Stable version

[machomanugget 26]

Hey guys,

After searching for answers and chatting in the IRC channel, just wanted to ask here, see iff anyone can help..

At the minute i have my server running 1.7.1.5/ 93965 A2 beta... everything works as it should with this patch..

After hearing all the stoires of lost gear and or spawn problems / loading issues i decided to leave it on that as i heard more hotfixing and another patch will be released soon to get it sorted..(cant find anything on when this is coming)

I have the option now to update the server to;

DayZ v1.7.2 & ArmaOA94444

or

DayZ v1.7.2 & ArmaOA94444 Contingency (hotfix/patch)

Can anyone give me any idea if its worth updateing to either of these or just wait now till the 1.7.2.1 patch is released and the latest arma2 beta patched in( 94700).. i thought this would be out by now? i went to the beta irc channel but got told nobody had spoke in there for 12 hours and there was no news on the update being released?

cheers

The hotfix version is for the loading issue so you should go with that one.

You can wait it out. New patches always bring new problems. People on my server want to play the new stuff, even if it is a risk. Been hanging out on teamspeak with quite a lot of people and most of them were really chill about me updating. When 1.7.2 got released and people were stuck joining we all chatted in the group chat. Was nice meeting guys you normally don't see telling me they would always come to this server :)

In the end a bugged patch brought us a bit closer together ^_^

Both still have massive desync issues. 1.7.1.5 is the latest stable build.
