Experimental 1.7.2.1 test patch

[Takas 91]

Any ETA when the patch will be ready to deploy?

[cyanyde 165]

I've noticed some serious graphical issues that I didn't have in other builds.

The ground flashes white when I am looking around or moving, this didn't happen in 1.7.1.5

(or if it did, it was nowhere as bad.)

I'll go in-game and get some screenshots to post on the bug tracker, but I thought I would post here to see if anyone else is getting this.

I'm playing on low settings on my laptop which is a core i3 with 4gb ram and onboard video. That's probably got something to do with it, but as I mentioned before, I didn't have this problem in the past builds.

Been playing 1.7.2 all day and load times are good again. Hive problem most likely because when i played morning after 1.7.2 release load times were very good.........

I get this with the Arma 2 beta (and therefore in dayz) while running in crossfire. disabling crossfire stops the flashing.

None beta Arma 2 is fine in crossfire.

Which beta patch are you playing with ?

I don't want to buy a second version of the game on steam -_-

I play with 94700 and now I will try the new one I just became aware of ;)

BTW: I didn't lose any of my stuff though I have Arma X

Just installed the new v94876 ARMA II beta patch.

Just installed the new v94876 ARMA II beta patch.

It will be backwards compatible. It's really only a tiny change from 94700, and doesn't seem game play related..:

[94761] TBB 4.0 update 5, (tbb40_20120613oss, http://threadingbuil...ver.php?fid=187)

EDIT: Eh, what do I know. That link leads to notes with some very internal programming stuff. This patch could do almost anything and I'd have no idea...

I think that was the server side hotfix they released the day of the update

[Shag 90]

Ok I know zed broken and mostly stationary, but when they are not I think they seem better.

Aside from the fact that there are a lot of them, they seem easier to lose once aggro'd. they also seem to zig-zag less than before - great!

I have had to make some important decisions re ammo and zeds that I haven't had to do before. I seem to be more often interacting with zeds, killing them, running etc. better with more zed, easy aggro, easy to lose and shoot in the open. I dont feel the need to run indoors so much to fight them.

if this all in my head? placebo effect on testing patch without release notes? or have they changed?

[rapier<3 7]

so if i install the new build 1.7.2.1 and keep my old file i will basically still have a "backup" of my old character or not ?

not to bothered if not, just want to play and help test

ty

[Kallelankulli 2]

Rapier, obviously you will not have any backups, the whole alpha is a test, the players are testers.

[thijs-93@live.nl 20]

Oooooh I'll join when I die, hopefully I'll stay alive though :P

[rapier<3 7]

you didnt see what happened when you played 1.7.2 and then went back to 1.7.1.5 then ;)

[Kallelankulli 2]

RedReloadedHD, I didn't respawn when I upgraded from 1.7.1.5 - 1.7.2.1, I still had all my gear and I was on my spot where I last logged out.

[rapier<3 7]

interesting

[LumberBack 43]

so did you take down the servers? all the se servers for the 1.7.2.1 patch vanished for me...?

[cyanyde 165]

Yeah I kept all my gear as well.

As I mentioned in the 1.7.2 thread, I spawned swimming on the floor in a supermarket because I was wearing a Ghilli suit.

Disconnected and when I logged back in, I was in the debug plains with my gear.

Made the trip back to the map and I was fine.

Once I updated to 1.7.2.1, I was expecting to start back at the coast with nothing, but I was still in the place I had logged out at, with everything except my Ghilli.

I wonder why some people are having different issues, while others are having none.

[ATOJAR 23]

The servers have gone? Dam i was just about to ask of the servers would be getting updated to the new 94876 Arma 2 beta patch too.

[LumberBack 43]

so a question about 1.7.2.1 anyone else not being able to use the armory anymore, for me its all broken, i pick a helicopter and i spawn in the water as a civilian...

[SEF 0]

no

your cd key = your character. There will be only one character per key

No. You can create another character. I created 2 once to try this, but im not sure now since Im not doing this anymore for a while.

I'll check that right now and edit with an answer.. give me a few.

edit: worked for me. I'm running Combined Ops on Steam and I was able to load up and spawn a uh-1h as normal.

I'm running beta patch 94700 and DayZ 1.7.2.1
