Hotfix Build 1.7.2.4 Rolling Update

[bruxaum 18]

Not sure if there are any weapon changes or just desync.

Fired a whole mag revolver until that single zed went down, FI 1 just 2 minutes ago.

Same here with M1911.

Man, seriously.... If was difficult regroup with your friends with when the game had this, imagine now... >:( <_<

I know it will allow if you have a fracture, but why?

Because this shouldn't be about you respawning until you are in a group with your friends. This is supposed to be a hard game.

I'm all for this in the update, if it means we see more people in the other inland towns rather than just people respawning until they are close to Elektro or Cherno then it's good news.

Should make The bandits move away from these two towns also as there in theory should be less players in them unless people want to run the length of the beach to get back to them again.

Also one of the latest ARMA 2 patches has modified the weapon damage stats.

m1911 and revolver takes around 4 - 5 bullets to kill a zombie now.

see this post about it

They will be added soon and then appear on the next (game)server restart after that.

Perfect.

[AMD (DayZ) 2]

[johnyflash 10]

When will you added heli? To day? Next week? Next month? It's really great news, very more gamers wait it, but very little information about the time of adding.

[Chimaera 68]

Confirmed working and playable

Like the new screens guys better than the Arma ones :P

A few flashes of screens whilst loading like it wasn't sure which screen to display during loading with glimpses off the arma screens showing through at times.

The Dayz version number wasn't were i expected it to be lol

Was quicker into game for me than previous patch

I was already using build 95389 anyway so no issues there

Didnt notice any major issues but ill test more later.

Forgot to look at respawn button {prob cos i dont use it lol}

Seems good so far

ummm? Im confused. isnt this basically the same thing o.O

yes and no.. if you spawned in waterworld, you would instantly lose all of your gear.. now you do not. That's pretty much the only difference.

[velyse (DayZ) 22]

beyond .45 caliber weapons, in my experience the m1014 seems to be weakened too. zeds often take 2 slugs to kill now unlike the former patch which was 1 shot all the time every time.

Where?

I've search a few different Markets and Office Building and haven't found any.

[bruxaum 18]

Worst problem, not from update, but from the beta patch: The weapon's nerf. Really, it is ridiculous

[Dylan9889 1]

I just want choppers in the air :-) Good so far going to test it a bit now.

We/I hate giving timeframes as it makes people complain when it doesn't actually happen in said timeframe. Very soon, soon enough to start hording your parts ;).

I would have to kill you after...

[Revort (DayZ) 1]

Like a few other people on this thread, I have been stuck on the loading screen after the update.

Wait... So I use sixupdater and it had an update which I now play the beta number that Rocket mentioned in the OP. So, are ghillied suits and stuff spawning for me again?

Not trying to rush or be a bother, but I'm just curious. Why not in this patch? With the radar removed and the desync issues better than they were, what could the hold up be?

[Karbo59 0]

I had tried 3-4 servers and was stuck at loading. I tried some more and then loaded fine I wonder if it is server related?

[ED-E 4]

For those who don't know, here is a list of the weapons affected by the damage nerf:

[DeTaiLz 18]

nice patch, is the gillie suit already out?

[sivart 85]

People will just go and suicide on zombies now. Useless change.

guess we should just remove death entirely. too many ways to die.
