Probably something at Skip Tracer.  We'll fix that real fast.  Such a stupid restriction from BIS.

• Turfs now have a separate drug dealer that is only usable by players of the gang that owns the turf.  Being within range of the drug dealer could result in your untimely demise.

@Gnashes @bamf wtf does this mean?!

 

 

[Gaskal]

The turf drug dealer was at the "signs", now it's stand alone.  It would have been impossible to tell if someone was selling drugs or gearing.  Now it's going to be easier to know.

Would it be difficult to get mods  onto tonoa, Like cloths and guns? Not asking for it but, I think that would bring some new players to the server.

Adding mods we do not control is not something we want to do again.  Lesson learned there...

The biggest change here is the ability to turn map markers on or off according to your needs.  Go to settings on your phone and click page 2.  

Other than that, here are the tweaks and changes in this patch:  

• Being flash banged no longer turns on your NVGs
• UC APD officers can now feign picking drugs etc
• UC APD Officers now have a few more items they may spawn with
• The APD will no longer receive pings for criminals wanted for less than $500
• Drug dealer pings now display the city name
• Car alarms will now alert the APD at a slightly increased range
• A second Skip Tracer base has been added near Kavala
• The Kavala checkpoint has relocated slightly as a result
• APD higher ups may no longer lock or unlock doors for player housing when that player is not online
• Fixed an exploit of the federal reserve
• Fixed an exploit related to prison breaks
• Bounty Hunters can now purchase a license as long as they have less than $100 in charges
• If you cancel an adrenaline shot, it should now return to your inventory as expected
• Vehicles will now show the names of the players who are red to you, instead of everyone's name being red
• Death now properly removes blindfolds
• The cocaine field on Altis has relocated slightly
• Sofia now has a dive shop
• Turfs now have a separate drug dealer that is only usable by players of the gang that owns the turf.  Being within range of the drug dealer could result in your untimely demise.
• Turf control areas have been slightly reduced in size
• Using Skip Tracer honor talents now require you to actively be a Master Bounty Hunter
• Several talents that should not stack have been fixed to function as they were designed
• Police restrained players who have a gold bar in their inventory may now be placed into helicopters by an APD officer
• Many, many other bug and performance enhancements have been applied.

Finally, we have made some changes that we hope (emphasis on hope) may help address the memory leak on the server side that I believe results in the BE kicks occurring.  Testing on dev looks somewhat promising, but we will see how it functions on live servers and adjust from there accordingly.  

Again, a big thanks to @Gnashes for his work on the patch!

P.S. - This will roll out for Altis right away, and for Tanoa once I make a few map changes there.  

Don't like the colors at all...

O, did you guys get onto some legal troubles? If that is the case then I fully understand but, if not I know why server 6 died. It was due to poor money making methods and placement as well as the fact that money did not transfer between servers. I think bringing back a new modded server where the community can some what see where things will be can be very beneficial for you guys!

Same issue as previously stated, Do not own expansions, new update makes connecting impossible.

If the person who creates the mod updates said mod, the Steam framework updates people subscribed to that mod.  If it happens in the middle of the night (or if I'm not near a PC), then the server can't be joined by players.  Thus you want to control when the mods get updated etc.

[[df]Smokahontas]

Can we have an Old School asylum server? You know, without all the crafting and bounty hunters.

[Rusty:)]

Can we get the old jail back, this one is too laggy. 20 frames no matter what pc you have

[bamf]

Also, we just pushed the update to allow non Apex owners to join Altis.  Man I really dislike that restriction.  

For those wondering, it was a pile of wood being used as decoration...

Ahh ok, thank you for the response.

gamebreaking

unplayable

changes my experience too much.

 

[bamf]

Update:  

@Gnashes wants me to say it was a "mostly complete" pile of wood.  He replaced it with a pile of pipes.  

This just in:  @Gnashes laid pipe on the server.

[Windmere]

@Gnashes Ifrit smokes?

[Zorrak]

The turfs have different signs that are drug dealers, so if you access them people can kill you.

[Nightfury]

nice patch +1

[Gen. Henry Arnold]

Is there an ETA on the patched patch so non Apex can join?

[bamf]

Update:

The patch is rolling out on Tanoa, and there is one more change to mention.  The Nandai turf has been moved to the north a touch per multiple player's request.

Didn't all of the problems come from the custom map you guys decided to use? I played on a modded server and they did not have any of the problems Aussie did.

Different issues.  The map had memory leaks.  

We also had problems with mods we didn't control...
