is that the vertical camera settings didn’t persist after restarting the game. Additionally, some player bodies would no longer be removed from equipment after skinning, and buried items would still have the option to be buried.
