I have also encountered 3 cases of invisible players where i could confirm they were invisible, tags shown but no player and shooting coming from there. also one time someone became visible as soon as they swung their hatchet at me... and that person wasn't wearing a ghillie suit. i have also seen people in ghillie suits so i'm not sure it is related.

I think this issue highlights one of the bigger issues with dayZ, and that is the complete inability to enforce "the spirit of the game". In the actual "spirit of the game" a person would never use team-speak. They would only use in game chat for communication. They also would never disconnect in battle to avoid being shot or to get the upper hand over other players. this person would never server hop or abuse glitches like invisibility of item duping to get the upper hand over other players. unfortunately, the player i just described is taking a massive disadvantage over pretty much everyone else playing the game. I have always tried to play the game "fair" as much as i can... i never disconnect to avoid being shot or to lose zombies. i never server hop. i try to use in game chat and i don't exploit glitches... these things get you killed most of the time. In dayZ it is reaching the point where playing "fair" is synonymous to playing stupid...

Ok... first error. Flares do not appear to be working. you cannot select them in firemodes anymore, and therefore cant throw them. other throwables like smoke grenades work fine. second error... Flashlight wont turn on. i have equipped it and hit L countless times and no change. third error... possibly related to the second- my character is completely invisible. the sound and vision indicators show no activity no matter what i do. zombies don't see me when i'm running circles around them. i don't know if other players can see me. fourth error... my progress from before the update is never saved. i logged off before the update in a shack in elektro and every time i log into another server, no matter what i do i end up in that same shack with the same items i used to have. if anyone has any solutions to any of these problems that would be nice.

Six-updater wasn't properly initializing the beta, that was the issue. all issues fixed! Thanks Rocket! ...and while alt tabbing out to type that the newly VERY aware of my presence zombies chomped me. hahaha, well its good to be playing properly again.
