What is the wiping feature?

We've listened to your feedback, and an account wipe option is now live in #GrayZoneWarfare. After wiping, all your progress will reset and the game will shut down smoothly. Upon relaunching, you will go through the character creation and get Edition Content and starter gear again.

Opt for a character wipe to switch factions or to recover from a missing head/secure container bug (Note: This problem might reoccur until we release a proper fix).

This action is irreversible and has a 1 hour cooldown period.

Hotfix 1 is out! April 30

First hotfix of our Early Access is out, here what it entails:

[FIXED] An issue that players would sometimes spawn without heads, clothes, or secure containers

[FIXED] 2 separate issues where the anti-cheat would prevent players from joining a server

[FIXED] 3 separate server crashes

Plus, we've made some tweaks:

[CHANGES] Default antialiasing settings are now set to FSR for graphics cards lacking DLSS Frame generation support.

[CHANGES] Improved antialiasing quality for FSR, focusing on boosting Performance.

Thanks for your feedback and thanks for helping us shape the future of Gray Zone Warfare. More fixes coming soon.

Those are the recent patch notes up through June 13 for Gray Zone Warfare.
