i think its impossible. roll back is only possible through manual install

the weather conditions might be slightly different from server to server even if its daytime on both. sometimes there is just a slight more fog in a far distance and normally you dont recognize it. only if you focus a very far object like your tree. i cant be sure about the lag issue of course, i was just guessing. maybe not the server was laggy but you? and if only for a short period of time? or your friend was laggy? yesterday i tried to shoot a cow ingame, shot it 6-8 times but nothing happened, the cow was still alive. then about 30 or 40 seconds later the cow was laying dead on the ground about 200m away from the location i shot it. the reason was that my girlfriend was surfing the internet at that time over the same wireless connection like i played (i have a pretty weak connection though). so lag might be a reason for npc's or players "hopping" and "jumping" around instantlly from one location to another.

but that wasnt the original issue discussed in this thread. most people complain about zeds aggroing over too far distances, which is not a bug, but caused by the new visibility system. you are the only one with the hill issue, i didnt experience it myself. so my quote didnt say it all ;)

did anyone read my post? i dont think that it is a bug that zombies sometimes aggro over pretty far distances of up to 50 or even 100m, it just has to do with the new visibility system. maybe it doesnt work 100% properly yet when zombies aggro through objects or hills but as far as i experienced it, it is quite ok now. zombies are just a good deal more challenging now. during 1.7.1.5 they were not dangerous at all because you were able to approach them up to 5m distance by just crouching and it didnt really matter if it was deep night or light sunshine.

you have to refresh the page after you finished editing your post.

1. dmr of your list. but in my oppinion m107 or as50 are better but they are rare. 2. it always says friendly fire when a survivor kills another survivor and the server has these messages activated. i guess only if a survivor kills a bandit or the other way round it isnt counted as friendly fire. there is no system to create groups in dayz. i suggest you form groups with some reallife friends these are the only people i trust in dayz ;) 3. silent rifles have a silencer. ;) there are quite some differences between rifles without silencers. winchester is quite silent yes, aswell as ak for example. lee enfield is pretty loud. i think you can find some exact values for that in a dayz wiki

sounds like there must be a camp around pobeda dam on us200... :P

so you were on two different servers? maybe the server where you were waiting for a friend was laggy and thats why your friend "popped" up infront of you and the zeds also didnt spawn properly because of lag? had this issue also several times if the server was very laggy. and maybe the 1.7.1.5 server had different weather conditions with less fog or something and thats why you were able to see farther?

I can add that sometimes walking or running over a rock will get your legs broken and make you bleed... better avoid all obstacles to be sure ;)

for me the new zombie behaviour is comprehensible and ok so far. it depends heavily on your "visibility factor" now as i recognized. at night it changes between 10 and 30 depending on crawling or running. then i was able to run past a group of zeds in a distance of about 20 or 30m and they didnt aggro. when i was running over an open field during sunlight my visibility factor was about 160-170. then the zeds sometimes aggroed from 50-100m distance, but only when they faced into my direction. need more testing of course to be sure.

same here... found L85 yesterday at crash site for the first time after updating to 1.7.2 and 94444 beta. I saw the L85 laying on the ground, but when I approached it, while wearing nvg's, my view got darker and darker untill I almost saw nothing. picking it up via "take L85A2..." didnt work. when i tried to pick it up via "gear" there was an empty slot in the inventory list with a "1" infront of it displayed but there was no weapon icon and no name for the gun displayed. I've read elsewhere that the L85 was patched out with 1.7.2 is that confirmed? then i guess it was patched out so that you cannot use it anymore because it will not be displayed in inventory but it is still in the database of weapons which can spawn at a crash site.

same here... tried manual install and six updater

there are already some threads concerning this. it happened to me twice already. these 2 times i logged off somewhere near novy sobor and was teleported somewhere near nw airfield into a treetop. the first time i died instantly after falling to the ground. the second time i broke my leg too and went unconscious. i managed to crawl into airfield barracks to search for morphine but then i was insta killed by a door xD

currently the hive (central database server) is down or under ddos attack, thats why you only get "waiting for character to create" - you cant receive your character info from database. that was the case since about 10 hours today and still there seems to be no solution for this yet. all we can do is wait and check the announcements section in these forums.

some servers seem to work very well (able to connect every single try within seconds) while on others it takes ages to "create character"

ill ask my question again, because nobody answered yet: may the new server signup and ticket system the reason why many servers available yesterday dont show up in the serverlist at the moment? or has it to do with this ddos attack?

short question: that about half of the servers which were available yesterday dont show up in the serverlist has to do with the new server signup system?

Date/Time: 06-24, about 11 pm middle european time What happened: corpse of a killed survivor disappeared instantly after he died Where you were: nw airfield What you were doing: looting barracks *Current installed version: 1.7.1.5 *Timeline of events before/after error: i was looting in nw airfield barracks and suddenly surprised another looter. he had some decent equipment like coyote backpack and m4a3 cco. i killed him with 4-5 shots of my g17 in his head - he died instantly but in the same second when i hit the ground he was dragged down into the ground (just like an animal disappears after its meat was looted or like a zombie corpse disappears after you klick "hide body). so i wasnt able to loot his corpse at all. sadly i dont remember his name and the server i was on.

how did you switch from bizon to kobra exactly? 1. bizon equipped in primary slot and then "replaced" it with kobra by clicking it directly out of your backpack to the primary slot? 2. first putting bizon from primary slot into backpack and THEN taking out kobra from backpack to primary slot? (if there is enough space in your backpack left, of course) 3. putting bizon to the ground, then taking kobra out of backpack to primary slot, then pick up bizon from the ground into the backpack? method 3 should be safe and work everytime. method 2 works also well, but only if you have enough space in your backpack. if you did it like i described in method 1 it CAN happen that the weapon equipped in your primary slot, which is "replaced" by another primary weapon out of your backpack, will just disappear.

is it possible that server administrators can trace vehicle locations trough database information? then some admins might abuse these information to complete their personal vehicle collection?

i can confirm this too. we had put up 2 tents really close to each other and parked a bicycle nearby on a small slope. it was the first time we encountered that its not a good idea to park vehicles in locations which are not plain, because otherwise they will get buggy and hopping downwards the hill sometimes until they stop when they arrive a plain. over night the bicycle was hopping down the hill exactly trough our 2 tents and crushed them. tents gone - loot gone. but after the next server restart the 2 tents were up again, still no stuff in them but usable. i paked them and put them in a car. after next server restart 2 new tents were up again in the exact positions where i packed them before. but then they were not packable anymore..
