This won't stop me logging into servers that don't require it? Apologies in advance for being a noob!

Nope. They are always backwards compatible.

Thanks I wonder if this: https://dev-heaven.net/issues/25348 will fix the zombie warping through walls.

And what about doors? Are they still warping through?

[BigMorgan (DayZ) 3]

Nope. They are always backwards compatible.

There have been a few times that a beta patch required a version change. Best to double-check before installing. :)

I get a 10FPS increase for no apparent reason.

[joote 1]

I used to play with a res of 1280x720 with AA turned off.

Now combined with the beta patch and some performance tweaks done with the Arma 2 Launcher, i could up to 1600x900 with AA on low.. and still have a favourable amount of fps.

I would recommend the Launcher aswell, found on armaholic. =]

Slightly confused, I have the steam version and the last update was marked Dec of 2011.

Doesn't Steam automatically update or do I have to do this myself?

because it has yet to update anything, my version is marked 1.60

Bohemia Interactive releases so called beta patches for those who want to try the new features out before they are actually released in a full patch.

Thanks for the info, what would be your recommendation? I mean if I do get it will effect me gaming with others with DayZ?

[MrBloodworth 1]

Just wait for the official patch.

[worbat 13]

It also means we can tell them if the fixes actually work or not!

[Miami_bat 5]

Thanks guys I'll wait. :D

Fixed: Action taking magazine from a backback has sometimes failed

Fixed: MP: Loosing gear due to water no longer multiplied for each player

Fixed: Soldier running instead of crawling through holes

Optimized: Faster preload in multiplayer

Some nice changes, should make dayz a bit smoother :)

I would recommend downloading it. If it fixes the Direct Communication, it will have a big impact in dayZ, because you can then reliably communicate with strangers in Direct Communication channel (they hear voice coming from your character and it fades over distance). You can still play on non-beta servers with the beta patch too. It might take months before Bohemia Interactive releases next full patch.

Fixed: LOD blending not working reliably

Does this mean....

NO. MORE. TEXTURE. POPPING.!!!

Please confirm is yes I'll jizz me jeans.

Good news! We've been testing this latest patch a bit, and so far direct comm has worked for everyone.
