Same problem for me, except all of my gear is gone ... there goes a week of scavenging. Somethings tells me that the "changelog" from 1.7.2.5 had a lot of undocumented changes because I don't see how all of these new problems could have been introduced by rebinarizing a few models.

Can we get some kind of official status/update on the patch? The last thing were heard was a tweet that it wasn't going to be pushed out on SU until later ... but that was more than 24 hours ago and there are many, many problems seemingly related to this new push no matter which version you're using -- I know that even with 1.7.2.4 that people are spawning on the coast no matter where they were when previously logging out.

I lost all of my gear too :(

Every time I login I spawn on the coast in either 1.7.2.4 or 1.7.2.5 AND all of my equipment is gone. Since this is happening in both versions, I suspect that something got messed up in the database.

The mod is utterly hosed up for me with .4 and .5 ... now when I join a server with either patch version, I get dumped on the coast with ZERO equipment ... but all of my metrics are there for kills, etc.

The only thing bandit skins do is show you HAS killed somebody already -- given the chance, the majority of people are going to murder another player if they get the jump on them.

Nobody I know can play, including myself.

Seems like most of the servers in my list are running 1.7.2.5 now ... wonder when they will push it so Six Launcher updates to the new version.

It's a sandbox, just in case you (obviously) don't understand what that means: An open world is a type of video game level design where a player can roam freely through a virtual world and is given considerable freedom in choosing how or when to approach objectives. The term "free roam" is also used, as is "sandbox" and "free-roaming". "Open world" and "free-roaming" suggest the absence of artificial barriers, in contrast to the invisible walls and loading screens that are common in linear level designs. Sandbox emphasises a paradigm where, as in a physical sandbox, the user is entertained by his ability to do as they wish creatively and with there being "no right way" of playing the game. Generally open world games still enforce some restrictions in the game environment, either due to absolute technical limitations or in-game limitations (such as locked areas) imposed by a game's linearity.

Because you're practically invisible when you're prone and not shooting.

Battleye isn't quite good enough yet to defeat most of the script hacks currently being used. I kept seeing the "Battleye Random Fact" lastnight, during which time there was a hacker spawning helicopters right in front of my group of friends and broadcasting Arnold's "Get To The Chopper!"

My guess is that the vehicle was CREATED by a script and that check happened when you interacted with it.

I encountered a new hack today -- invisibility! A friend and myself were playing and we saw a zombie running around chasing something ... it was running around us, in circles. Then, my friend gets killed from a silenced weapon a few seconds later. I've been playing long enough to know that what I saw was a zombie chasing a player I was unable to see. Ugh.

The hackers don't care about this game, they only care about ruining it.

We are an incentive-driven society: Reasons to shoot on sight: 1) if i kill them, they can't kill me 2) loot their gear Reasons to NOT shoot on sight: 1) feel good

Unfortunately, right now it's kill or be killed because there's no incentive to let other players live.

Sniping noobs is a game for cowards. This guy was probably WTFPWNED by some guy in CoD and ragequit and came to DayZ to kill unarmed opponents.

Great, but if they ever fix it then they still have the problem where 75% of the gear in the game is from duping and hacking.

Congrats! Now fix cheating :)

There is more cheating going on in the DayZ mod than any other game I've played in the past 20 years. It's a huge problem that needs to be addressed -- in fact, I would argue that it should be the #1 priority in the mod right now over all other issues.

The hackers aren't killing you for your gear, they are killing you to grief/have fun. If all they wanted was gear, there's plenty of other script hacks to summon anything a player would want.

I killed a hacker named "Kyle" this week ... he had an AS50 TWS with 45-round magazines for it! I felt dirty using it so I put it on a dead zombie and buried it.

There's a big difference between unannounced and undecided.

From what I've seen in interviews with Rocket, the DayZ mod is just an experiment and I personally don't expect things to change since the standalone version will likely be RELEASED before the end of this year (according to Rocket).

The problem with DayZ is that it's a mod builting around scripting ... so they cannot really do much to fix the problem until they have a standalone game :(
