It seems like most people aren't having a good time with it. It's basically a crapshoot as to whether you'll benefit or see no change. I'm one of the lucky ones who isn't seeing anymore graphical glitches, but...

Download DayZ commander or six launcher.

I would recommend DayZ commander myself. http://www.dayzcommander.com/

There is little difference between the two. Biggest difference is probably players numbers... 65% of server are 1.7.2.5, 24% are 1.7.2.4 and the rest on older versions. I don't see any reason why you wouldn't want to update.

Get DayZ commander, it is easy to do using this program.

What about the "Loading" screen issues i have heard of, are they a massive problem?

Disconnect normally and it shouldn't happen. I only run into this when I have to disconnect via ALTF4 when I fail to load into a server. Its almost like it was intended to stop players from quick disconnects to avoid death or server hoppers.

I only can tell you what i have experienced so far with 1.7.2.5.

Graphical problems are very rare now for me, and can still be fixed with restarting the Game. I can play 5 hours without experiencing any problems, but then i get it twice in an hour, so its hard to tell whats wrong.

I think, that those loading screen issues mostly are caused, by getting kicked from the server, when loading, because often when i had this issue, my friends told me i got kicked for some reason, but i didn't get notifyed about that. Loading times are (now) realy good for me, since i use a SSD.

One thing i have heard, but can't realy confirm that it is true, that there are no more vehicles respawning.

Updating is easy:

1. Download the DayZ-1.7.2.5.rar file

2. extract it

3. go into you DayZ folder

4. put all files into your addons folder (either keep the old files renamed or replace them, you choise)

5. play

i'm still getting graphics glitches with .5 gutted

.5 was only a hot fix to attempt to fix the graphic glitches. It works on some not on others. It is worth updating so you connect to most the servers.
