Problem with zombie agro or intentional?

[Oddzball 70]

Has anyone noticed that zombies are now agroing form like a mile away? Even when you are crouched?

Is this intentional or a bug? It seems kind of ridiculous that a zombie saw me from that far away.

It's a "bug". The zombies were supposed to be able to see you from farther, but not as far as they some ties aggro. Then there's the zombies that let you leap-frog them and they have no idea. I'm sure it'll be fixed in 1.7.3.

im hoping its a bug, and for the same reason i started playing at night because you can be 3ft from them, and so long as your not making noise creeping by them they dont agro

oh and btw... for those that dont know yet, if u have agro run into a pine tree and hug the trunk ! this negates the agro

Has anyone looked inside the dayz_code.pbo and checked out the code? maybe it is a simple fix.

I seem to find I catch aggro from insane ranges when I changed from a crouch stance to going prone. I can be running straight up and when I lie down then I aggro though... its very strange.

If you aggro, run to a bush/pine tree immediately crouch when you get to the other side, if there is a enough distance they will lose you. In a city it is so easy, you just run into a house out the other door and crouch walk away.
