DayZ is getting hotfixes across all platforms to address issues caused by Update 1.19

On Wednesday, Bohemia Interactive announced that DayZ is due to get hotfixes that are queued to fix issues caused by update 1.19. As the title says, the hotfixes will be available on all platforms, and the server maintenance will undergo at 14:00 CEST (Console), and 15:00 CEST (PC).
