DayZ has today launched an update/hotfix for 1.17 on all platforms, so here’s the full list of changes and fixes with this patch. Today’s patch notes are going to work a bit differently to how we normally do things, as the notes between the PC version and the Xbox/PlayStation version are fairly different. As such, the patch notes will showcase that difference. As for what’s included, it’s a hotfix so you should go in expecting nothing too crazy. Just a handful of bug fixes looking to polish up the game if nothing else. Without further adieu, here’s everything new with DayZ in its 1.17 update/hotfix!
