Make that 1,133,258 players as I haven't really played since 1.7.0. I don't like the design changes made so far and I see no intention of rolling back those changes. So I will stand by and wait to see what develops. I didn't mind the bugs since it is alpha.

I was crawling while prone and a Z spotted me from 10 meters through a picket fence and attacked me. Take the Z aggro back to 1.7.0.

I hear the clicks when using the menu, I hear the sounds when adjusting the volume and I hear the ocean roar when "Loading" but no sound in-game. This is new with 1.7.2.3 and patch 94876. Seems this "alpha" is regressing to the point of being unplayable.

Zombiw spawned within 3 meters of me, attacked me from behind.

I found 1.7.0 fun. I don't think 1.7.2 is. You should have made 1.7.0 better as far as fixing bugs, but changing zombie hearing/seeing behavior and starting with no weapons ruined it for me.

So roughly 1 Kilometer in 3 minutes running upright and almost 4 minutes running crouched.

Really stupid death! I picked up a smoke grenade for the first time and somehow managed to throw it while in a small shack. I died from a million zombies who all came running to me.

Don't know, can't get past the barbed wire.

I like the ability to run and hide, the inability for zombies to see and hit through walls. These changes were good and the bugs being fixed was great. But, no weapon at start, barbed wire blocking access to buildings, zombies seeing and hearing too far, crawlers running for no reason, it all adds up to no fun. Take zombies back to level 1.7.0 as far as seeing and hearing and give us weapons at start and I'll play again. I loved 1.7.0 even with the bugs but 1.7.1.5 isn't fun.

Zombies still hear/see too well for my liking. I spend way too much time prone and stopping in cities, it gets tedious.

I know it's an Alpha but I will not test the 1.7.1 patch because it is not fun. Revise it a little and fix the bugs and I will start "testing" again.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Thanks for the reply.

Most times when I am prone and try to loot, my character stands up, but once in a while he stays prone. Is there a reason for this? I think I am on the same server in both instances.

It's 93701 now. The latest beta patch is the one at the very top of the page.

Ok, I uninstalled both ARMA2 and OP Arrowhead. Then re-installed them, applied the 1.60 patch, applied the 93701 patch which went smoothly and am able to play dayz. Thanks for the advice.
