DayZ Will Shut Down Its Servers For Another 1.18 Experimental Update

DayZ is currently in its 1.18 experimental server cycle. This means that the official experimental servers contain slightly advanced code that hasn’t managed to get to the live servers due to its testing purposes. With that said, a new Hotfix will be deployed in approximately 30 minutes, adding up to a total of three experimental updates for the 1.18 experimental cycle. The latest update is titled 1.18 Update 3, and it contains plenty of fixes and changes.

Unlike the live servers, the experimental servers are there to gather player feedback and help Bohemia Interactive make changes before the content gets over to the live servers. Before its admission, it’s vital to notice how Bohemia Interactive is dealing with all of this, while it’s also dealing with a new product they launched that should haul over a unique Arma experience.

Without further ado, below you can find the complete Patch Notes for 1.18 Experimental Hotfix – Update 3.
