Animation-related mods can be affected by 1.30 changes

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

The 1.30 experimental article warns that the updated animation systems may cause problems with animation-related mods. At the October 15 stable launch, Bohemia says the first follow-up experimental patch is aimed at issues affecting Steam modders, with the all-platform stable patch to follow later. This is a planned fix, not confirmation that it has shipped. [1]

Officially acknowledged

Update 1.30 starts with a full wipe

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

The October 15 DayZ Badlands launch announcement says Update 1.30 includes a full wipe across all platforms. Missing pre-update progress in that rollout therefore has an official wipe context; the announcement does not provide a restore procedure. [1]

Officially acknowledged

Motorbike crashes do not show the rider their own ragdoll

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

The motorbike explanation says a crash renders the rider unconscious, so the rider does not see the ragdoll from their own point of view even though clients see the same character position. This is the described crash presentation, rather than evidence by itself of a missing animation. [1]
