Didn't worked for me, same goes for crouching under hangars. If u ask me i'd say it's fixed.

[shael6636 10]

Anyone able to actually log into or see the experimental servers yet? As i can only see the t102 server and the dayz Dev123 server and cant log into the t102.

[bamf09 17]

We're still in maintenance.

ETA on servers?  Not complaining, just eager to try the new changes in live.  

 

Why I woke up at 4AM I'll never know, but now that I'm up I might as well play the new stuff right?
