Pending Update: Build 1.7.2.5

[-Cdn-Chard 96]

Great job...

I'd like to politely a about what's happening with off map tents/vehicles? Does the new DayZ code precent savig outside that area and resets or what? I've asked a couple of times but never got a response. With choppers back in the game (oh yeah!!!) I'm worried that they'll all be camped way off the map. (unless you consider off-map as on-map and that changes things)

This is brilliant, no more unlimited ammo. Shit just got more real. You got my beans sir.

* [FIXED] Graphical glitches with barbed wire (Rebinarized file should no longer produce graphical artifacts)

* [FIXED] Graphical glitches with dead bodies (Rebinarized file should no longer produce graphical artifacts)

Thank you so much! These bugs make the game unplayable. I couldn't get through Berezino this weekend because of all the artifacts. Was brutal. :x

Rocket / staff is there any heads up on how to temporarily fix the steam weapon nerf issue until a fix of some sort is available?

headshots or wait for a fix

[Turk (DayZ) 82]

Use Beta patch 95389 or above - rocket

thanks, but obviously i am and have been since 1.7.2.4 was released. didn't you read the post? only thing that may have mislead you was 1.7.1.4 when i meant 2.4 - if i'm using 1.62.0. then as i said the nerf should have been applied but it hasn't.

m1911 & revolver are still 1 shot kills for me (on zombies, i haven't murdered anyone) and i'm using 1.62.0.95389 with dayz 1.7.14 (though i'll use 1.7.2.5 next but that wont change the nerf)

in your previous post you said you were using 93593

i guess thats typo number 2 regardless of the last 5 digits the nerf was included in the main update 1.6.2.0.xxxxxx from 1.6.0.0.xxxxxx that is why i used x's becuase that isn't important Edited July 30, 2012 by Turk

So does this get rid of aborting a game and coming back and your ammo is full again?

Yes

well your typo was the source of confusion. no offense but how am I supposed to figure out what 5 digit number you were trying to type

and you're all over the place with the periods and extra zeros

it's 1.62.95389. I think to be technical it's 1.62.95.389

[kicktd 42]

Anything I use I have manually found at Heli crashes etc. anything that dupes just dumped on the ground when I pack the tent(s) causing the duping. It's annoying yes, does it mean I cheat because I have zomg 1337 gear? No, I've had to search for it and have been storing it up for awhile now. It's one of the only good things about playing solo, but the duping is crazy and honestly it gets to be a job just having to deal with it. I'm at the point now where until this is fixed I'm just going to leave the tents up with the gear in it, everything I've tried hasn't worked yet to prevent it so meh. If rocket says it can't be fixed with the mod version I guess we'll just have to live with it until this goes stand alone. I still would love to see tent saving FIXED though. Having your items be wiped on server restarts sucks.

regardless 1.60. or 1.60.0.xxxxxx hasn't had the nerf 1.62 or 1.62.0.xxxxxx does - the rest isn't important.

thanks for banging us in the but

now its going to be find ammo online and hackers online

[Distance 29]

i think many of us would be happie if you fixed the tents, couse every time we raid the airfield and gets lots of stuff, put it in our tents and veichls its gone upon next server restart :( whats the point in looting when the only spot items and loot does not dissapear is in your backpack and inventory. :)

it seems to be specifically related to the steam patch. it was a large download that replaced files in arma 2 and arma 2 oa. it's conceivable that is did more than just replace the exe files

have you tried 95417 to see if it nurfs your guns?

it's something they need to consider moving forward towards a 'fix'. otherwise a 'fix' that buffs the weapons would give those unaffected by the nerf super-guns

a lot of those beta patches were considered 1.61 btw

so (i don't know which is why i ask) everytime a server is restarted all tents loose their contents?would i be correct in saying that it wouldn't matter if all tents were deleted/reset?

based on the fact the problem with tents is due to their being over a million, the tents with a code of 1 million + are now the 1s causing errors and therefor any tent added from then on will be glitchy.

seems the obvious action is to reset the lot no?

[aenima 4]

Ahhh! Fix the zombies! They still dont hear gunshots no matter what the range.

wrong. maybe not all hear them, or they don't hear every shot- but some came to my position when I wiped out a zombie village with my m249 the other day, standing on a deer stand and enjoying the great view over the town ;)

I have yet to run into this issue, Though I make sure to save 2 or more times everytime I put anything into the tent.

[Donkamints 22]

Yes, I can confirm that tents are still not working properly in the current patch with the newest beta patch. They either dupe their entire inventory on each server reset or they get wiped. I cannot seem to duplicate this bug with any reliability. There is also another bug/exploit I would like to see fixed. If you say pitch a tent and put your gear from your characters inventory and backpack in there, wait a minute, log out, log into another server 99% of the time you have all your gear back on your body and you can just go back to the server with the tent(assuming it hasn't restarted) and all your gear is duped in the tent. Please fix this. Also I have noticed tents that I have placed and then packed up reappear where they were originally placed at, effectively duping the tent itself. I pack them up every time i see them but they just keep coming back. Thanks

[NovaDose 128]

This would be nice.

Rocket has talked about this. Basically, you have to remove the rifle and replace it with a melee weapon due to the animation system - this will generate network traffic. That said, we do somewhat the same thing with moving the axe to/from toolbelt, but I suppose we would do that a lot more often if we could toggle between melee and regular firearm with a key press (storing the rifle in the toolbelt while the axe is used).

The ACEmod for ArmA 2 has a similar feature where you can carry a second primary in addition to a rucksack/launcher.

I've been reading your posts...you sir, know what you are talking about

I agree that a tent wipe will probs be helpful in a first step to fixing the problem but you must realize that the people aren't going to like this at all. The people who still get married to their kit/gear will throw a fit unfortunately.

good point.

1- i don't have the steam version - this maybe the problem but i've yet to see anyone else claim the m1911 or revolver is still a 1 shot.

2- earlier today i was shot 2 or 3 times by a murderer using a revolver so i'd assume the nerf is in effect against me (the nasty little shit only had a clip and liked the look of the aks 74u i was carrying, he chased me as i bled out, i guess hoping i'd drop, after a short run i switched it to full and let 2 clips out in his direction as he was running circles around me with 5 or 6 zeds chasing us, i didn't hang around but he obviously got hit as he must have gone down and the zeds finished him off (sweet sweet karma (btw i never shoot unless shot at), i bandaged in the wood and then retutrned to tea bag him :P (i digress)

3- i've yet to update from :P 1.62.95389/1.7.2.4 but next time i play i will be using 1.62.95714/1.7.2.5 though i doubt i'll see any change as its been 1 shot kills with m1911 & revolver with 3 arma2 updates since 1.62 was released.

"You can't just take and release patch on target date". That's my thoughts.

[Mad Z 51]

So now there is no infinite pistol ammo AND zombies are like tanks? Come on, one or the other.

[superfly541 6]

how about get rid of mike tyson zombies in 1.7.2.5 >:(
