Changes

  • Significantly increased Scorched Earth Loot Drop Quality
  • Added 5 more Player and Dino levels

Fixes & Improvements

  • Fixed Allosaurus spawning inside bases
  • Fixed issue with being able to clip through World Geometry
  • Fixed Supply Crates respawn logic (would previously have stopped some cave crate spawns)
  • Soups/Beers can no longer be eaten by Dinos
  • SteamOS version works properly again, and memory savings on Linux & Mac
  • Audio system is now fully streamed. Hundreds of MB saved, slight potential perf loss. If you want to use the old system (memory-intensive), launch with -oldaudio

Note: Artifacts have been deleted once, in order to ensure the new limits on carrying them take effect (only Players can carry them now).

254.1

  • Fixed BattlEye connection logic to avoid dropping players. Recommend BattlEye servers update!

254.2

  • Fixed crashing upon loading or running various Mods. Recommend all servers update!

254.21

  • Fixed crash associated with facialhair styles.

  1. For some reason steam doesn’t seem to be able to find the update to 254.21 for me and at least 1 of my friends as well.
    It keeps saying 254.11 in the version doc and the server we usually play on is updated to 254.2 so we can’t play.
    I have tried vaildating the files, restarted steam, tried changing my download region and even uninstalling and reinstalling the game and still no luck.
