SystemiK 366 Posted June 20, 2012 Just got done looking over the changelog from the latest Arma 2 beta patch (ARMA2_OA_Build_93965) and I've compiled a list of the points which would seem to have an impact on DayZ. It was a massive changelog and I'm sure I missed a few and probably included a few others which are not going to effect DayZ at all, but there are several nuggets in there which are going to be nice...

Castle (DayZ) 23 Posted June 20, 2012 Those first 4 are the only ones in the latest beta patch. Take note of the numbers. Everyone has 825 by now, and everything below those first 4 is already in 825. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SystemiK 366 Posted June 20, 2012 @CastleRight, but I'm hoping some of the things on the list will encourage everyone to upgrade to the latest beta (93961) instead of the required beta (as of today 93825). All of these fractured beta versions of servers is becoming a pain in the ass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flevius 1 Posted June 21, 2012 [93958] New: Dropping items while swimming can be disabled with "enableItemsDropping = 0;" in description.ext Can we pretty please get this turned on in Dayz? We have to swim to fill our bottles anywhere but a pump, and dropping stuff on the shore before you do is by no means a safe way to keep your gear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
