DayZ Mod 1.8.1

[kichilron 8550]

This looks amazing, do you have an estimated time on when this will be updated? 

 

 

It's already released. That's what this announcement is for.

 

You just need to wait for the Admins to update. Some servers already have, for example UK410.

DZC has just been updated.

[Ransurian 23]

At this rate, the SA might begin to approach the mod in terms of implemented features by 2025.

 

Edit: Probably not.

In your init.sqf make sure to match the instance to whatever you had before.

[fazmond 11]

Our Server is updated if you guys wanna come try it

[icomrade 201]

Awesome to finally see this released. :)

 

Even more awesome to see the updated beta requirements, I hope those cause some performance improvements.

 

EDIT: Don't forget about these launch params, the first one disabled the update message, the second should improve performance.

oh yea nice find let me pass that info on. Comrade drop me a pm on skype when your free

Tough call to make on playing at the moment.  My regular haunt is still on 1.8.0.3, as are many of the remaining public hive servers, particularly the German providers who make up a sizeable chunk of the public pool.

 

I'll try to drop in on some of the populated ones before I make a decision on the one way character trip to 1.8.1, as I'm sure the news of release will not have spread to all the bazaars yet.

 

 

If anybody else wants to chip in and spread the word before updating to 1.8.1, I'm sure a group effort would be appreciated by all, to keep our player base and providers together on the same page.

 

Changing DayZ Mod and Op. Arrowhead beta versions in Steam is as easy as selecting from a drop down list in the game Properties > Betas tab.  However, once 1.8.1 has been played, as previously posted, there is no going back for character data.

Even though it's not spread as much yet, there are quite a few servers out there already. Both Private and Public Hives.

[EQQQQQ 3]

Since thevisad discontinued Reality last update, most private hives are going to be delayed for a bit till people figure out the list of stuff that need reworking in the server>db calls. Most notebly the blood group, tents and stashes as well as achievements.

[kichilron 8550]

There are quite a few private hives out there already, but they're not supported. Not much we can do to help.

I'm really excited to give this a try. I haven't played the vanilla MOD in over a year. Cheers!

[zombieland78 42]

is this only for vanilla or can/will it trickle down to the various similar mods i.e. Epoch? (sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm not familiar with intricacies) :)

[TIC 1050]

This update is the only update that'll make you genuinely die from zombies.. I've tested this out and confirmed that the zombies are definitely a lot more challenging but that's what makes the mod fun along with the other features that have been included.

Other mods will be able to use what they like.

Yeah, I think I made a mistake. This is a huge upgrade to the game, but I can't see this holding players. The mod already has a pretty small player base, and this is hard enough to make people rage quit like crazy. As much as I enjoy a challenge, I also enjoy playing with a few people that I've met on the game, as well as a few friends that I've brought to the game. The zed's are just too powerful for being as buggy as they are. Having them be a legitimate threat to end you with one shot is cool and all, but when they hit you through a wall, it's hard to accept.
