Short summary

This is a small end-of-week SCUM hotfix focused on correcting bugs introduced or exposed by the latest update. The most relevant fixes affect vehicle damage behavior in blocked zones, disappearing quests, collision problems in specific locations, and several UI, visual and base building issues.

What changed

  • Chat messages should now appear below the chat box instead of at the bottom of the screen.
  • Sit interaction prompts should appear correctly on both sides of train seating.
  • Vehicles should no longer take collision damage from vehicles or environmental objects when the related zone settings are set to Block.
  • Apex Research Facility plant collision was corrected, including cases involving bears and character positioning.
  • Invisible collision in the Zelena Milja disco that blocked shooting was fixed.

What it means for players

  • Players using safe or restricted vehicle zones should see behavior that better matches the configured settings.
  • Quest progress should be less confusing because quests accepted at the General Goods Trader should no longer vanish from the journal immediately.
  • Exploration and combat around Apex Research Facility and Zelena Milja should feel less affected by invisible or incorrect collision.
  • First-person players using higher FOV settings should see fewer visual issues with the Gas Lantern.
  • Base builders may notice fewer small foliage problems under placed building elements.

Impact on SCUM.SK

For SCUM.SK readers and server communities, the vehicle collision fix is the key item because it relates directly to zone settings. The article does not announce new server options or balance changes, but it should reduce confusion where configured Block behavior was not being respected.
