"Management of tent/vehicle inventory sync by server rewritten"

could you elaborate on this?

[rocket 16567]

Previously tent, vehicles, and characters simply flagged themselves for update, and the server "got around" to updating them. Characters then changed to also force a save on exit.

I ripped out the entire "flagging" system and now saves are forced (as this was working very well), but they aren't done as often (every 30 seconds). There is a cooldown to vehicles to stop them forcing a save more than once every ten seconds.

To force a save of your vehicle, get in, and then get out. Getting out of a vehicle forces a save of its position.

So we now have rain and thunderstorms synced on every players ?

Thank god. Just 5 hours too late :(

But good job!

[Survivalist_MacLaren 1]

Nice patch! Any idea when direct chat will be working?

[midhaven 0]

Does this mean tents (and it's contents) and vehicles are bound to the character and can be brought to other servers?

[NEW] Sync of player now entirely player driven to reduce server load and hangups

* [NEW] Server database sync of characters heavily optimized to reduce load

Could this have fixed the DC problem???

[rocket 16567]

No, i tested that. I also tested one of my theories (the large group). Unfortunately, the problem has persisted.

It now appears quite likely that its either something else within the mod (looking less likely now), the use of selectPlayer (seems most likely), or something else internally in ArmA2 (unlikely)

Im my opinion, not having direct chat working is the biggest problem yet. This sucks having to talk to people in side chat...

Get a mic and bind a button to direct chat. Text chat sucks anyway..

[exetick 11]

after this patch I have big problems finding/joining US3-4.

when I manage to join I get kicked of for battleeye not responding or Im losing connection to those servers. and its only US 3-4.

[rocket 16567]

Are you running the ArmA2OA Beta? You can only join US4/5 with that.

[romsas 0]

Does all servers crashes than mission starts or only DE ?

[maxovitsj@gmail.com 4]

I can't join anything anymore :/

It's all waiting for host / waiting for server response...

[rocket 16567]

DE might need some assistance. can the hoster contact dayzdevteam@gmail.com

[exetick 11]

Rocket US 3-4-5 is running beta. and yes Im running it.

when I can connect Im losing connection or get kicked for battleeye not responing after 5-10 minutes.

[rick_d 1]

yeah similar problems. conmnection is terrible to many of these servers, maybe they could host on something other than a wooden pc :(

That still only works half of the time, I've been talking to my friends on mumble and then trying to say stuff in direct voice right next to them and they still can't hear it in-game, only through mumble.

[pyroflash 1]

So are vehicles persistent after a server restart?

[MechaGodzilla 5]

Perhaps a stupid thing to ask but can somebody tell me more about these 'monkey' zombies?
