Wow, what a patch! Thank you

[aux7 233]

oooooh night vision goggles

[Gobbokirk 546]

"Added: "You are here" marker for each tourist trail map stand"
Nice touch, lots of goodies here, big question ofc, what is a Gunter 2? 🙂

[repzaj1234 126]

Added: Firearms Melee Attacks with pistols, buttstocks, and bayonets

 

Yeeeeehaaaaw! I'm guessing the survival focused update won't be until 1.04?

[x4NDRO1Dx 0]

And still no fix for duct tape glitch

[Chainsaw_Squirrel 53]

HolY COW .. Huge .. worth the wait if all that works as intended !!!!!!!!!!!

[Undeceived 22]

That's a really nice patch! 👍 

 

I hope that the NVGs are as rare as e.g. the VSD (maybe only at heli crash sites) as they give such a huge advantage. And they are way more universally useable than the NV scope for the AKM.

Really nice.

Especially the docs. Happy about them documentation.

So there is no try/catch for exceptions?

And, maybe, just maybe, could we get a config setting to

 - define how many files can be in a directory (max of 500 is bad)
 - define a separate path for missions folder (so we can have it on a RAMDISK, but not the game)

Well, maybe time to create some tickets for these...

[Derleth 1352]

Impressive patch notes, excited to try everything, but:

× Why VSS? In all wishlists I've seen from players about weapons that is one of few guns I have never seen mentioned. Not once - quite simply nobody likes it. What about the .357s? The .22s, the double-barrel shotty, the B95, the missing pistols? Any one of those would have made more sense.

× No documented survival changes. Does that mean you can still gorge yourself on raw meat without getting sick?

Apart from that I'm blown away by the sheer amount of additions and fixes. Good work!

The only thing disappointing about this update. 1.04 better deliver on the survival side of this game. 

[Sid Debian 84]

What's a Gunter 2?! Is that vehicle, Is that weapon!? Or it's name of "Strawberry Jam"?!?!?!?!

[Influence_X 51]

Kinda sad no survival update but it looks like a good patch none the less. 

[Naphin 4]

No spray paint?

[Naphin 4]

I think the gunter 2 is the truck

[MATTEO M 12]

all very nice but I ask the developers. in 0.55 it was all much more simulative. in the generators served the gasoline, to mount a car they needed wrenches etc. there were fractures and many other things. I understand that you went out on the console but the game has become pure arcade

[sethxdeath 148]

It was said on the most recent developer live stream that broken limbs would be in 1.03. Was this feature mistakenly left off of the list?

They said if it wasn't coming in 1.03 then for sure in one of the patches after. 

[aux7 233]

theyve changed the eating noises . . ..

had a big fall, no broken legs   . . 

mil base is still full of 45 rounds  .  .. .

[MATTEO M 12]

one of the many things done at the time and then removed xD

[MATTEO M 12]

BUT WHY THIS regression? can any of you explain it to me?

[futro 0]

Holy tits!

Where have you been the last year and a half? From 0.63 and onwards they have basically had to rebuild the entire game from scratch in the new engine. Up until 1.0 focus was basics, running and gunning more or less, so now that the core is complete the polishing is under way.

[chambersenator 106]

Problem with both the Gunter 2 AND the Hatchback in this patch.

- There is no HUD indicator showing the option to "get in" or for refueling the gas tanks. However, if you look at the right spots and hold F it will let you get in or refuel.

- Once you get into either vehicle, you cannot get out, and no HUD indicator appears as well.

So at least with my tests in offline mode (using community offline mode, no other mods, and completely new DayZ settings folder), once you get into a vehicle, you are unable to get out. 

Disregard that, found a car on the exp branch, and what I found earlier in offline mode appears to be related to the community offline mode. Apologies

Spoke too soon, foot in mouth

[chambersenator 106]

And just a FYI - if you find that you are unable to rotate items in your inventory, just quit out, delete the DayZ settings folder in your documents folder, and start the game back up.
