Update 1.3 Info (New)
Update: Vehicle teleport/bugs are NOT fixed, work is being done on this issue each day, update 1.3 will be delayed until the vehicle issues related to multiple passengers are fixed.
This thread will remain closed until the update has been released onto Xbox Live, then I will open it for feedback.
I will be trying to get the update into 'Peer-Review' this month, but it could be rolled back into August. It may be worth another 1 to 2 weeks of waiting for some new content to be polished.
I know it has been some time since the last update, but the time has been well spent getting the source code onto a dedicated server so that more programmers can contribute to future updates. Thank you for your patience and continued support on the game.
1. 'Code 4' when 'max' tents or tent contents is exceeded is fixed. The update will support 8 ( not 7 ) tents and 192 items distributed across those tents. Trying to deploy more than 8 tents, or dropping items into tents that exceeds the maximum of 192, will result in no action and the item remains in your inventory.
2. Old save data format from update 1.1 & 1.2 is not supported anymore and will not be loaded. All save data is hardware encrypted.
3. 'Deploying Tents' message continuously displaying after joining a server or creating one, fixed.
4. Private servers. Other survivors need to be invited to the server by the "Host", if the host leaves the session will migrate to another "Host" and remain private under the host control.
5. Vicinity chat, can only hear other survivors if they are within 100 yards of you. Players in Private or Party chat can hear each other across the map. Example of voice distance, from camera to abandoned truck in red box:

I will be adding more details each day for the next 7 to 10 days, please be patient as code is still being tested before added to this list.

Continuing work on Update 1.3 (9/1/15)
There is currently a bug that will 'Fail' the update from being released, we are working to it fixed, the good news is that we can reproduce this issue so its only a matter of time and narrowing down the offending code path. Once this issue is fixed update 1.3 will be submitted for release.
6. Character saves are fixed. If you customize your character skin and clothes the changes will be saved now and persist from one game session to the next.
7. An issue with tents spawning has been tracked down and fixed, I cant guarantee other code paths wont cause a bug with tents but their stability has increased with this fix.
8. There is new music in the menus, however we cut out one part to keep the game under 150 meg limit.
