Roark92 90 Posted July 30, 2013 whats up with the download tab on the dayzmod home page? it says download dayz (alpha test) is that a joke? or are the mod devs purposely trying to aggravate people? i dont care personally but im just wondering why it says that now all of a sudden. seems rather tactless.

IkaikaKekai 1957 Posted July 30, 2013 Was wondering that myself. I probably didn't notice it for a couple of days. Clicked on it just to be sure. Might just be a mistake or something, or gearing up for the release, after all I thought the Mod itself was in 'beta'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dancing.Russian.Man 1631 Posted July 30, 2013 Hasn't it been like that for a very long time, though?The current DayZ mod is/has been considered a part of the alpha-stage. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IkaikaKekai 1957 Posted July 30, 2013 Ah, wasn't sure if it was Alpha or Beta. What did the download button say before? I can't remember now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Back in my day, we had to install the mod manually. We didn't have this "DayZ Commander" that all you whippersnappers are using. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Statik (DayZ) 2695 Posted July 30, 2013 But really, DayZ is actually currently in an Alpha stage. The download link on the main page is manual download link for the latest mod version. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beastoverlord 574 Posted July 30, 2013 That button was always there. The mod has never moved out of an alpha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SmashT 10907 Posted July 30, 2013 (edited) Ah, wasn't sure if it was Alpha or Beta. What did the download button say before? I can't remember now. Download alpha version (version number), it just looked better and it also had a thing on the right saying it's a mod for ArmA CO and where you could buy that. Maybe they used a really old backup of the frontpage, not sure. Edited July 30, 2013 by SmashT 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You mean you didn't enjoy downloading, extracting and dragging and dropping files to C:, Program Files (x86), Steam, Steam Apps, Common, Arma 2 OA My first time doing that was something I will never forget.

PK Richie 507 Posted July 30, 2013 I remember them days, new patches and fixes would come out every few days.We used bat files to launch and then still had issues :lol:The forum was shit slow and timed out.The mod was terrible and so buggy, It's really come a long way though.You spawned with a Makarov. Rocket would actully post here on his own account, instead of Reddit first and then the mods copy and paste :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What fun server hosting was. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yea, pretty sure thats been there a while too. If there is an DayZ SA alpha to be downloaded, my guess would be from steam or the dayzgame website. *edit* oh yea, they changed it...Why? very silly...
