I just testedthe "debug" DayZ UI. It does not show if one is bleeding (no flashing of the cross), or how visible and audible one is.

Congratulations on being one of the many people today who will not actually read Rocket's changelog. Please read through the changelog again, feel aptly embarrassed, and have your answer thusly.

So I myself am updated to the newest version but how do i update my server? I haven't had anything for the update yet. Thanks.

Hey Rocket just tiny cometic thing. To avoid most of the confusion, just do the thing and codify what most people subconsciouly knows. It is not version 1.7.2.6 but 0.1.7.26.

We all know that, but some people are just not that good with subtext.

Rocket confirmed the patch included a solution for tent saving.

People said previously in another thread that tents still didn't work. Can somebody please confirm if it's working or not? (I'd test it but I don't own a server and the server my tent is in didn't update yet).

I didn't see any official mention of vehicles, might stick with my 1.7.2.5 with tent+vehicle hotfix for now

Where is that other thread where people said it didn't work still?

Anyway, I'm guessing you need some patience before we get some confirmation about the tent/vehicle saving fix. People need to update the servers, clients need to update their game and servers need te be restarted multiple times before anything certain can be said i would think.

well im going to go try it out and hope to god nothing werse arises,if it is true thank you for the tent/vehicle fix. would be nice to wipe all tents tho since they all have like 5 as50 and l85a2 aws

After updating our server and hive file, we are getting this: This server is running an incorrect version of the server side application. You cannot play on this server. If you are the server admin please contact DayZ staff.

I'm having the same problem connecting to servers.

I'm having the same problem connecting to servers.

We did a FRESH install of server files and we fixed the issue. You should be able to get into US 1211 now!

Thanks, found it. Very informative post. Lets see if the DEVs have picked it up.

I sincerely hope you test the saving of vehicles and tents before you assume that fix (#41502) actually fixes it. I had modified my server code with that fix as well, and it didn't work. After quite some investigation it seems that servers after a certain instance are experiencing problems that are not fixed with this fix. Only tents save the first time, which is explainable:

- Player sets up a new tent on the server, gets id: 132699331640165

- Player (with fix #41502) can save the tent as often as it wants. Hyve updates in the log show the correct id in the string (132699331640165)

- Server restarts

- Tent has the contents as before the server went down. ObjectID of the tent however is now "2.75986e+006".

- Any subsequent saves of the tent fail - the hyve tries to update an object with id "2.75986e+006" which does not exist and silently fails (no error).

The same problem occurs with vehicles. They are loaded from the database with bad id's, hence they never save.

Earlier servers don't have this problem, because their vehicles have id's that are not corrupted on server load (presumably because their id's are low enough to not be converted in e+006 formats).

HUEY saved location but fuel was completely empty.

Most likely the cause is the fact that your heli isn't completely repaired. You must have all glass repaired as well to keep it from leaking fuel out.

Yes, vehicles and tents fixed. I just missed that from the notes.

Last weekend I was at PAX Prime in Seattle, weekend before I was at Gamescom in Germany. That's two burned weekends in a row. And I just arrived back from a trans-atlantic flight, so cut me a little bit of slack :) I'm tired :)

My pleasure ^_^

Wow, Rocket answered. :D

Still gonna wait for the players to test until I can check for myself.

And now back to the waiting game.
