Weird problem.

[Meshuggah (DayZ) 2]

Well, I finally got the mod to work so I can now enter a server. The problem is now I cant use my side channel and i start the game with only 1 bandage. Does anybody know what can cause this? Help appreciated

This is new in 1.7.1, you'll only spawn with one bandage and one box of painkillers.

Not familiar with the side channel problem though.

Ahh okay :) Thank you so much :)

global channels have been removed in 1.7.1 (side, command, global)

Why have the ben taken away?

To make it harder and reduce PvP at spawn i'd guess

Direct chat would only allow you to use your microphone (nobody would see text regardless of distance). To compensate for that, the global/side/command channels were left in.

Now, direct works both with microphones and text, so the server-wide channels have been disabled.

Also for various reasons, players now spawn with:

- 1 box of painkillers

- 1 bandage

- Coyote patrol pack

- Torch (in backpack)

The torch is toggled on/off with the L key by default.
