Is this heart attack something that everyone can get without no reason at anytime? Hope not and i'm not thinking so. I don't want to think so.

What is this, please explain. 

[360Nation 60]

Can we get some better optimization and major bug fixes soon? Thanks for this update though. :)

[Disgraced 1123]

Great stuff. If we're going to have something as mundane as a 'you're wet' indicator, how about a 'my leg is broken' indicator??

[Papanowel (DayZ) 34]

Nice to see some map improvement + berries :)

[RazRaz 34]

BUG: Searching for berries while flashlight is equiped and toggled "aiming mode" you can search instantly -> spamming "use key" and get berries as much as you want.

[dgeesio 1034]

spawn in elektro on my first spawn in was in a petrol container elektro docks. the big whiteones near orange brick buildings.

 

also when bandaging in third person you can sometimes see some weird flap movement going off.

[pr9inichek 252]

ETA to Stable:  on Wednesday, tomorrow?

[DropBearChick 1217]

So i take it no reuger?

And you fogot:

Status effects for water eg soaked

Breaking of arms

Edit, good to see all the svetlo changes, seeing as its my town, curious to see the town and rock formation mentioned in the changelogs, and will the player limit be increased for this update?

If you don't get a heart attack from sprinting full speed from Berezino to the NWAF without a break I'd be surprised.....lol

[horrorview 56]

Not digging the wet/dry indicator sound, but loving the FPS boost. Still getting bogged down in cities, but not nearly as much (30-35fps according to FRAPS as opposed to 20-25 FPS in stable).On the coasts and in clearings, 80fps or better? Damn! Nice job guys!

"

• Actions: Eat All now supported for consumables"

Thank you.

[irishroy 1347]

Hm.

What about the leather jacket?

Is it surely in now?

[360Nation 60]

I thought Dean was fixing the invisible soda's and food's that take up one slot?

actually you just reminded me the breathing is too loud with motorbike helmet on as a women. i sounded like a sexual deviant.

 

as a runner or fit person you don't breathe like that when you run. you only breathe like that when totally tired and basically done worn out. i had it for quite a while. the motorcycle helmet seemed to amplify it.
