Hotfix Build 1.7.2.3 Rolling Update

[pvt_ammo@hotmail.com 164]

I haven't experienced any of this. If anything, it seems like zombies agro for no reason at all; literally running from 100 meters away even when i'm crawling prone and not in clear sight.

Also losing the agro isn't easy unless you run through buildings to slow them down, they seem to follow just fine through forest/foliage.

Yeah, well now I've joined another server and the zombies are bleeding from nearly every hit. But I can still run right up to them from behind (1m) without them hearing me. Also still pretty easy to lose.

Since 1.7.2.3 best performance i experienced so far (ArmaX; 1.7.2.3 with beta 94876)! No more connecting-issues, it works just fine!

Hell yeah, I'm excited! :lol:

Can i put on my Ghillie now or would it still take away all my equip ?

Thanks Rocket! You brought that one out like a, ummm, Rocket! Keep up the hard work

I'm struggling to get in a game here... I had updated to the 94945 build, but then downgraded back to 94876, which was working. Now every time I go to launch the game right before the game starts I get a "Addon 'dayz_anim' requires addon 'CA_Dubbing_Counterattack'" message.. then once I'm loading into the server I get a "No entry 'bin\config.bin/CfgVehicles/Citizen1.scope'" message. Then it just kicks me back to the main menu. I am currently updated to 1.7.2.3 and 94876... and joining only servers with those same versions.

Just randomly got sniped waaaay up North in the woods near Lopatino.

Props to whoever got me, I was being pretty careful and I didn't see you. :)

Anyway, now that I'm back on the coast, I've been messing with the zeds alot more, and they're actually really quite good.

I've been able to lose them pretty easily, but they definitely aren't blind like they've been in the past.

I'm going to play with cans and noise some more. It would be really cool to get that Visibility check in the debug monitor back..

I would like to be able to use it to judge the behaviour better. I found it pretty useful in 1.7.2.1

DayZ is working fine for me and my friend.

Dayz Version : 1.7.2.3

Beta : 94876

*Desync and ghillie, camo problems are gone.

I can confirm this. Switching to ghillie suit worked for me, too.

Performance is looking good so far, no other major bugs appeared yet.

Can't tell anything about zombies yet, as I am a forest-guy. ^^

Going to check some cities now with a mate.

Dayz Version : 1.7.2.3

Beta : 94876

Probably you didn't downgraded properly. Check again

How does one properly go about downgrading? I knew I shouldn't have done it the way I did, it seemed a little shady ;]

I'm using 1.7.2.3 with the 94876 beta. I'm running the game through Steam. Every server I join, it loads fairly quick until I get to the black loading screen, that's when the game freezes. Is anyone else getting this? Does anyone have a solution? Sorry if this has already been asked.

I've never been able to run the game through steam. Try using the Six launcher.

Well the thing is, I've used Steam since I bought the game. I'm not sure if it has to do anything with it, I just added it to hopefully help diagnose my problem. I just like to see how many hours I've played in DayZ on my profile, I'm not too sure why haha. I guess I'll go ahead and try Six launcer.

Throwing empty cans & bottles seems like it could need some tweaking later.. (I haven`t really used them much earlier but since the latest patch now that the zombies are more alert they come in handy) I always have 2-3 cans when going through a city..

They work pretty well most of the time, but sometime the Zombies don`t react at all when i throw close to them.. Since i can hear the sound where i am standing, they should hear it too right? :)

What about making a small animation where you can knock on walls maybe.. Would be great to clearing houses with zombies when you have no equipment.

[sausagefingers 121]

Jumped on US346 really fast, played with friends, drove a few cars, wore some Cammo clothing, shot at zombies, a good time was had by all.

** New infected seem much better, they do notice you better than previous patches, but its not unrealistic like the last patch.

** No Desync issues while playing with mates

**good frame rate

** noticing more "household" items spawning in Deer stands ? (pepsi, maps etc)

Thanks again Rocket,if you keep up the good work, us Aussies might even claim you as ours ;-)

Happens to me from time to time as well.

I believe it is because of that particular server getting hammered with connections..

You can kill the task and try again, eventually you will get in.

I've was in the game less than an hour ago, quit to make dinner then had the same issue..

Just about to try again with a different server.

That seemed to do the trick. I hope I don't have to continue using the Six Launcher though. I don't know why, I just prefer Steam.

Logging in with no gear on beach do i need to update beta im running or am i sol

[U.B.C.S. Ravin 326]

Want to point out if servers are on 94444 and the client for the Arma2 Beta is 94945 the client will 'hang' at Waiting for Host and be unable to connect.

Do not recommend updating to 94945.

Did you do what I mentioned in a previous post? It worked for me, but I had to delete the entire beta folder, probably should have put that in the post, my bad sorry

[dimak415 62]

What the hell, I didn't say I wouldn't try. Besides i'm not at home right now. Jeez what an a**hole... and i thought this forum was decent.

Really? You thought this forum was decent? LOL you must have not read through many threads...

I can also confirm I am stuck on "waiting for host" on ARMA beta 94945 and 1.7.2.3. Even on the servers that say they are running the latest ARMA beta I get stuck. I can see the server logging, like people dying, and people chatting but never pass "waiting for host".

Agreed. Especially the zombies, apart from the various spawn issues, their behaviour seems almost perfect. More aware, but not TOO aware. Don't break legs at the rate they used to. Running around draws in a good number of them, but not ALL of them, and not too few. Once they are spawning correctly, they'll be great

Waiting for character to create, loading... CTRL+ALT+DELETE and punch my screen...

[Gamewiz 12]

This makes me very happy. Last night after I lost progress twice on my character (due to it not saving on the server) I was tempted to wait for awhile until the hotfix rolled around. Nice to see that it came so quickly! I'll give it another try and hopefully I don't lose progress again. I don't mind losing gear due to dying, it's just a little bummer to lose it due to server glitches. And yes, I know it's Alpha. ;)
