Gray Zone Warfare Hotfix 3 is now live. The developer advises players to exit the game and restart Steam, and encourages players to tell their other squad members to update to ensure everything works as intended. The hotfix takes care of issues such as crashing, unintentionally canceling matchmaking, and player characters’ heads and clothing disappearing after rejoining servers. Fans are excited to continue playing, and many gamers have complimented the team on its responsiveness. There are ways to fix some crashes and lag in Gray Zone Warfare, but fans may need to count on the developer to handle more issues as early access continues.
As more issues with bugs and overall stability have been uncovered, ratings on Steam have shifted to “Mixed,” though many players appear to be happy with the game’s overall content, citing the bugs as the main problem. Although there are fixes for several of the issues, some people are encountering an unfortunately common Gray Zone Warfare network error (0x00030004) that has some potential fixes but may ultimately need to be tackled by the developers at Madfinger.
Many gamers have also experienced issues with excessive CPU usage, and the fix for that may depend on the specific system being used, while using the best Gray Zone Warfare performance settings possible may improve problems with game optimization that some players are reporting. Nevertheless, fans are looking forward to playing more stable versions of Gray Zone Warfare despite the problems some have encountered with the game, and Hotfix 3 is another step in that direction.
