Tonight we have a small hotfix to improve helicopter flying on servers under heavy load.
There was an issue where if a server stopped receiving packets from a player for any reason, the current input controls would be kept until the packets start coming in again. This logic works well when running through a field on foot, but holding full left stick when flying a Mozzy for half a second too long means eating explosions.
While we will continue to work on server performance this month to solve the interruptions for good, for now, input controls will revert to neutral with throttle down so you don't drop out of the sky or flip over when packets are lost.
We are aware of a few other issues like Fridges not working right now and will have more fixes in the coming week.
Happy hunting!
Hotfix 0.8.0.1 Is Live
Hi Hurtworldians,
We just pushed out a quick server only hotfix for some creature spawn issues and missing Airdrops.
Yeti's and Clay were the worst affected and should be fixed now.
No client update required.
Happy Hunting!
Island Hopper Update 0.8.0.0 Is Live
Hi Hurtworldians!
Tonight we have the long awaited Island Hopper content update which brings a ton of things that have been in the works for a long time.
Biggest features include the expansion of Nullius to include various exotic islands some of which can be claimed fought over and claimed, others with challenging farming routes and big rewards. To make room for the islands, we have scaled down the main island of Nullius by 25%, we think this improves the feel of the map a ton also, making it much more tightly packed. Less running more gunning.
The Mozzy helicopter now has some serious teeth with the addition of hornet rocket pods coming in 3 flavours: Mining, Combat and Raiding rockets. Rapidly speed up your farming routes by sniping resource nodes with mining rockets or blast away your enemies bases with the mega powerful (and expensive) raiding rockets.
Expect to see some unfamiliar faces on the islands as we roll out 6! new creatures with new loot and combat mechanics. Be careful... these guys are made to be a very tough challenge to even experienced players.
In the meantime we've also added a ton of bug fixes and quality of life updates. See the change log for full details.
This patch requires a wipe on all servers. As we are wiping on a Tuesday we will extend this wipe cycle until the 4th of July.
Happy hunting amigos!

Hotfix 0.7.3.2 Is Live And Official Servers Have Wiped
Hey Hurtworldians,
We've got another hotfix patch to go along with tonight's wipe.
This patch stabilizes the tether system so we no longer have to break tethers when pushed past a force limit. We now also allow multiple players to be connected to the same tether network so they can setup tug of war style situations.
Official servers have been wiped, for community servers this wipe is optional.
As always 0.7.3.1 is currently live on the 'oldversion' branch so you can use this to play on community servers that haven't updated yet.
Enjoy!
Changelog
Improved stability of tether system, tethers no longer have a force limit that can break them
Multiple players can now be connected to the same tether network
Improved the vehicle 'is entry safe' check for unsafe seats (fixes Kanga entering a state where entering it will instantly cause a crash)
In this weeks dev update we go into detail about the next content patch focusing on bringing all our new creatures to life as well as a first look at strapping mounted weapons to the Mozzy!

Patch 0.7.3.0 Is Live!
Hi Hurtworldians!
Tonight we have a content patch for yall that introduces new water mechanics and some new inland water features in the lead up to our island hopping update. We also have the newest member of our weapon arsenal the MAC10 which should melt people up close and becomes even more badass with the rare gangster stock. You'll also find 2 new kickass town events as we work through replacing duplicate towns. Lastly there's a bunch of quality of life changes like finally fixing buggy fall damage when wedged between 2 objects.
Last weeks experiment of timelocked servers will be disabled for now, we will re-evaluate how this affects the game and will likely experiment with it more in future to cater to all players.
The Linux build has been temporarily disabled due to a vulnerability in EAC.
This patch requires a wipe on all servers.
Happy Hunting.
