1.26 update next week?

[RoY]

I'm seeing rumors from you tube streamers about 1.26 update for supposedly next week that will require a full wipe. I haven't seen any mention of this on the official forums or website. It will be nice to know in advance what is actually going on. here is a example from Always Streams. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8GiUpKDC4U&lc=UgymgRD2ZXo3esRfZ5d4AaABAg.A6dDCos4vJPA6djaAzkxI9

Wobo has a summary of the 1.26 Dev Blog from Twitch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HO-eEfr7rFo

and the Dev Blog, from Twitch https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2212987839

My understanding, is that we will be getting another v1.25 patch, and v1.26 will drop when the Frostline DLC is ready for retail release.

Don't believe random tuber rumours. Check Dayz twitter: there will be a small 1.25 patch next week, along with a character wipe.

But these wipe only apply to official servers? Does the patch require all servers to wipe?

Yeah community servers can choose not to wipe.

I'd have to rewatch the full Dev Stream, but I think the v1.25 patch is optional Wipe, but the v1.26 update will require at least a soft wipe, due to changes in Game Mechanics .. I also saw where some Clothing is getting changed, less cold-gear on Livonia, more cold-gear on Chernarus and the new map .. This might require a full wipe, including character, due to the chance a player is wearing the clothes that are getting changed.

I'm pretty sure no update has ever literally required a wipe. If some object's properties are altered by an update, existing objects simply change after it. Generally the game mechanics have been very backwards compatible on unmodded servers. I don't think I've ever seen anything getting "bricked" by an update.

The devs have recommended wiping on some occasions though. For example when lots of new items are added to the game, or when the terrains are changed.

Force-feeding can only be done from the front.

Yussss! The fact that someone could feed you human meat through the back of your head was awful.

So then nothing in these update videos will be implemented until 1.26 I assume? As well as the new map? Seems to be mixed opinions on this.

the update next week is a hotfix for 1.25:
"Survivors,
We are aware of certain exploits across various platforms.
In response, we are rolling out Patch for 1.25 to address these issues. This patch will enforce a comprehensive reset on all Official servers, including:

PC: Character wipe
Console: A full wipe of both maps and characters

We appreciate your understanding as we work towards enhancing the fair play of our game.

Thanks for the many reports to our feedback tracker"

we dunno when 1.26 hits experimental.

OK, If this update 1.26 affects the base game files then all servers , will have do do a wipe ? regardless of official or community ?

i wouldnt worry too much about that now. this update will take at least two months til it hits stable.
however - most community servers wipe every few months anyway, so with a big game update a wipe is most certain.
