Known Issues

* Gyrocopters have no damage graphics and lack repair options. If you treat them harsh enough they will die, but look normal still. They will however respawn on server restart when destroyed. They can also be saved and refueled ok.

* To exit the tank, you each need to go via the drivers seat otherwise sometimes you might get injured.

* Sometimes the Bandit model complains about no value for AK_74_M/Burst value. Just ignore it and click ok.

* As with standard DayZ the female bandit defaults to the male model. We will have this fixed with a unique model next build.

Great job i must tell. I was waiting long to see those features. Some questions are bothering me - grenades still spawn in military spawns or have been removed? I didn't play the mod for some time so i am not sure.

Do you plan in the future to implement more throwing weapons/items, like bricks, stones or knives?

Edit:just the cosmetic B)

Any clue as to when this is going live?

I am eagerly awaiting ;)

I was playing yesterday and one of my thoughts was "why single bullets can't be merged into a partially filled mag?". Maybe its a wrong place to post suggestions, but i try - why not adding to world clips that have random number of bullets in it? Player can find i.e. stanag mag with 3 bullets(or empty), and can find a bunch of single bullets than put them into clip found earlier. Like that it will be more realistic and fun.

Just want to let you guys know if you trying to update through PlayWithSix or DayZ Commander they're still on version 1.1 and not version 2.0 since I guess there still testing it. Thank you for providing the link so now I can try the newer version of 2017.

Edit:

I did what OP said but none of the 2.0 servers appeared when I launched OA, (Not through a launcher -- they do when I check on PlayWithSix but you can't update it to 2.0) anyone have any suggestions of what I need to do?
