Rolling Update Rev - 0.43.116251

[Mullucka 34]

I can't wait to be able to actually get in to a server so I can try it.

[iBane 381]

I got this with a bat trying to fend off two zombies. Zombies - 1... Me - 0

are the zombies more aggressive this go around??? Normally in close proximity I can pull out the pull out my axe and have a hacking fest. Logged out in a barracks in balota. Logged in with the patch next to a zombie.... In the dark. Zombies - 2... Me - 0.

 

You must raise your weapon to attack zombies now: using the space bar.  Previously you didn't have to.

How do you know it's amazing if you haven't tried it yet?..

[youngbuck (DayZ) 11]

can someone confirm:

If I open a canned tactical bacon with can opener it disappears ... if I open another can, both appear.
think it's a bug or something.

I dont like that tho :( I finally hoped they won't bring it into stable.

Well that's the way it works right now.  However, other than fists and machete, movement is normal with melee weapons raised so it's not bad.  Also the patch notes indicate this is a problem (not being able to attack from weapon-lowered position) that Devs intend to fix.  

 

"Known Issues"

"Melee: Cannot conduct melee attack from "lowered" melee stance (press space to chance stance to "raised")"

perhaps a slower less powerful hit from the lowered position will be added.

da dum tisss

[komadose 190]

it's working for me now.

[pcriddle 7]

Zombies can hit you outside of the radius of the melee swing

 

Melee swing/hit 1m

Zombie swing/hit 3m

Don't try moving backwards it only makes it worse

 

Don't try swinging melee in enclosed spaces, you'll only hit the walls, zombies will hit you though.

Zombies will still push you through walls.

Amazing lag, amazing game architecture laziness, amazing incompetence, amazing cluelessness about the core problems, amazing how fast they destroyed the immersion, amazing they released a patch that broke the entire network.

 

Fucking amazing on an epic scale.  Dean destroyed his own creation by not insisting on a competent team to work on his concept.

I like the new features of this update, but one thing really makes it nearly unplayable for me:

The de-sync bug.

 

Running in a group of 3 people yesterday, the de-sync happened about every 10 minutes and lasted for about 1-5 minutes. Always "he guys, where are you gone now?" and then "oh, i cant even change my weapon…de-sync!!"

After 1 hour we all disconnected because of frustration, this bug really kills the fun. The update shouldnt get in stable version yet with this bug. I hoped they only release it when the major bugs are killed, which did not happen.

I only tried the experimental 2 times, but always uninstalled it because of the de-sync bug. I preferred to play the "old" stable version instead. Now I am forced to play stable with this bug. I'd rather prefer having an "update" which brings us back to the 0.37 version than having to play with this….

Move something in your inventory, also if you have space in a slot higher in the inventory slot it will go there.

Maybe you should wait until the game is released or at least in a more stable state (>beta), issues like this are expected during this phase of development and are going to continue to occur throughout the alpha development cycle.

Constructive criticism is important however all I am seeing from your posts is constant trolling and insults intended to incite knee-jerk responses from other posters and flamewars. Please stop.

Seem to bet Skill related killed about 20 zombies with a bat yesterday. Had a fight 1vs3 zeds with a bat in a house. Though they've hit once and made me loose blood I killed them all. Just run around and dont try to fight them head on unless you have an axe.

You just have to get used where your swings land and do dmg. I know its tedious but absolutely doable.

Hmmm.. is it bad to admit I never thought of that?

 

Now... I could probably just give an excuse and say... "They're all from different military services... So the colors won't match. Such as the UK Camo Bal. Vest and the TTkSO jacket and the... African(?) camo pattern of the Boonie Hat...

But then it's still odd that the Green Tactical Jacket and the Green Canvas pants don't really match in color (if they're in the same condition), or the TTkSO stuff.

In some way, it's cruel to people with severe fashion OCD... :) "Must... find... matching... shirt!!!!"

Yes... if something disappears, such as when you empty a box of bullets and the bullets disappear... move/swap some items around in your inventory, such as some cans. It'll refresh the inventory and you should see your bullets. Also, don't forget, if you have a slot open higher up in your inventory, that's usually where the item in a container like a "just opened can" or the bullets of a box of bullets goes.

[hombrecz 832]

Simply cant wait for the desync and connection loss bugs to be fixed.

Once they are squashed, gonna be good times!

 

p.s. what worries me is, that devs have problems with implemention of loot respawn. I hope there is nothing fundamentaly flawed in the architecture that makes this so problematic.

[RockerJC 43]

Hey, in the main menu my character has no gas mask becoz i have the ballistic helmet. But in game on stable servers i still have the gas mask with the ballistic helmets...anyone else having the same visual bug?

Do i need to kill my character from the last update? is that the problem? i dont want to lose all my gear for nothing?

[rickenbacker 190]

Did anyone else notice a drop in the FPS?

 

Yes. On my i5-3570K, 16GB, GTX660Ti system, I noticed a marked FPS drop with the current stable patch.

Do i need to kill my character from the last update? is that the problem? i dont want to lose all my gear for nothing?

I have the same character as the past couple of weeks and, except for occasional desync like issues on logging in, everything is smooth for me. A good variety of gear in a packed inventory too. Though I am playing on hardcore so don't know if that's making the difference. I know some people saying they have a smooth experience have mentioned hardcore...
