Stable Branch - 0.53 Discussion

[SmashT 10907]

Did they do a public server wipe or reset, or was that just a rumor?

 

Yes they wiped the public hive.

Where's the best place to go regarding the new Private shard tools?

 

Specifically "View Admin Logs to enforce server rules or protect against cheating"

 

Yet to find it on the beloved DaRT. Am I looking in the wrong place or is that something that needs an update as well? 

[odin_lowe 3686]

Any word on whether helicopter spawns are fixed on Persistence enabled servers?

It was fixed on the 0.53 experimental, so I'm guessing it's also fixed on it's stable counterpart.

One thing to keep in mind is that Stable is outdated right from the get-go. We got 126384, which came out on Monday I believe (Feb. 2nd), whereas yesterday we saw both 126391 and the current Experimental build of 126398 (which is still up separately on the Experimental branch, by the way...).

Yes they wiped the public hive.

That's what I was suspecting but there was some confusion about that on another thread. TY for the clarification!

[gg_wolf 56]

We're with Vilayer and I'm told the new tools are streamed directly via your ACPlayer through log viewer or something. Guess we have to wait for the GSP's to catch up and implement tools to support the new logs. As yet we see chat logs via log viewer but no kill/damage logs?

Hello, 

Updated the game and I get the following message when I press "play". Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item. Anyone having the same problem?

[sonata 2]

every new update is amasing, how do you make it so fast?

[Tigermonk 140]

ever since the update came out this afternoon.. I tried to launch the game.. everything works until I enter the serverlist or remote access.. after that everything just plainly crashes.. and im unable to close the dayz Application without actually physically restarting my entire pc..

anyone else have this issue? this isnt a 'server' crash this is a entire game crash... verified my game files.. didnt help
currently re-installing the entire game.. but have little hope that will solve anything... before this update everything worked just fine..
right now? it's being a pain in the butt to say it polite..

anyone else have this same problem?

Has anyone tried the new melee weapons out? I'm curious to see how the hatchet, the ice axe and the trench shovel hold up against zeds. And has anyone found a mace yet?

[SteenRNS 35]

Ice axe kills zombies in two hits at least. Only new weapon i found.

Found rain jackets in all colors to. Even pink.

They can be used to make armbands. One can become 5 armbands i think.

 

BUG: I dont think you can drink from lakes anymore. Tried it at least.

You cant spam the wells with the "drink" option anymore either.

Not sure if that`s a good feature when it has a 6 second long un-interruptable animation.

It means you have to sit there for a solid 2 minutes to reach full hydration.

[sneakydudes 278]

Thank you, I hated this feature anyways.,

Have you tried using the water purification tablets?  That would be awesome if they made that a thing.  More focus on survival.

[Tatanko 5591]

As far as I know, that isn't actually in the game yet.

[zeotrope 76]

If you cannot spam drinking then that's gotta be a good thing. As long as you can "cancel" the action (6 second drinking animation)

I can confirm that the hatchet is working and onehits a zombie in the head.

Can't manage to make a fireplace, after making a basic firekit and puting it on the ground, and holding 5 sticks in my hand, I still cant manage to craft the one you can lit up. It just give me option to pick it up. I did chop all sticks with hatchet tho, so if there;s any bugs with hatchet, I missed it. Any info?

[sneakydudes 278]

When I went back into the jail all of those vests went poof btw. No longer then 5 minutes in the jail.

This is with persistence on, so they didn't stay on the ground. Just fyi

 

 

Lost all my food, in those High Cap vests. Lost all my medical supplies, and food I had on the ground. Everything started to delete themselves on persistence.

 

Will test further.

 

 

The long waited Water filling at the pound with a container is awesome now, did a good job.

I watched some youtube, and you need to group 5 sticks together then it can be ignited :)

if you are driving a truck and the server goes down you will spawn back where you last got INTO the truck not where you were when the server restarted.

Make fireplace kit --> add 5 sticks or 3 logs to fireplace kit to make fireplace --> ignite with matches in hand. If this doesn't work, the fireplace may be on too steep of terrain.

Yeah, I know it needs 5 sticks, somehow just doesn't work for me, but I did found already made fireplace, so it's obviously something on my end. I'll look further into it, thank you for responses tho.

It was that way in 0.52 as well I believe.

You're grouping the sticks/firewood BEFORE you try adding it to the fireplace kit? If I remember right, I had some difficulty when I tried to add like 3 and then 2 more as opposed to bundling a group of 5 first and then adding it as a whole pile. It was really finicky.
