DayZ players, Bohemia Interactive has released a new DayZ update to 1.06 that should fix crashes and other bugs. Console players will see this as DayZ update 1.09, and the console and PC versions have different notes on some cases which you can read below.
DayZ update 1.09 patch notes:
General (all platforms):
The new Update 1.06 introduces the long-awaited Bear and brings fishing into the game. New weapons were added, like the Vaiga and BK-43 shotguns, the Blaze rifle, and the Kolt 1911.
We also implemented White-Listing, meaning that server owners will have control over who plays on their server using the add/remove functionality.
Console players are getting new tools, as we are enabling the mouse and keyboard support on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Anyone who owns the Livonia DLC, will be able to freely switch between Chernarus and Livonia servers, with the same character.
PS4 and Xbox One:
1.06 Patch 3 (14.01.2020)
