rocket 16567 Posted October 31, 2012 This is the first community + development team generated update for the DayZ mod. It is the culmination of a huge amount of work by both the community and the development team. The half-done 1.7.3 patch was made available to the community, who included many of their own fixes and updates. While dogs are "in" there are some mechanics missing so they cannot currently be used. Both myself and Matt spent a significant amount of time playing this today, and it was a lot of fun.CreditsA small summary of those involved in actual development of the patch are as follows (visit https://github.com/R...n/Developers.md for the latest list). Many others helped with testing and such. Please get involved with the community development project! There is much being done, new features and content. Official support is also being made available to community development team members for some requests, where possible.AJ (Leadz)AlakakalaAlbyAnderRocketf0rt (ashfor03)Ayan4m1FacoptereHumbleUkIMF2000TansienKillzone_kidStapoSumrakPwnoz0rR4Z0R49RajkoTheLaughingManVRShivaVenthosHow to installClientsUse SixUpdater or DayZCommander to install the update.ServersServer hosters can get the new Hive files from (link was wrong version... will post shortly!).

tophercook (DayZ) 22 Posted October 31, 2012 Great!!! I got (against my better judgement and an utter WASTE of $40) Warz just to get my zed fix while the mod was left "unattended" (no offense meant by this, you guyz have been busy); well needless to say I have been left STARVING, glad I can go back to playing a survival game that is actually worth my time....can't wait for the standalone... really I CANT FRICKIN wait!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
