THE DEAD ZONE - UPDATE v2.1.186

August 16, 2026 SWITCH COMPAGNIE

Update v2.1.186 : war-flag captures now count, retaliation raids work again, books stay equipped after a relog, survivors keep their full return time, plus a fix attempt for frozen raider compounds.

βš”οΈ Alliance War

Capturing an enemy alliance flag now counts again, the raid no longer shows as "failed" when you leave after grabbing the flag, and the war points are credited and displayed correctly (the points were being awarded on the server, but the result screen was lying to you)

πŸ—ΊοΈ Raid Retaliation

The Retaliate button on an attack report finally works, even when the attacker isn't in your neighbor list, their compound now shows up on the map so you can hit back (including attackers a lot higher level than you)

πŸ“š Books & Effects

Equipped books no longer randomly unequip after logging out and back in, a store mismatch on login could drop all of them at once, now a book that can't be matched stays equipped instead of vanishing

🧟 Survivors Returning

Survivors returning home after looting now keep their full return timer, sending out a second squad before the first one got back no longer cuts the first squad's return short (and no longer makes them look like they teleported home after a relog), multiple squads can return at the same time and each finishes on its own timer

🏚️ Raider Compounds

Attempted fix for the raider compound freezing (static) and the black screen when going back home, we've swapped the raider compound to a battle-tested compound layout, needs testing in-game, if it's still frozen the problem is on the game-client side and will need a client update

πŸ”« Known issue β€” Infinite reload

The infinite-reload bug (manually reloading right before getting suppressed against AI compounds) is a game-client bug, not a server one, it can't be fixed from the server and will need a client-side update

Maybe some still not works, we need to look with the dz team to review all !
