Gray Zone Warfare Hotfix 2: Fixed game crashes, character wiping added, and more

Gray Zone Warfare has received Hotfix 2 in a new update. Despite the game being in an early access stage, it suffers a list of different issues that can degrade the overall gameplay experience.

Gray Zone Warfare Hotfix 2 details and changes

The Gray Zone Warfare Hotfix 2 patch notes are quite short and entail only a single fix for the tactical shooter. The official X page of GZW created a post and highlighted the most recent update for the game where the devs deployed a patch that fixed several Graphics Card (GPU) related crashes.

While the root cause has not been disclosed, these issues might have been a result of the game’s incompatibility with certain hardware or drivers.

The devs also included a note about a massive change that would allow players to completely wipe their characters and start fresh. This will allow the community to go back to the start of the game and play it from scratch with new choices in terms of faction selection or even character models. However, the developers have also instilled a few limitations on this new feature to avoid potential misuse of wiping.

The new wiping feature has also been officially recommended to combat the missing head or secure container bug till the devs can deploy a permanent fix for it.

Wiping is a brand-new feature in GZW that will allow players to start the game from the beginning. However, you can only wipe your character if it is at least an hour old. This is also an irreversible step so you should be wary of your progression and if you want to change your path in the game. Once wiped, the game will automatically shut down and you can relaunch it for a fresh start.

All your progress, quests, and loot will be reset after this step. You will be able to create a new character and choose a new faction similar to the start of the game. You will receive the beginner gear once again alongside any edition bonus rewards for your account.
