Early today, Bohemia Interactive pushed out a “critical” update for DayZ Standalone. The new patch incorporated changes from the latest Experimental Build and an important fix to prevent players from entering an inescapable “dead” state. The patch may have added some new tweaks and items and killed off a serious fault, but an unintentional bug has snuck past the developer and it’s forcing many players to hold off on playing the game until it’s fixed.
Players on the DayZ subreddit and the game’s official forums are reporting that after several minutes the game’s performance begins to worsen as their framerate drops to low levels . The performance decline is said to be linked to a memory leak associated with the GPU. Dean Hall, creator of the game, states that the team will be looking into a client fix on Monday.
Those affected by the bug will have to give DayZ a break this weekend as the studio is closed. So is the nature of alpha builds … wait, wasn’t I going to stream DayZ on Sunday? Damn it!
