Patch Notes - v3.0.4: Community Bug Sweep
A deep community bug sweep return timers, raid protection, box fuel, "?" outfits, seasonal store items and more. Every report was verified against the game client before shipping.
🗺️ Scavenging & Missions
Auto-resolved loot missions now show the return timer and let you speed it up, instead of leaving your survivors stuck waiting out a hidden, un-skippable timer.
🧟 Enemies
A leftover test enemy that kept spawning an elite far below its level in low areas has been removed, so elites now only start showing up where they're supposed to (level 14 and up).
🎁 Boxes & Rewards
Elite and TerrorDome boxes now show the exact amount of fuel you actually receive, instead of the confusing double number (like "12" next to "60").
🛡️ Protection & PvP
Getting raided or buying protection no longer piles up stacks of "under protection" icons, you get a single, correct timer now.
Old protection that got stuck on forever like a permanent white flag now clears itself automatically the next time you log in.
A player who just earned protection from a raid correctly shows as protected in attack lists, instead of still looking open to attack.
👕 Survivors & Outfits
Outfits that showed up with a broken "?" name and quietly unequipped every time you relogged are fixed and stay equipped.
Accounts that were already affected repair themselves on login, nothing for you to do.
🛒 Store
Holiday items only appear in the store during their actual season again, instead of being available all year round. Season windows :
🎄 Christmas December 1 to January 6
❄️ Winter December 1 to February 28
🎉 New Year December 26 to January 6
🎃 Halloween October 1 to November 2
🦃 Thanksgiving November 15 to November 30
🐰 Easter March 15 to April 30
💗 Valentine's February 1 to February 20
🌸 Spring / Blossom March 20 to April 30
🌞 Summer June 1 to August 31
🎆 4th of July June 25 to July 10
🍂 Autumn / Harvest September 15 to November 30
🔒 Anti-Cheat
Closed a set of exploits used by modded clients to cheat timers : re-farming locked areas over and over, instant-finishing junk/recycle timers, and getting free instant recycles. Timers and lockouts are now enforced entirely server-side, and every attempt is logged for review, so exploiters can be banned permanently on hard evidence.
🧾 Misc
The contact email on the account-suspended screen now points to the correct address (contact@switchcompagnie.eu).
ℹ️ Good To Know
Elite zombies are meant to appear from level 14, the old wiki figure of 15 was simply wrong.
Tier-3 bandages work correctly, they just can't heal the most severe injuries, which need thick or heavy bandages.
Still being worked on: a few map layout issues (raider compounds looking like Union Island maps, regular streets showing the small version, a misplaced office in Riverside Waters), the crashed-car cleanup animation, and trading certain keys/books through the trade channel. These need client and art data, and are queued for a follow-up.
If any other bugs have managed to slip through, let us know.
