Hotfix Build 1.7.1.1 Rolling Update

[boneboys 7988]

Right,

thanks for the feedback.

Only constuctive posts here from now on, no suggestions like "melee at spawn" or

"Everytime problems. We are w/o loot and zeds now. GJ! Thx for patch. Its worked"

It seems apparent that there is a problem with beanZ, stuff respawning x3 and perhaps no loot on dead Z's

(I have found a box of matches btw).

I'm just trying to keep this as clean and clear as possible.

Thankyou.

Gameplay-wise the patch is absolutely fine the way it is. Now that you can lose zombies that are chasing you, aggroing them without weapons/ammo is no longer a near-certain death sentence. You just have to change your playing style. Unlearn what you have learned!

I played for around eight hours yesterday with a friend and we never had problems finding a weapon after spawning, despite being chased by Z's on multiple occasions while unarmed. The three times we/I died were mainly due to other players and my/our own stupidity: first because of not clearing the area after killing two bandits (then getting killed by their friends while we looted their corpses), the second time I was shot while looting a supermarket too carelessly, and the third time I was simply outclassed in a "duel" with another guy.

Sneaking around zombies while looking for weapons is an absolutely thrilling challenge, and I hope it is left in, despite all the whining.

On entering the server' date=' it seemed all was now as it should be. Prone again made you relatively invisible, audibility and visibility wise, crouch walking at 1 visibility and running at 2 visibility, with the audibility surface dependent.

However, after 45 minutes or so of play, shock and horror ensued as the audibility and visibility counters again ascended to their pre-hotfix values.

Even standing still crouched gave 2 on the visibility counter, prone 1, and crouch running almost 4 or 5, especially on roads and such. Standing in a road crouched gave a ridiculously high visibility rating. My friend was unable to leave Electro due to the suddenly buckwild ratings. Switching servers did not help. The settings seem to have reverted to patch 1.7.1.

I thiknk we need to pay attention to our surroundings, like open areas.

I have one major issue .. the fps i horrible all of a sudden. My computer runs big battles in normal Arma 2 and everything flawless but as soon as i join a dayz server i get like 10-15 fps.

Totally unplayable.. but it's only been this way since the last two hotfixes.

More wierd is that I started the session with both hunger and thirst flashing' date=' so I had a drink and nibble (my drink) and then went to a different server to play with a mate, at which point I respawned with hunger and thirst flashing again, but MINUS the food and drink I had consumed in the previous server :( Thus started the mad run around for food and drink which was really exciting...

Really hate that bug.

That could be a way to limit server jumping. Sounds like you had a valid reason to change servers tho

Of course not, the mod isn't in beta yet.

Hi

This has likely been covered already but i looked through like 10 pages and i couldnt find a soloution. I installed the path and downloaded the operation arrowhead beta version 90701.. or whatever it is, the one people said to get. Anyway i keep spawning in a forest with all my gear, no debugger invisible in third person view, im sure many have posted this. Is there any fixes known? thanks guys, not having a go at anyone just curious :)

[maddogx 10]

You need the latest beta - as of this post that's 93825.

2 Hours testing 1.7.1.1

The speed of crouching zombies is too fast. Need nerf.

The zombies are ultimate athletes at the moment. In 1.7.0 i can run away of crouching zombies, but now, is impossible scape from them or hide. Please nerf speed :(

Zombies spawn INSIDE and UNDER the barn crouching o.O

Food and Water not spawn anymore (bug)

When i use prone i get 1 point in eye hud :S

[Fantomblu 1]

Has anyone found any spawned food or is it not spawning at all?

I posted this on another thread, so I'll repost it here in hopes you see it Rocket..

I can confirm that loot is indeed bugged/nerfed horribly. I did a test @ the supermarket/redbrick house and 2 wood cabins (the one with the dining room) in Polana. I checked a total of 10 servers running 1.7.1.1 I found NO food. 1 can of soda. About 4 guns and ammo. 2 backpacks, and trash items galore (tin cans/steel bolts).

I'm saying that prone remains nerfed and crouchwalking audibility and visibility values remain the same as they were in patch 1.7.1, not fixed or reverted in the hotfix like rocket said they were.

Although his post is a bit useless, I too suddenly have bad FPS. I played the 1.7.1.1 with beta this morninn and everything went fine (av 35fps). THen I started the game up this afternoon, and my average FPS on every server has dropped to about 10, with low points of 5fps.

[Bebop (DayZ) 26]

Jedi make sure u installed lastest build of OA

AND u started a game from new shiortcut that appeard in ur arma2 folder (with ,,beta" in name)

About the fix :

Was just bitching around about 1.7.1 few topics lower, when i saw this O.O ill test it today evening, feedback on the way !

[nekodani 1]

Yes is confirmed, look twitter, food and water spawn are bugged.

Oh and bandages :D

[B00g (DayZ) 1]

Apart from the obvious bugs i love this patch! Climbed up on top of the town hall in Cherno with a (noobish) mate and found an Enfield, so I invited him to snipe some zombies, knowing that it would be possible to get away from them at some point. Not possible in 1.7.0.

Unfortunately he lost his footing and fell 60 feet into a mob of zeds anyway. Noob!!

[paniohitus 8]

No food or water spawns anywhere. Not in elektro/ cherno. I taught this was no bug, just to make the game harder :)

[nukey 0]

just played 3hrs, died twice. The only problems i could find were, the zeds still spot you to easily. But as long as u can get in a building they pretty much stop, and hang around doing nothing. I could find plenty of weapons and ammo, but couldn't find any food/water. maybe we could start with a water bottle again!

Keep up the great work.

We know what really happened up there.....he didn't fall!

[latster@gmail.com 4]

Really excited about the hints on the official twitter relating to the use of axes not being restricted to chopping wood....

[rocket 16567]

Food Water to be fixed in a hotfix released tonight. Along with maybe some other goodies...

PS. Don't stress guys! Someone people get really upset the direction of the game is destroyed... trying things out here, and things break occasionally... such is life in the zone, man!
