My question is, this patch supposdly once again just like .2.3 went under "closed" testing, how come these MAJOR issues such as the graphics glitches and tents STILL not working not be reported, the patch delayed and those fixed? It seems like "closed" testing doesn't mean much and yes yes I know WE ARE THE TESTERS blah blah BUT if they do a closed test on a patch before release all the major game breaking bugs should be ironed out before it's released. So just what exactly is this closed testing? Because it sure doesn't seem to be fixing any bugs, just causing more.

I've noticed if I place a bear trap, logout wait a few minutes and come back on the server they have despawned. Not sure if that's how they are intended to work or not but seems once you logout after a certain amount of time (or right away) they disappear =\.

As long as it's AFTER combat and not DURING combat I don't see why not, and as long as it's not to avoid zombie aggro.

yeah the whole duping items that inside of tents that dupe is becoming a pain to deal with, have to keep packing up the extra tents that spawn up and let the stuff inside of them just disappear eventually, but does no good once server is restarted back to square one, rinse and repeat. I've heard the staff on here are getting upset at people "duping" items with tents, well kinda hard when you can't help it, same goes for any vehicle, kinda glad for that bug for once because I put a FN-FAL with NV scope and the M249 that I found at a heli crash in a tent, saved it several times and it was gone next restart but was back in my ATV. Surprised this wasn't fixed in 1.7.2.4 I thought it would be with the whole ID thing being fixed but if you're confirming they are still duping on 1.7.2.4 than I fail to see WHY such a major bug hasn't been fixed yet? I mean I know rocket has to be aware of it, because the staff on here have even reported that they know of the issue.

Working good so far for me, no loading problems at all loaded right in on a server running it, will see how tents do when server restarts if it saves correctly or not. Loving the new DAYZ logo and loading screen. Looks awesome.

rocket keep up the good work. Don't make it easy for us either ;). I'm loving the new weapon damage and it REALLY makes you think and be careful about your aiming and your actions. Love the list of new features so far, and I know you've got more you haven't listed yet as I'm sure you've already taken a look at most/all of the major bug reports so far, so not going to repeat anything here and will report any new bugs in the "released" thread. Thanks for your awesome mod.

You have my beans good sir. Thank you. Was wondering why my ATV magically had 4 extra wheel repair sections on it and now I know, and can ignore the extras.

<-------- See my Avatar to the left please.

ROCKET: Just wondering if the ATV is suppose to have so many wheels or what? I think it has about 8 wheels total in the "repair wheel blahblah" menu and not sure where all those extra wheels are going but was wondering if that's just a bug with the ATV or is it suppose to have that many wheels? Never known any ATV to have more than 4 wheels on it.

Was wondering the same and found this handy dandy little tip for printing it out using Paint for multiple sheets: http://scottiestech.info/2009/08/08/how-to-easily-print-a-large-image-to-multiple-pages-in-windows/

So last week I went out on my ATV for a little ride to spot heli crash spots, well came back to my base, parked it nice and hidden (yeah yeah I know) and saved it a couple of times, next day login before the server restart it's still there, log off cause server is restarting and after server restart it was gone, which made me a a bit :( but life goes on. So today after the daily server restart I go up to the top of a hill near my base to do some scouting before heading out and I look to my left and lo and behold there is an ATV, I thought this can't be mine...I open up the gear for the ATV and yup it's mine. same gear it had when I last saved it, but it was a good 200m away from where I saved it at. So yeah, apparently my ATV got home sick and came back. I'm still missing a UAZ though :(. So if your vehicle disappears after a server restart check around where you last saved it after each restart, who knows it just might come back home. Kind of messed up but hopefully these magical vehicles get fixed sometime.

Beartraps seem to currently have an issue where if set and activated if you logout they will disappear. I've had this happen twice now, and for an item that's semi-rare as it is, losing them when set upon logout kinda sucks, especially if you're using as part of like a camp defense system or something. Possible fix in upcoming patch?

Well you should know who you are and where it was at, there was an ATV and some tents, you took my ATV for a joy ride and left it near the road, could have at least been kind enough to bring it back to the camp. I noticed you setup a tent near my camp, I don't mind and even left you some gifts in another tent next to yours as a show of how nice I am and that I'm willing to share with you. Just be kind in return and if you use the ATV, bring it back. I hate having to hunt that thing down and it's bad enough the server restarts cause it to magically disappear at times. I've got enough gear and supplies to go around so I'm willing to share. If you want to get in contact with me via PM on here that's fine.

ROCKET: I know the main page doesn't have everything being fixed listed yet, but I haven't gotten done reading all the pages in this thread but will we be seeing a fix for the "soandso was killed" upon logging into the server (you get "killed" immeditly upon login) get sent to debug plains, hit abort -> lobby -> ok -> respawn on beach at closest spawn point to where you were at with all gear and stats? It's not like you're killed by a player but rather, you just die somehow upon login but it's not recorded as an actual death. I mean hey I don't mind visiting the beach but at least send me there when I'm actually killed by zeds/another player lol.

Master GameSpy servers are down it appears, some servers for some odd reason will load just fine but I wouldn't count on them saving your progress right now until this whole thing is ironed out. Go download the 1.62 patch from the main arma2 website while you're waiting for the servers to come back up and enjoy your new video options! ooooo ahhhhhhh.

This happened last night too around the same time, give it a couple hours and MAYBE we'll be back to normal. All 3 servers (I play on 1 main one, the other 2 are "back ups" in case my main home server is down) are down completely due to this, so hang tight. This is the first time it's happened (well besides yesterday) that anyone knows of since they started playing, so we have no idea what's going on and no official word has been posted either.

Logged onto my main home server after all the goofiness tonight with the "down for maintenance" crap that went on, only to find no tents and my ATV gone. Wondering if this has happened to anyone else SINCE the "down for maintenance" went on or if it's just the server being goofy (and all will be good next server restart) as a tent wipe without us knowing would SUCK big time.

I've had it happen with a range of weapons with full health, full food/water and no shock symbols or "pain" indicators. Just an annoying scream every time I shoot with some weapons, and yeah the zeds do yelp sometimes when hit. It's annoying though when my guy screams when I shoot cause I'm thinking "oh crap someone is shooting at me/a zed is behind me!" but nope turns out my guy just seems to be a big sissy every time he fires the gun. I would LOVE for this to be fixed cause it can really make you panic when it happens.

The main servers I play on are down, including my "home" server, that's 3 servers total. Not sure why, they don't show up in the server list you posted above either *sigh*, although I already know their IP I still can't connect.

They came back for all of 1-2 minutes and now down again. Got into my main server.... [===========] Loading ..... Must be another bad battleye install from the latest beta patch let me just reinstall battleye...ok that's done now to rejoin! "Down for maintenance" FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU >:(

Tried, on several servers. Doesn't work for me at least. Gamespy isn't even returning a list of any servers online at the moment, it's showing them all gone, and I watched the master server list as the servers went "offline" one by one.

I watched on the gamespy master server list as the servers one by one went offline <_< and now no servers are being returned through the gamespy master server. Wonder what's going on :huh: .

Ouch, yeah I feel your pain. I thought my ATV was stolen too but none of the tents in camp were touched at all with some "high value" stuff in 2 tents but I didn't want to rule it out as being stolen, but just odd it reappeared with full inventory that it had just...out of place by about 200m or so. I so hope the vehicles get fixed because now I'm afraid to take it out on another ride lol.

So uh, will we see a fix for the temperature? Currently it always stays at 42C unless it's raining and then it will drop down or you're swimming, but according to the variables.sqf file in dayz_code.pbo the normal should be 36, so why are we constantly at 42C? I thought there was a mention somewhere that this was fixed in a previous version?

Did you not even bother to read my post above? It shows the COMPLETE loot table for 1.7.2.3 for ALL types of buildings and heli crashes, the skins are called camo1 and sniper1, do you see them in any of the loot tables? No. They've been taken out due to bugs currently with them. IF you do find any, most likely either a player dropped it or it was hacked in. The only way to have them right now is if you had them PRE 1.7.2.1.
