As to the point of complaining that you can't find a server...

If you download right away, you are wanting to be on the bleeding edge. There may be one server, there may be none. The few servers running it might be full.

The patch might not work for a few hours because of some unforeseen circumstance.

If you want a more stable experience, or your choice of lists of servers, wait about six hours, keep playing on the prior patch, and relax and have a good time.

As a side note, remember that the server admins are doing us, the community a service. We have no right to demand that they instantly update. They might have to wait until they get home from work or something.

This has been a public service announcement.

Rocket.. Can you go a little more detail into

[FIXED] Excessive logging of player data in server logs (Disabled https://dev-heaven.net/issues/38784

Looks like we are getting a little less data coming back to the RPT files...This correct? The issue link needs a username and password in order for us commoners to view the issue at hand.

Thanks

Ta very much :thumbsup:

[Kommissar Pinky 11]

Thanks Rocket! as always, your hard work is appreciated!

[rocket 16567]

Note I missed mentioning dayz_sfx is also updated. It is best to redownload all files or use six. Six will only go live when some servers are online.

Server hosters need hive 0.7.3
