again: you have to repair the last windshield glass twice for the helo to stop leaking (totalling 9 glasses)

the fuel bug was introduced with 1.7.2.6, for now we'll have to bear with it i guess (still better than no saving whatsoever) a hacker disconnected me from the game once while flying the helo.. and yeah, upon reconnecting i was standing on the ground close to the position where i was originally flying. Chopper was gone however (no crash, no respawn)

ours spawned at skalisty as always... maybe you weren't fast enough? :)

omg this is awesome!° thank you! now just take your time for 1.7.3

you might be lucky.. sometimes they do save but only the first time they're saved and only if the person who pitched the tent does it (urbandict. just told me that pitching a tent also means striking a boner... silly english you :D)

didn't mean to be a smartass.. it's just that w/o steam you can just change the cdkey that arma stores in the registry and switch from one account to the other with ease. But i'm sure there is a way to do this w the steam version as well. well that's the problem... as of 1.7.2.5 tents do not work as intended. Meaning after a server restart everything stored within the tent will be gone (saved or not) this is pretty much the only reason we bought a second acc. so we'd have a safe storage until this goddamned bug is fixed.

yeah well there's a world outside of steam... and it's beautiful until the server restarts, that is... then everything is gone ;)

huh? how are you gonna access your second account if not by changing the cdkey?^^ and w/o tents how else are you gonna store items?

nowadays it's pretty much the only option to safe some gear.. works like a charm too (google Arma OA cdkeychanger)

well he said he'd release it when it's ready, and that it is just not ready yet.. to me that sounds like waiting another month not a week.... but who knows :)

then you're lucky.. i mean i know sth. like a fix for the problem exists (there's some dev-heaven link floating around) but our provider (gamed!.de) sticks to the policy that they won't edit any server files nor apply any fixes that aren't official :/

if there was just a tiny little hotfix to fix tents and vehicles... i guess there would be a lot less anger on these forums. fuck the gfx glitches, ppl have learnt to deal with those (restart, various other 'fixes', or simply avoid those areas) however w/o tents and vehicles there really isn't much to do but rage on the forums :) i say release a hotfix and take as long as you need for 1.7.3 :edit oor roll back six updater to 1.7.2.4

protip: if you're here for DayZ and DayZ only, then don't buy the overpriced bundle crap on steam instead get OA key for ~$10 from "somewhere else" this way you don't have to get all worked up over rocket "selling out" :)

de75 is shutting down unless rented? says teh motd since today... same w the other servers? and when will the server go offline? also.. 75 needs another restart

ok update-time: it seems to be okay now (no more leaking). what i did: 1 repair chopper completely (started w scrap metal, engine, rotor, glass) 2 repair the last windshield glass again (scroll to the bottom of the list of repairable glasses and repair the last one again -totalling 9 windshield glasses) i put two cans in the chopper.. it's been sitting there for roughly half an hour now... and no leaking so far (should've been empty by now if it was in fact leaking) thanks to "unknownbastard" for his thread (http://dayzmod.com/f...l-from-leaking/)

i did. i also read the post on dev-heaven about leaky choppers on certain servers.. i was just wondering if maybe sb. had already pinpointed the actual problem by now.. or better yet found a workaround. oh well.. will experiment a little more w this :edit also, is it just me or does the chopper always and only spawn at skalisty island (1725)? aaand what's w the heaps of glitchy barbwire it sometimes spawns next to?

hate to rain on your parades... but i did everything of the above... still leaky.. i've read in another thread that you actually need to repair the last windshield twice for it to stop leaking.. but that sounds like a myth as well... will try tho

so in conclusion, there really is no way to stop helicopters from leaking...?

you're not being serious... right? Oo

so wait let me get this straight... there is NO WAY to stop that damned thing from leaking?! we repaired _everything_ including the glass and whatnot and the huey still leaks considerably. is there really no workaround for this? do you mean you just have to repair them all for the heli to not leak fuel? Bc. that's not true.. ours still leaks. Or do you mean you have to repair them all but in a certain order (top to bottom?) for the heli to work properly?

eheh busted! i can totally relate.. i mean what else you gonna do on those long walks... it's the zombi apocalypse after all

"yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.." you go play dayz the way it suits you.. after all that's what's great about the game STILL fact is it's a bug fact is it is easily fixable and it's pissing off a LOT of players soooo my question: why not fix it...? i mean you can still keep on going hardcore and all..right?

quick question: if there is such an obvious quick fix (as documented here https://dev-heaven.net/issues/41502) for the most gamebreaking bug that persists in 1.7.2.5. which is the vehicle/tent saving issue .. then why o why not just fix it via official server update?! shouldn't be that big of a problem, no?

yeah everything is back... however do your tents/vehicles save the gear stored there? ours don't... lost some quality loot over the last few days^^ ingame nick is: pho (i'm your average friendly neighborhood scavenger tho', no filthy bandit... so pls don't hunt me down) :D

14/08/12 Afternoon: Tents/vehicles vanished again..... :( (submitted a ticket to trinitygames.com)
