Here is a guide: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/198513-arma2-oa-beta-patch-system-update-admins-clients-please-read/ And yes, a few are running the new version already.

15 feet is like 0.5m, right? Sorry, just mocking - the range is something we're working on, as the system is always a workaround the ARMA engine and extremely difficult to handle. We're working on something, though.

You can use Steam's commandlines to force an install, if not already happened and force people to install certain Beta's of that install - so theoretically he could add a button to DZC saying: "Install using Steam" and it does everything for you.

We'd rather have people be nice around here, as that can be deemed offensive. You don't want to get yourself another warning, do you?

I am not entirely certain on this, but how does DayZCommander acquire the serverlist? Is it not using the same masterserver (GameSpy)? If you weren't using the newest Beta Patch it then wouldn't show up on DayZCommander as well. It also won't affect the playerbase at all. All they need to do is update the Beta, which they had to do in the past already. The only struggle is for the serverhosts and it's a necessary evil, as otherwise their server wouldn't show up. This is really just another annoyance for server-admins - but something you'd have to expect as Admin anyway. The playerbase won't suffer in this equation.

It's a serverside fix in the missionfile. I am sure the new missionfile was distributed, just redownload from the CDN.

Wrong. I do not make mistakes. Ever. I am German.

Hello there and welcome to the forums, as I can see it's your first post. Please make sure to search before posting and make yourself familiar with what is confirmed to be coming (soon) already anyway. Storage (whether that will be tents or fridges or stashes) will be accessible by all and won't be locked to anyone, not even when one dies. It will be specific to servers and will always be, same with vehicles. I suggest reading up on confirmed features. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/182275-dayz-at-rezzed-2014-dev-sessions-livestream-roadmap/

This one? 1.8.1? No. We already have a confirmed date for the next patch and a changelog: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/198074-rolling-changelog-182/

That's something for the next patch.

We haven't done for the longest time. If you look at 1.8.0.3, the Zombies don't matter at all, nor does food or drink. For the first time in a long time we're going back to it being survival and you already say "they always only cater the hardcore players!" - shouldn't you know better than that, when you're saying you're around for that long?

Russian Cheat Sheet.

1.: Hitting "Play" throws you in the last server you were in. 2.: Doesn't make sense whatsoever, if your gun doesn't work you can't hunt anyone anyway.

Have you tried relogging / dropping the gun and picking it up again at any point?

It's not our fault, is it? There's nothing we can do about it. If we can chose, we wouldn't update the Beta at all, considering it's breaking more of DayZ than it is helping us. We're not Bohemia, we're Community-Devs with no influence over ARMA 2 Beta Development whatsoever. You're mixing up stuff here majorly. The reason we need to use the new Beta is because we have no choice. GameSpy is shutting down, which is sad in itself, but if you do not update your server to the new Beta Patch it will never appear on any server browser again, effectively cutting you off from the rest, because noone can find your server. Only way to know would be by knowing the server exists and remoting in. We can't afford keeping server-admins from that, so we had to update to the newest Beta Patch, so it utilises the Steam-Server-Browser. TL;DR: Yell at BIS, not us people, we've not chosen to do this and had enough problems with it ourselves already.

Because it's using the Steam-Server-Browser anyway - apart from the fact that the Steam Version doesn't throw any errors at all. Just think about the endless amounts of times people have had "Wrong CD Key" or "ACR doesn't seem to be installed on your PC" or whatever. There have always been problems with the installer you linked above. Steam doesn't. It gives you three different options at the moment. There's 108074 (which is compatible with 1.62.103718 servers) and 112555, which is compatible with the 1.8.1 patch. You can switch between the two without any hassle whatsoever and can join theoretically join any server using that method. Just think about the struggle you'd have trying to roll back from 1.63 to 1.62. It's nearly impossible for the normal user.

Not really, you should be able to copy everything over into the Steam-Folders and it checks its integrity and should theoretically accept it. It might cause some issues in the beggining, but the Steam-variant is the best way of distributing the Beta Patch at this point.

Thread has taken quite the downwards spiral. There are plenty of topics about infinite ammunition, including this pinned one: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/168635-whats-the-current-hacking-status-like-in-dayzsa/ Feel free to use them.

I had removed it at that point already - carry on.
