This is the thread for patch updates. Lets keep it that way. Posting crap like this doesn't help anything your requesting be fixed. Now onto way more important issues. Tents are still not working correctly. They seem to be working just the same as they were in the prior patch. They will either continually dupe items on every server reset or they will just wipe the tent completely. I have also noticed some tents that I have placed in 1.7.2.3 have disappeared now in 1.7.2.4. There is also seems to be tents placed right on top of other tents that I had placed in 1.7.2.3. They have the same contents but their position was off slightly.

Sounds like you were server hoping the barracks to me. No sympathy.

So, i Sign in today to launch dayz and it tells me that it cannot open weapons_pbo and It wont launch the game. I look over and arma and arma 2 had sizable updates through stream. Cant launch the game. Please help.

Yes it works now. All i did was run it through steam like you suggested. Thank you guys soooo much for your quick fix!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have my beans sirs.

Thanks for the help!! I will try those and let you know. THANK YOOUUU

please stop

Here is to all you clans/admins who think they are safe in their camps and "hiding places" You must understand people like us, and there are alot of them out there. Thrive on finding base camps and clan HQs. We are going to take all of your stuff, including vehicles. Iam sorry that is just a part of the game. I cant count how many times we have completely wiped out a camp stolen everything and what a coincidence the server is no longer even listed and is down for days at a time. Iam not going to mention any specific servers this time to try and protect their privacy but heres what will happen if you steal something from the Admins Clan. They will frantically reset the server a few times in a row. They will turn it from 10am to 9pm to make the server dark on your and to limit overall server population so that they will have a better chance of finding their lost vehicles. Now I have started to notice you admins taking the server down for extended periods of time. SO all of a sudden a constant server that has been consistent for days at a time is all of a sudden offline and not even found in the server list. I just wish admins didn't have the power to take down their servers when they wanted to try and roll back their vehicles to their last save location. Yes yes its their server they pay for it, So i guess that allows them to use bitch tactics to get their stuff back. Most of the time we just blow them up and drive them into cherno and leave them there so that Others may try and repair them. Other times we put them to use (your Blue Ural and 2 White trucks) for example. People taking other player's stuff is going to happen. If you cannot deal with it I suggest you choose another game that is more suited for babies and children. To all the admins who practice this behavior, we are coming for you next. To all those Admins who ACTUALLY play legit, I salute you. ALot of people dont realize it costs like 100 a month to run and operate these servers that most of us dont stop to think someone is paying for that. PS If the server doesn't come back up ill post what server and clan this was so that the Dayz community can be sure to avoid that server, if they want a clean game experience. Thanks again to the Admins who are not exploiting, you are awesome and I enjoy playing on your servers.

People we need to ban together and stop abuse like this. Please post any reports of hacking or abuse and note what server it was on. We have to do our part. Let me clarify, I am not saying ALL admins are abusing their powers. That is simply not true at all. I have played on many very good servers where I never thought for a second anything was going on. The vast majority of server owners are doing so legitimately, please remember that these people are using small donations and in most cases money on from their own pockets to keep the server running. We do appreciate it and I want to personally thank you guys for hosting. Just report any suspicious activity on the forums and hopefully we can sort it out that way. Its just bitchmode to abuse your server admin power and I KNOW that there are clans/admins doing just that. The specific clan/server I am speaking about even was using other exploits to ensure the safety of their vehicles. Duping Tents to use as physical barriers...... Woops the cat might be out of the bag now!

I wish this thread was filled with bugs and reports of the current patch, not 70 pages of people quoting each other trying to get the last word in to feel important. Please remember why we are here.

All i see is hackers. You cant go on a populated server w/o having jets napalm you or crazy vehicles spawn. Got turned into a rabbit once. True story

this++. I have also experienced this exact same bug. Please fix. Build = 1.7.2.3 Patch = 94876

Not true, unused vehicles despawn back to their spawn locations after a period of time

Yes, they can see your tents and where you park your vehicles unfortunately. Move on, try a new server. Until they really start to care about security in this mod the problem is going to persist.

I think I laughed for a few minutes straight.

Thank you for the post, i cannot screenshot in Arma 2. Ive been told I need to fraps to get screens

Something had to of changed in the loot spawning. Ive been on multiple servers ( all of which nearly full pop, 40/40, 75/75 ect) I am just not spawning loot. I give the server 30 mins each time. I run around Electro nothing is spawning in any buildings I enter. Entire stores empty which is abnormal. I have had this happen before but not to this extent. Entire cities with nothing. Also chatting with other weaponless players in the area they are noticing the same thing I have. I know your supposedly not spawning loot for the first like 15-20 mins on a server but this is just ridic. Has anyone else noticed the same thing?

Ya dont Install the latest arma2 beta patch. It wont let you connect you will get stuck at "waiting for host" Makes one wonder.... How are we gaining any progress with this mod? Every time an update comes out, everyone is running different beta patch versions. How are you supposed to accurately squash bugs when you have 100,000 most of which are all using different server versions of the game combined with different arma 2 beta patches. Ill wager the vast majority of the bugs that are produced is because the client/server versions don't match. Then the dev team has to spend valuable time to go in and hunt for these bugs (not fun trust me) that may only happen when the server and client versions don't match or with specific combos of server client versions.

I seem to be getting nothing but "Waiting for Host" after updating to the latest arma 2 beta patch. Happens everyserver

I was reporting on the current state of the melee weapons in the new patch. Stop using this forum as an excuse to troll people. There are a million other forums for that. You commenting on my comment guess what? "has nothing to do with the patch... at all. Like, not even close." Me commenting on your comment has the same effect. See how dumb people just ruin every attempt at any progress?

Melee needs changed, I just surprised a dude with an M4 in ELectro in the church with a hatchet. He was dumb and had no idea I was there. He shows me his back after he enters not even checking his sides, So i go right behind him Whack(nothing),, Whack(nothing) he turns around.... Whack(nothing).. now he starts to shoot and Im dead. You need to look into the hit box or radius on the hatchet because I was right ontop of him swinging multiple times. I should be rewarded for getting the drop on someone not punished. thanks.

OK so a new update on my status. I was having fun running around Cherno and Ele testing out the new patch. Everything seems to be working fine. I had my character wiped because of this but I did not care I wanted to test the new content. After about 3 deaths I re spawned where I had logged out before I updated to the patch. Wayyyy back up north. Keep in mind this is AFTER having ran around the starter towns for about an hour or so, then after a death I re spawn to my position I should have been in before the wipe. Please look into the cause for this. Still having rollbacks I guess? I had no switched servers either this was on the same server

Iam in a server and it appears stable. Running Great you can notice the frame increase. Even with a full server load time was fast as lightning. Character got wiped though. Its ok its only like the 100th time. Excited to test the new content in Cherno and Ele. Will post more later.

I cant play on a server without people hacking. Its way to widespread when the people streaming are even getting attacked by "hackers". It was fine the first few times you killed one of them and they had everything and then continued to spawn on your until they finally killed you. It was cool having all that gear for like 4 mins. Easy come easy go. But for the 4-5 time getting bombed by a jet in the middle of nowhere its getting kind of old. You need to take care of this. In my opinion this is cause for great concern. How are we to test the actual game when we have to deal with constant "hackers" either spawning ontop of us or just killing the entire server. I know some people who got banned for just spawning weapons a time or 2, yet how are these other people allowed to continue spawning stuff that isn't in the dayz database? Please address the "hacking" issue it is out of control when you cant find a server that has 100% legit players.

They can see your gear. They know your position on the map and they kill you to try and piss you off. You must not get very kitted up at all. I would assume you run in cherno and ele and just die time after time but there are players who get very kitted up and go north to survive. We are trying to stay alive as long as possible. They know that and they either spawn on you and kill you or they fly around in a jet and napalm (US 64(NY6)) happened less than 30 mins ago. Tanks in cherno? I sincerely do not believe that you have been playing for months and haven't seen one hacker. Your either a hacker yourself or your trolling. So Ill just dismiss your input.

Ya seems to be going down again. Another attack?
