Servers Rolling Back from 1.7.2.6?

[puppetworx 474]

So I updated completely so I could join my favourite server on the latest release, when the ARMA 2 Beta update finally arrived I found that the server was offline along with a bunch of my other favorited servers. It's half an hour later now and one of the servers is back up but it has rolled back to 1.7.2.5/96061, anybody else experiencing this and know what the reason is?

Maybe they rolled back because a lot of players haven't updated yet?

Probably, I'm not updating until 4:30 PM UTC+10.

It's not that because the server was almost full before it went offline (unusual on a weekday night), all the 1.7.2.6 server I see up just now are highly populated too. There's lots of demand for 1.7.2.6 servers from players I think.

Has anyone noted any significant drawbacks from the update?

There's a hack that was released a couple days back that is undetected by battle eye atm, which allows people to take all vehicles, etc. take them to one spot and do what they will. Which isn't a big deal on 1.7.2.5 since they'll revert back upon a restart, but in 1.7.2.6 the saving is fixed, so if this hack occurs, and someone teleports all vehicles to, say, skalisty, destroys them all, then your whole server is without vehicles for a week.

The information here is paraphrased from another post here on the forums:

Thanks for the info. My main server just came back online updated and sure enough my vehicles are gone, not that it was necessarily scripters. My other favored servers have all reverted.

Always take awhile for the community to update, some are in the wait and see approach while others want to give their players a little time to update as well. Hopefully this patch fixes many of the issues, but I am a patient man who never minded playing around the problems.
