SCUM Novinky

Although we have been a bit silent over the past couple of weeks, we were very much active behind the scenes, and the team was working hard to deliver something that will improve the overall experience of SCUM.

Without further ado, let's see what the team's been cooking and what they've got in store for you:


Almost all aspects of the game will receive at least some type of improvement or fix. Everything from base building tweaks, weapon fixes, admin command adjustments, graphical fixes, new server settings... you name it!

While a lot of cool new tweaks and improvements are coming, we acknowledge that we're missing some shiny new features that are the main source of excitement. Rest assured, we're working on those as well and we'll have one in a few months. In the meantime, we will be releasing smaller patches on a monthly basis such as the one we'll have next week.


We are also announcing that along with the patch, we will also conduct a partial wipe of all official servers, which will take place on the same day - the 19th of March.

We wanted to give the community enough time to make the necessary preparations, as you will be able to sell all your stock for gold, which you will then be able to use again to repurchase some of the stock that you owned.

To point it out just in case one more time - gold will NOT be wiped and you will be able to claim it after the wipe.

While unpopular to some, wipes are a necessity to keep servers running properly as they remove clutter such as unused bases and items from players who are no longer actively playing. They also make the servers fair and competitive for new players as everyone starts from the same position.

That being said, make sure to go out in a blaze of glory and paint the Island red before all your gear gets wiped!

As always, partial wipes will NOT be enforced on private servers, although we encourage server owners to do the same for the same reasons listed above.

_______________________________


We are aware of the radio silence from our side when it comes to the recent news of the Splash Damage acquisition and just wanted to use this opportunity to briefly refer to this.

There are a lot of moving parts and background processes happening right now. Lots of meetings on all sorts of topics are taking place, people and teams are getting to know each other, and there's all sorts of planning and decision-making that need to be conducted in order to create a crystal clear picture of our way forward.

Because we don't have all the information yet, we have decided to wait before making any official statements. As you're very much aware, things always tend to change if they are not locked in and we want to avoid coming out with anything that is not set in stone. The last thing everybody needs is additional confusion, and clarity and a clear picture are what the community needs most at this point.

That is why we'd like to kindly ask you for a bit of your patience on this matter. There's no need for any type of concern as we're still working on the game as you can see with the patch announcement, and we'll shed more light on this as soon as possible!

Thank you all and see you on the Island!

As anyone who's a had a bad run-in with cheaters can attest, their impact on the overall experience of the game could be devastating - especially in a game that is as hardcore as SCUM.

Combating this is no small feat, and with PlaySafe ID, we are slowly gaining the necessary edge we need to start meaningfully fight back against cheaters.

Two months ago, we've started to introduce PlaySafe ID to a handful of servers, and the results that we have show promise:



We've been quite pleased with the response that we've received, and we've seen a steady increase of interest for PlaySafe ID signups as players report significantly fewer issues with cheaters on servers. We're happy to see this collaboration going forward and because of this, we've decided to expand the number of servers that utilize PlaySafe ID which you can see in the list below:

• 195.181.170.67:13058 - SCUM Server Official PlaysafeID #2 – Europe
  
• 195.181.170.67:13186 - SCUM Server Official PlaysafeID #3 - Europe
  
• 195.181.170.67:13314 - SCUM Server Official PlaysafeID #4 - Europe
  
• 98.142.3.91:20002 - SCUM Server Official PlaysafeID #2 – US East
  
• 98.142.3.91:20102 - SCUM Server Official PlaysafeID #3 - US East
  
• 172.240.69.131:20002 - SCUM Server Official PlaysafeID #2 – US West
  
• 172.240.69.131:20102 - SCUM Server Official PlaysafeID #3 - US West
  
• 170.23.43.245:20002 - SCUM Server Official PlaysafeID #1 – US Central
  
• 170.23.43.245:20102 - SCUM Server Official PlaysafeID #2 - US Central
  
• 78.111.102.152:20002 - SCUM Server Official PlaysafeID #1 – South America
  
• 80.240.101.101:20002 - SCUM Server Official PlaysafeID #1 - South Africa
  
• 80.240.101.101:20102 - SCUM Server Official PlaysafeID #2 - South Africa
  
• 188.42.122.156:20002 - SCUM Server Official PlaysafeID #1 – Singapore
  
• 188.42.122.156:20102 - SCUM Server Official PlaysafeID #2 - Singapore
  
• 79.127.249.94:8194 - SCUM Server Official PlaysafeID #1 – Russia
  
• 79.127.249.94:8322 - SCUM Server Official PlaysafeID #2 - Russia
  
• 78.111.102.152:20012 - SCUM Server Official PlaysafeID #1 – Brazil
  
• 78.111.102.152:20102 - SCUM Server Official PlaysafeID #2 - Brazil
  
• 51.161.198.209:20002 - SCUM Server Official PlaysafeID #1 - Australia
  
• 51.161.198.209:20102 - SCUM Server Official PlaysafeID #2 - Australia

Make no mistake, we're very much aware of the concerns that you have voiced with regards to signing up for PlaySafe ID. That is why we'd like to emphasize once more that:

• PlaySafe ID signup is completely optional. You do not need it to play SCUM.
  
• It will NOT be enforced and utilized on existing servers.

If you have additional questions or would like to learn more about PlaySafe ID, you can watch our Q&A session on our YouTube channel:
