If we are supposed to REALLY alpa test this game, then the console should be available at all times. Everybody should be allowed to spawn/despawn items and zombies, alter blood/food/water values, add/remove pain/shock/broken bones, teleport to any place, and so on. ATM, if i would like to test e.g. the tents, and make a complete bug report on them and suggestions for improvements, then i'll have to walk around for hours and hours trying to avoid bandits and zombies, looking for food and bandage and morphine and so on, until i (barely alive) finally find a tent... Only then can i go into the forest and try to place the tent. And when trying to place the tent (it takes hours just to find a suitable spot) then i'll probably be killed by another player.... This is a complete waste of time! If you REALLY want people to test the game, then give everyone full admin rights. That way i can spawn, teleport to a suitable place, spawn a tent, ... place it ... spawn another and so on, and use my time to actually test absolutely everything about how tents work and then give suggestions about them. Right now i don't even know if tents can overlap (which would be a bug) because finding TWO tents and being able to take them to a place for testing is just impossible. I would have to search for days, and then i would get "session lost" and have to start over... So, do you want the players to (1) TEST the game or (2) PLAY the game? If (1) - give us console with full access to everything. If (2) - then fix the bugs so it becomes playable. Anything else is a waste of time and makes no sense whatsoever.

So what distance is that? less than arm's length? Example: Yesterday i was in a military tent in Stary and a zombie spawned right beside me, inside the tent.

I have installed the latest client (1.7.2) but when connecting to SE3 it says "wrong version". It seems SE3 has version 1.7.2.1????? - There is nothing on the forums, no announcement about 1.7.2.1. - The SE and US mirrors have version 1.7.2 available for download. - The UK mirror has old files (a month old!) - The FR mirror is down. Apart from this, there is also the problem with inconsistent versioning system: After 1.7.2 there should be 1.7.3, not 1.7.2.1. If it was named 1.7.2.0 then 1.7.2.1 would be appropriate. This confusion also makes it impossible to filter correctly in the server list, because when searching for 1.7.2 you also get 1.7.2.1 (and possibly 1.7.2.1.3.4.1.whatever in the future).

I did search for it, was looking in the announcement section and lots of other places. The thread about 1.7.2.1 did not exist at that time. Yes, i see now that the timestamp is 20 minutes before my post, but nonetheless it did not show up when i searched for it at around 02:00 am (forum time)...

No, that's absolutely not the case. 1. Servers that has been running 1.7.2 was working perfectly, now some of them are upgraded to 1.7.2.1 and does not work with the 1.7.2 client anymore. 2. Server names says 1.7.2.1 and when loading and in game, it says something like "You are running 1.7.2 and the server is running 1.7.2.1, update your client". So it is not simply the server name which is wrong. Sometimes it says that "days_code" is the wrong version.

The screen fades to black and it says i should go to dayzmod.ocm/download to get version 1.7.2.1, but no such version exists... :( What to do now??

If you press escape, abort, disconnect then your body will still be there. If you press alt-f4 then your body and backpack is removed immediately. Some ppl do that to prevent others from taking their equipment, just so that their killer can't profit from the kill...

I have the same problem, i look like a murder just because i defended myself. I don't think you can do anything about it, not yet. Maybe in the next version... The bodies probably disappeared because they alt-f4'd....

SE3 is the server i was trying to connect to. The error message which sits in the middle on the screen all the time says that i have an old version of dayz_code and need to upgrade to 1.7.2.1. Which is obviously impossible... Something wrong with the server hotfix then?

Date/Time: 2012-07-02 23:30 GMT+2 What happened: Suddenly my backpack was gone. Where you were: Cherno What you were doing: Looting. Had recently changed from civilian clothes to ghillie suit. *Current installed version: Latest *Server(s) you were on: Dont know *Your system specs: not relevant *Timeline of events before/after error: Found a suit, changed clothes, continued looting, found some good stuff and pressed G and saw that mypack was gone. Not sure if it is related to the change to ghillie suit.

+1 This happens all the time, sometimes they walk thru the walls and sometimes they teleport in.
