WARNING: Do not install 1.7.1.2!

[bptrav 0]

The entire point of this is to test the current release. If you are not using the most current version you are failing.

I wasn't able to go more than 5mins without a server crash on the 20+ servers I tried, so it's sort of impossible to really test anything else when that's happening. Most of them crash so quickly that I can't even move across the map at all, because it forgets the 2mins of movement I had before crashing.

Basically, I was "failing" to test this release anyway.

As if people payed 25Bucks for Arma2OA to test some alpha...

Of course they just wanna shoot stuff.

People should revert if they wanted to and every single detail of evrey game on the planet should be customizable so we could have different LoS parameters and spawn rates on different servers. That would be useful testing for the gameplay at least.

Rocket can probably use one single 12yr old to test all the things that are as obvious as item changes on drop or server crashes every 5 minutes. We dont need 100000 players for that.

dont care, waiting for 1.7.1.3

[PAiN512 10]

yeah' date=' dont patch if you haven't already, stay on the 1.7.1.0 servers since the 1.7.1.1 hotfix doesn't spawn essential generic loot (food, water, bandaids, flares etc) and the 1.7.1.2 hotfix hotfix crashes servers.

also, you cant roll back anymore. why'd rocket take out the previous versions? kinda lame I cant rollback to a more stable build. for future patching he should pre-release patches, keeping the previous stable version as backup just-in-case the new one falls on its face like this.

Is this true? Because I was wondering why it's been so so difficult to find generic loot lately. I went against one of my biggest rules which was to actually enter a major city just so that I could look for a couple of bandages and maybe a can of beans and I couldn't find a single piece of generic loot.

I came across tons and tons of tin cans and empty whiskey bottles but no bandages, beans, soda, etc....

How can I revert back to 1.7.1.0? Is it as simple as finding a server that still runs 1.7.1.0 or do I have to re-install the 1.7.1.0 zip file?

Please advise,

-Thank you

You have to delete the files from your @DayZ/addons, then re-extract the "old" 1.7.0 files in to that folder.

Want to blame something, blame them for allowing servers to turn off side chat. Been playing the latest patch for 6 hours, in servers I could give a warning about melee weapons on side chat, server would stay up for nearly an hour. In servers without side chat, 20 minutes of play at the most, typically 10 minutes at a time.

Lost my 60hr (8th on the longest lives list) character just now to this patch. creep up on an area move into building... server crash

log back in to another server same place, gain bullet to back of skull... alot of hard to find loot gone in that moment

---

i dont suppose theres anyway i can get them to roll my char back an hour or so?

No problems here!

Guys! We're alpha testers! We're supposed to be testing this mod. Finding the bugs, and helping to resolve them, or at least help them gain a priority.

Reverting back? "Don't bother with this version of the game?"

C'mon, guys... don't you want this game to get better? In order for that to happen, we need to be feedbacking to the Devs as much as possible, with good, reliable information. Not reverting back because a build is "Unplayable". Alphas often are.

lets face it, these days the terms alpha and beta testers go out the window upon an open release, they dont mean what they once did.

but i can see what you're saying, it is, however, disappointing to lose such a character who has seen so much, die to mundanely.

Yes, I'm sure they will do that just for you.. Out of ten thousand players. You ARE kidding right? *smooch*

This is true but to some players they can't stay on the server long enough to play (i can though i have no problems) so for people to carry on "testing" they need to revert back a step till a soloution is found, no point testing a patch if they can't stay on long enough to test lol.
