1.5.8 this weekend?

[wasrad 42]

Didnt ROcket say something about releasing the new update today?

[rocket 16567]

Respawns of zombies adjusted

New equipment interaction system from gear menu

Maybe more. Won't be patched now (its peak time, 5.5k concurrent), once it dips down.

[wasrad 42]

Oh wow...thanks for the quick reply and I....well.....WE.....look forward to it!

[Felix (DayZ) 21]

Sweet, looking forward to it.

Going to miss the carpets though:

How can you not love this mod when creator chimes in 2nd post. Wow. Looking forward to the update.

Rocket has to be the most involved developer out there.

I hope the update does not interrupt PC gamer Evan Lahti's 3 hour livestream :P

Any words about the absence of loot in the crashed helicopters you added some time before ?

Not want to sound spoiled or anything.

Love it Rocket, thanks!

Btw, do you know if there is a estimate for when the direct chat is going to be fixed ?

[davsummers1996@yahoo.com 1]

Sweet. Hopefully the servers will update quickly. I hate it when on some games (mainly Source games), if there's an update, the server owners have to shut down everything for about an hour to update the software. and some servers don't update at all, so they are incompatible.

Direct chat - Arma issue, not dayz. Download latest beta if you want it to work for now :)

Been posted about as a bug, so they know about it. Have to wait for the change log to see if its fixed.

K, if they're aware of that it's fine.

Yea I know it has to do with the arma engine, but I suppose Rocket has more information on it then I do ;p

And I'm using the latest beta patch for arma 2, but it still breaks after like 10 mins or so.

sweet. I hope he doesnt take away to many zombies though. Zombies are fun.

[anthony_henson2003@yahoo.com 33]

Thanks rocket really looking forward to the changes :) (higher vehicle spawns !! one can only dream :)

[zorg_dk 30]

look forward to the patch. :)

I can't wait for direct chat to work so now i can babble and people can hear my from a distance.

[i wub pugs 16]

Is it gonna boot us to the coast and wipe out people's stuff again?

[cm. (DayZ) 28]

Direct chat will cannot be fixed by dayz it's an arma 2 bug. There is already a beta patch that fixes it but obviously not everybody uses that so it's sorta useless.

Rocket already stated it was fixed in a 'future' patch.

If I get the newest beta patch won't I only be able to play on servers using it? Which in this case is only like two...

[Felix (DayZ) 21]

There's at least 5 last I checked that run beta versions. May be more now, haven't scanned through them all lately.

Based upon Rocket's post, it seems as if he is just adjusting the spawn timer on Zombies, and not the amount, however, it would be wise for us to wait and see before complaining/cheering.

You'll be able to play on any server with a version equal to or lower than the beta patch you installed, down to 1.60.xxxxx

Rocket, just wondering if you can be more specific about a patch time, ie when does the concurrent population dip down to something you feel is low enough to give the patch to server admins.
