Friends of Death is now Chaos Island. From a large size server we have moved to a cozier and more hectic 50 player cap and 3k map size.

Come join the fun!

New patch is released today and is on the server now! They have started having the other developers put in what they have done and/or are doing into the patch notes. I placed the names above the notes for that person.

Below is a list of the changes and addtions you will find when logging in.

Additions:



Garry Newman

*Signs - We now have signs. They are creafted like any other item and placed like any other item. They observe the rules of a cupboard meaning if placed in the radius, only authorized cupboard people can change the sign.

*Death Routine - Dying always sucks, but the way the death screen popped up and you had no idea what happened made it suck extra hard. Players now get wounded, which means they get knocked to the ground and are unable to do anything other then look around and shout. While wounded other players can loot them, or they can help them up. After a number of seconds, if not helped or killed, the player will die.

*ISO Noise - This is to fight against the Gamma Hacks peopel tend to use at night time.

*Performance Improvements - Steps taken to improve game performance.

*Disabled FPS graph (because it hurt fps).
*FPS display is now more accurate (but why aren’t you using the FPS counter in the steam overlay?).
*Fixed server sometimes showing wrong IP address for client.
*Fixed corpses sometimes being unlootable.
*Fixed chat opening when renaming sleeping bag.
*Tweaked tooltip/crosshair/health hud.
*Tweaked placement guide colours.




Alex Rehberg

*Weapons sound better (melee and ranged)



Minh Le

*Animals and people have a flinching animation when hit



Xavier Coelho-Kostolny

*Clothing meshes together better



Megan Tupper

*More in game incons



Vincent Mayeur

*Instead of a wall falling when it is destroyed, now it breaks apart.



Maurino Berry

*Consuming food and medicine plays sound effects.
*You can now only eat a piece of food every 2 seconds.
*Max caloric HP regen restricted to 60% base + 40% * Comfort level.
*Shooting or aiming projectile weapons will stop sprinting and perform the action similar to melee, instead of not being allowed to do those actions when sprinting.
*Pressing the sprint key when autosprinting will disable it.
*Nerfed salvaged hammer – Range is now similar to other weapons of same category.
*Increased Salvaged hammer cost.
*Slightly lowered Stone Pickaxe damage.
*Made bandages easier to craft.
*Nerfed pump shotgun, because it used to do 300 damage per shot.



André Straubmeier

*Fixed guns and melee weapons failing inside caves.
*Fixed crazy sky rendering.

Today marks patch day and because we haven't done it in 2 weeks, we decided to do a full wipe. I know some may be upset over this, but it was a chance for us to update the server name, get a new map, and hopefully get that 30+ population we are used to having after patch day!

New name is: Friends of Death | Wipe 3/19 | Actv Admins | Lg Map | Raid Hvy

New map link is: http://www.playrusthq.com/generated-map/ZpyvvGUz

This new map is 6500 size (last map was 5000 size). Enjoy the new update!

[EAC] Kicking

This is a bug as a result of Reknet. The new network Reknet has a bug in it causing the EAC (Easy Anti-Cheat) to kick people.

Please keep trying to connect. You will connect eventually.

Admins are experiencing these problems as well so it isn't just you guys!

Thanks for picking Friends of Death and happy gaming!
