Dupe, never die and no zombies bug

[Avean (DayZ) 31]

Date/Time: July 4th 2012

What happened: On Chicago 60 which is running version 1.7.0 still, it lets people with newest patch in so we get tons of bugs cause of that.

1. No zombies, sometimes u can see 1 zombie in an entire city but thats very rare.

2. You can still loot stuff and bring this on up-to-date servers.

3. If you die on this server, you will respawn at the last place you disconnected with your gear. That means its easy to dupe your stuff as someone can kill you and you spawn again and loot your corpse.

People are doing this like crazy on Chicago 60.

Where you were: Chicago 60 North West Airfield

What you were doing: We found out by accident, we got killed off and we were shocked to see we actually spawned with our gear again and that we could bring it to the up-to-date servers. We tried out with many items we found and anything could be duped, except vehicles ofcourse.

Only items that can be in your inventory. People running the 1.7.0 patch could still use the global chat channel, we couldnt though. And they couldnt see our gear either but we could see each other. They could die and see zombies, we with up-to-date patch couldnt.

Current installed version: 1.7.1.5 / Arma 2 build 94444 (Also worked on 94364)

Server(s) you were on: Chicago 60

Your system specs: I7-960, 8GB, GTX580

Timeline of events before/after error:

Basicly you need to stop letting people joining out of date servers

Kinda hoping there will be a character wipe soon. Make everyone start fresh.

It's just good for traveling. You're not going to get anything when you're on a lower patch server.
