Beans for everyone!

Niiiiceee!!!

[Aussie Cleetus 57]

Exciting. Will be even better once Steam sends out the update to the Exp Servers.

[iamjohnconnor 11]

Nice progress, vehicles I have missed a lot

[Five_Seven_Clown 88]

Well done, milestone reached.

[gblegend 15]

Good JOB!

FINALLY!

[jedimfp 231]

when on xbox?

[DarthRogue 8]

Yeah....all this is great.  But you STILL can't remap controls.  Sorry guys but that's a fail.  Players aren't going to re-learn a new control scheme.  The new input system should never have been merged until it was fully functional, including the ability to remap all keys.

Got a Problem since patch, im fine starting the multyplayer but when i try the offline mode it always stucks in Loading screen. Im still able to press esc and get back to the Starting screen where i can choose my Survivor.

 

Pls can you help me? ^^

[Mantasisg 172]

Why VOIP is so incredibly dialed down ? It is impossible to communicate. You have to stand face to face, and you still can't hear other player well... just so silent... 

Why DayZ can't just get better ? Instead some stuff is always getting better and some worse. I remember when VIOP used to work well, you could hear ~50meters around WELL, and hear talking even further. It did help with interactions.

Yeah, we do realize how unfortunate that is. We'll cover the reasons why we have not provided that option yet in the Status Report later tonight. 

Long story short: the option will be available before we hit 1.0. Before it's available in the settings menus, we're going to try and provide a workaround to change the controls using a configuration file.

I'm guessing it has something to do with the xbone controls

Yeah i was so mad because of this too so i managed editing config file manually at dayz documents folder,

this is the file with key controls: Documents\DayZ\xxx.dayz_preset_User.xml

i edited it with free notepad++

the aviable key bindings list is in same folder named xxx.core.xml

dont forget to backup your edited file as mine was deleted after some experimenting with unused lines from earlier version

one more tip pageup and pagedown key is marked as "kPrior" and "kNext"

good luck

There is some issue with the VOIP,  but not for every player, we are investigating.

Okay so your 1 hour ahead, do you know the time around tomorrow? So I can get my VPS set up for the update

My dedicated server running the last patch ran fine but now, after updating, it crashes every time @ " [CE] [HIVE] :: Init sequence finished " I backed up everything and did a clean install with ONLY the previous ServerDZ.xml file in place to name the server and the needed 'instanceId' to start the server.. kinda boo that it stops here. Any ideas?
