Icarus619 (DayZ) 3 Posted August 30, 2012 Hi, i got a question. Since 1.7.2.5 is not working properly (Not saving vehicles etc) we dowgraded our Server to 1.7.2.4 and it is working fine now. We now got us some nice vehicles and tents. Now 1.7.3 is announced and we want to upgrade to it as soon as it is released. But does this delete our camp or not?

venthos 605 Posted August 30, 2012 Unsurprisingly, the DayZ community has no knowledge about a patch that has not yet released. :PI imagine that you would be fine since the problem is with the server's method of saving TO the hive (but once saved on the hive, it's all good). In theory, you could upgrade to 1.7.2.5 and have your camps/cars still be fine but permanently stuck at their last "save" and no longer able to be saved at a new state/location. But, this is all wild assumption based on theory and not fact. The only person capable of answering this question is Rocket. I'm not sure who you expect would have proper information on this otherwise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SmashT 10907 Posted August 30, 2012 (edited) I wouldn't assume it would, unless you requested a new instance ID, we aren't going to know for sure until it is released though. Edited August 30, 2012 by smasht_AU Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icarus619 (DayZ) 3 Posted August 30, 2012 Thank you guys. I had the same thought: Ones saved to the hive it should load the cars on the right location! But i never updated a server.. so my question was kinda general, you know? What were your experience upgrading to 1.7.2.4? Did Servers erase cars? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

venthos 605 Posted August 30, 2012 I came late to the party, so my server was started on 1.7.2.5 and has never run a different version. I am against downgrading servers myself, so I chose not to downgrade my own server. I will only run the latest'n'greatest in spite of any bugs. I wouldn't be of any help in providing any advice/information on 1.7.2.4 and downgrade/upgrades as a result. Sorry :\ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it is so, i assujme that all other vehicles will do the same then... but loot is not saving, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
christopherwright_75@hotmail.co.uk 109 Posted August 30, 2012 Your meant to be running a server for a mod in alpha not chopping and changing versions so you and your manchild fag buddies can hoard up all the vehicles. I hope you get blacklisted so never find out if an update does what you wonder or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icarus619 (DayZ) 3 Posted August 30, 2012 What the hell? We downgraded cause it didnt make any sense to go on without the possibility to save loot in tents or vehicles. But on 1.7.2.4 no on joins the server. And without that it doesnt make fun... there is no danger to die and it diesnt make any sense too... but we got a Pick Up and two ATVs... is that hording?! We just would like to know if this is gone after an upgrade or not... what is wrong with that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pvt. Kairis 14 Posted August 30, 2012 Well, everything that was saved on 1.7.4 is saved exactly in state when you update to 1.7.5 (although recomend you save it again 1st thing you do to be sure) all loot etc is saved, basicly everything is put on ice and everyrestart respawns it again...(notice a problem ppl?)just hope 1.7.3 fixes all this.....remember when you first got the DMR or somthing and it was amazing....now fresh spawns can get as50's(even with tws) nvgs etc within 30mins....or get shot by one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icarus619 (DayZ) 3 Posted September 1, 2012 So I did the upgrade to 1.7.2.5 and can now confirm that it does NOT work. First day after update everything seemed fine. But then, after another scheduled restart everything dissappeared, all our tents and vehicles! So it just worked from update till first restart under 1.7.2.5. Now we are sitting hear with nothing but our gear.5 following restarts didn't change anything. Anyone of you did the same and can confirm this? Or had anyone some other experience?
