What did the hotfix fix? Not seeing what it changed?

The hotfix was for an FPS issue.

Pending Update 1.7.1 Details
Rough outline of what to expect in the pending update.
I will update this as more stuff is put in. Changelog will then follow it.
Performance and Optimization
- Reduction/elimination of the new server lag. This is caused by the ArmA2 server expecting immediate response from the central server. Vehicles are the main cause of this, as whenever they are damaged everything stops while the server ensures this is recorded in the database.
- Bugs fixed that were possibly causing very significant netcode overhead (will need mass-scale testing to verify this).
Infected Behavior
- Infected can no longer see/attack through walls.
- Entirely new mocap'd attack and running animations
Content
- Additional Idle Infected sounds
- Revised Attack sounds
- Many new action sounds, including IV, bandaging etc...
Notes
- This update will REQUIRE the beta patch, so it is worth installing this now and getting used to it.
- Read up at the BI Forums about the beta patch install. It's pretty easy.

Infected Behavior
- Infected can no longer see/attack through walls.
- Entirely new mocap'd attack and running animations
Does this mean no more stupid zigzag?? Oh please god yes!
Also no more attacking through walls, yay
-
No attacking through walls is great. Now if they would just fix that bug where they can run through closed doors :|
-
Thanks for the post fluffy.
Fixing the zeds attacking through walls has been a major gripe for me since i picked up the game, this will be good. As for them fixing the pathing the zombies take, i dont think thats a priority because if they DO manage to fix that, there will be almost no threat to the zeds at all anymore. If i can easily predict where they will be running, I can shoot them from alot further away safer without wasting ammo.

Changelog:
* [FIXED] Wire Spools, Toolboxes, hedgehog (tank trap) kits not spawning
* [FIXED] Bodies still being deleted too quickly sometimes
* [FIXED] No backpacks or medical boxes spawning
* [FIXED] "No Speaker..." debug report spam
* [FIXED] Infected spawning too close to players (minimum 30m now)
* [FIXED] Infected not spawning inside buildings any more
* [NEW] Infected can't attack through walls
* [NEW] Infected can't see through objects any more
* [NEW] Infected visibility increased (but limited by LOS)

Sweet!

Confirmed this in 93666, even rolled back to an older version to test. Setting brightness/gamma and HDR to max do not increase night vision.
-
[NEW] Optimized server cleanup routine
Wait does this mean i wont need to use flush anymore? I hope so :D
-
I've already got a work around for that, you can force it on your hardware, or if you have certain monitors you can set them to equalize the black so that all other colors are easier to see ;0).
-
How to force it on your hardware?!?1+1
-
Turning up gamma and brightness is for nubs.
-
* [NEW] Player body exists for five seconds after disconnect
Rocket is awesome.
-
Fuck yes! God i hate it when the enemy dces to save their ass
-
Yep. 5 seconds isn't much, but if that feature was implemented before 25-50% of people who DCed on me woulda be dead, so it's definitely something.
-
Any word when all this is out?
-
NEGATORY
-
How to force it on your hardware?!?1+1
Sorry, I've been asked to not share that by the Dev team. Sent in a report and how to do it on their own machines, they sent it over to BI, hopefully it'll be fixed soon.
I can see the five second thing causing problems for me... I don't tend to disconnect (I think I've done it once on purpose) when fighting/running from zeds... But if when the zeds spawn in doors, and under the floor like they used to, then you log off feeling perfectly safe only to log in dead...
Also if your just logging off under a tree in the wilderness (like I usually do :P) and a player happens to come upon you, your fucked. Or at least if I come upon you. Five seconds is plenty of time to fill you full of lead from my baby (mk48 mod 0). I know I'd be aggravated to log out in a perfectly safe spot (or at least as far as I know) and log in dead with no chance to have saved myself :P.
-
* [NEW] 30Rnd_545x39_AK added to loot table
Good, more weapons is something I can get behind.. I'd love to find more new things that I haven't used before :P.

That sounds like ammo, not a weapon.

Build 1.7.1 Rolling Update
Notes
READ THESE NOTES: PARTICULARLY - RAY-CASTING DOES NOT WORK INSIDE SOME BUILDINGS SO IT IS DISABLED INSIDE FOR ALL. PLEASE DO NOT COMMENT ON HIT THROUGH WALLS IN BUILDINGS, BECAUSE RAYTRACING IS DISABLED INSIDE THE BUILDING. IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE, AND IT IS OUTLINED IN THE BUILD NOTES.
- This update will REQUIRE the beta patch, so it is worth installing this now and getting used to it. It's pretty easy.
- Server Admins: you need to update dayz_server.pbo. File has been updated.

* [NEW] DayZ: Now with additional cruelty! Spawn with only a bandage, painkillers, and a torch.
Oww ffs... not even a Makarov?
-
Oww ffs... not even a Makarov?
Nope. And the torch even goes into your backpack to avoid noobs running around with it out. How kind :lol:
Edit:
From reading the forums. Apprently the line of sight thing is borked and zombies can see you through objects. So with the increase difficulty it makes hiding from them near impossible in populated areas.
Also zombie respawn rate is supposedly to high again. So a minute after killing a zombie another one respawns in it's place. Apparently making looting insanely hard.
And they can still hit through walls.
So basically the biggest changes in the patch didn't even work :lol:
Also apparently there's a bug with deerstands where if you kill a zombie multiple zombies spawn almost immediately in its place. Many people are reporting to having died in a deer tower with hordes of zombies at the base of it :)
The loot and zombie spawn timer isn't working, hence the FPS issues for some people and the billions of zombies. I tried a new mechanism for this update, it works with small numbers of players but stops with large numbers.
Likely be a hotfix, not within 24 hours, but definitely within 48 hours.
-
They added spawning without a gun with no melee option? :/ not sure if like
Oh so the big patch is out already, nice, but if the most important stuff isn't working yet I'll be waiting for the fix before playing.
-
Yeah it sounds as though even experienced players are dying in droves with these changes. I'm going to wait till these are fixed before playing again.
-
Well, just updated and had a quick look around since I am savely positioned at a forest border outside a rather big town...
Just having a quick look through the scope of my CZ - which was made even louder if I understood the forum discussion about it correctly - and have a lookout for the new animations for the Z.
First thing I noticed was missing sound but when I checked my sound options everything seems to be ok. A little chat on the server and people told me that it's an issue between 1.7 server and 1.7.1 clients.
Anyway... w/o sound playing isnt really an option so I gonna wait for the upcoming hotfix Rocket promised. "Not in 24 but surely in 48 hours".
-
Playing immediately after a patch release is asking to be killed by a new bug. Just give it a couple of hours/days.
-
As far as I know patches are created to remove bugs, not to add dozens of more. Why release a patch if you haven't even playtested it?
-
It's an Alpha!
Every single server is a test server...
WE are playtesting.
-
As far as I know patches are created to remove bugs, not to add dozens of more. Why release a patch if you haven't even playtested it?
Because it's alpha -- actually alpha, not WotR alpha. YOU are the playtester. The patches in alpha are adding content and he's only removing bugs to keep it playable (=play testable). The serious bug removal will come later.
Also zombie respawn rate is supposedly to high again. So a minute after killing a zombie another one respawns in it's place. Apparently making looting insanely hard.
And they can still hit through walls.
So basically the biggest changes in the patch didn't even work :lol:
Zombies were spawning a minute after you killed them in 1.7.0 too, making clearing towns impossible.
The patchnotes say that zombies hitting through walls is not patched yet.
-
It's an alpha, while Rocket said that he isn't going to go out of alpha in ArmA 2. Say whatever you want, but the way DayZ grew makes the whole "alpha" thing unnecessary, especially considering that when DayZ finally gets out of alpha(probably 1-2 years), there won't be a fanbase like it has now.
Say what you want, but if Rocket develops this as if it is a closed alpha with a small amount of playtesters, he is doomed to fail and more and more people will start losing interest in it.

A minute was overestimating. This is more like seconds :P And hardly...after killing zombies they tended to stay dead for a long time for me. I'd be able to clear out several apartments quite easily after killing a few. And yes it does say that but it was added after rocket later so when I copied and pasted the patch notes I didn't re-read them.
-

A mod that has 250.000 players, which is more than a lot of MMO's and other multiplayer games, can't just release a patch and say "Yeah but we're just alpha guys! enjoy losing all your stuff because we messed up this patch and remember, you're all just playtesting!", it's the wrong mentality to have.
Go on, begin somewhere, I'm interested in hearing "But it's just an alpha!" arguments, haven't had a good discussion in a while.

* [NEW] 30Rnd_545x39_AK added to loot table
Good, more weapons is something I can get behind.. I'd love to find more new things that I haven't used before :P.
Isn't that just a 30 round magazine for the AK?

The mod sure as hell can, you aren't paying for it. Fuck he refused to allow people to donate to him at all. It's an alpha, a true alpha and if you don't want to put up with an alpha build, then you probably should just stop playing and go do something else. There is no argument, you either deal with it or leave.
-
Already stopped a few days ago, the new Notch is getting more and more power and attention, this is going to turn out fun.
But as I said, and you would know if you had read the other threads, the dayz forums, any other place where dayz is getting discussed on the internet, talked to somebody, or even played yourself, you'd realize the new patch fucked it up, I don't care about alpha, I don't care about beta, it's not a valid argument when something works fine, you want to make it more "hardcore" for more "hardcore people" because surviving is so hard and rocket wants to feed on the delicious tears of carebears and all that shit he keeps spouting on the forums, and than end up making it unplayable.
-
Unplayable? I've played for a few hours today and didn't really have any problems other than the zombie spawns being high, of course it seems that if you use a quieter weapon zombies don't spawn as soon/as many in that area. I don't get what people are crying about, it's supposed to be difficult, it became easy, he made it difficult again.

It's more the fact that the line of sight, hitting through walls, crazy zig-zagging isn't fixed. So he upped the strength of zombies massively without actually fixing those issues and screwed up the spawn rate (ok so he's fixing it asap). It should have been done the other way round, fix the issues then up the strength after. Regardless, it is alpha so I expect these things to go wrong. I just won't play until it's all fixed.

You realize it isn't in alpha stage because he went like "damn, I really do love having this in alpha" and he can't snap his fingers and go "OH WELL enough of that, full product out NOW"

Go on, begin somewhere, I'm interested in hearing "But it's just an alpha!" arguments, haven't had a good discussion in a while.
Lol, just lol. I seriously doubt I can explain this to you no matter how hard I try, you have already convinced me your thinking is on a level of a rock.
It doesn't matter how many players it has. Everyone who had a brain cell to read that this mod is in ALPHA stage before even downloading (you didn't miss the big ALPHA TEST sign when downloading, did you?) actually agreed that they're alpha testers.
So yeah, they can go "deal with it guys, it's alpha". Simple as that.
Also ulya = perfect example why real alpha/beta tests are usually closed, another brain dead being that doesn't understand he isn't actually playing a demo/almost finished version.
-
No vibe, I just think it's rediculous to use BUT GUYS, IT'S AN ALPHA!, when the dev confirmed the mod won't be leaving alpha. And no, I didn't miss the big ALPHA sign, but my point remains: if you think it's acceptable to release a bugged patch, 20 days after the previous patch, which barely did anything either, than you're the brain dead here.
I like it how you started with "I don't know where to begin", and in the end you did nothing but insult me, adding no counter arguments at all. Atleast bring up an argument rather than spam ALPHA ALPHA ALPHA ALPHA, 1.7.1 is a bad patch, rocket is messing up more and more while spending half of the time posting LOLOLOL I TROLL U, this has nothing to do with my thinking level.
The reason why real alpha/beta tests are usually closed in the beginning, is because they need to slowly stress their serves, have a small group of people going after the bugs, seeing if it's all working, and after that invite more and more people, untill eventually going into open alpha/beta. Releasing a mod, claiming it's in alpha, messing up a lot of things, making fun of the people that play your mod and "trolling" on the forums, no, that's not acceptable.
You are like the typical rocket fanboy on the dayz forums right now, yes Mister rocket please make zombies even harder, make them impossible to kill, make them spawn 10 times more, make them fly around the map, give them all DMR's with 100% accuracy! Yes that makes the game much harder! It will be so much more fun this way! What, you don't like dieing? You are just a carebear, yes all your tears are delicious! Don't you wish you died 20 times per minute like me? Look how much fun I am having! Oh yes rocket, put it in deeper!
I'm not sure if you've been following these threads, but I've stood behind dayz and rocket pretty much all the time, but I don't support the direction rocket and his fanboys are taking this.
And Xant, now I reread it it might have sounded wrong, but what I mean is: Once you have 250.000 people that are playing your mod, you aren't supposed to keep releasing random things in the hope of it working, it's better to playtest them before even bringing it into alpha. Ofcourse there will be bugs, ofcourse there won't be a final release, that's where you say BUT IT'S ALPHA! but I think it's stupid to release a patch that messes up the experience for that many people, while adding more and more bugs/unfinished features, and if you say BUT IT'S ALPHA! in this situation, you are being like a 13 year old that got his first crush, like Vibe is acting right now, insulting anything and everybody that says something negative about his crush.
-
No vibe, I just think it's rediculous to use BUT GUYS, IT'S AN ALPHA!, when the dev confirmed the mod won't be leaving Alpha in ArmA 2, it's stuck in alpha. And no, I didn't miss the big ALPHA sign, but my point remains: if you think it's acceptable to release a bugged patch, 20 days after the previous patch, which barely did anything either, than you're the brain dead here.

Everything they are doing in Arma2 is pretty much alpha testing dayz for Arma3. In that sense it is in alpha. Arma3 is in development so they are simply figuring out what works and what doesn't as a lot of it will be portable to Arma3. It's already been discussed by rocket and others that Dayz will be on Arma3. Either as a separate purchasable item or included as a pre-installed and regularly updated mod for the game.

Double post but on that note:

What? You realize ArmA 3 will be released soon and Bohemia will be very interested in it being a DLC, or even a separate game using their engine? Also where did rocket confirm it won't leave alpha in ArmA 2?
Sorry Ulya, but you're the brain dead person here if you think it's unacceptable to release a patch that has bugs in an alpha....
How is rocket messing up at all? 1.7.1 is a great patch in theory, a move in the right direction. Being able to hide from zombies and them having a line of sight is great.
The mod has been in alpha for a bit more than a month....
Frankly, who the fuck are you to tell rocket what's acceptable or not? You haven't given him a single cent.
-
The direction 1.7.1 is going, fine, releasing 1.7.1 when half of the features that make it playable aren't working, absolutely not fine.

They don't particularly test those features. We do. They do the coding, we play the game to see if that has worked. If it hasn't, they change it and try to make it better. It's not an overly complex idea.

You are like the typical rocket fanboy on the dayz forums right now, yes Mister rocket please make zombies even harder, make them impossible to kill, make them spawn 10 times more, make them fly around the map, give them all DMR's with 100% accuracy! Yes that makes the game much harder! It will be so much more fun this way! What, you don't like dieing? You are just a carebear, yes all your tears are delicious! Don't you wish you died 20 times per minute like me? Look how much fun I am having! Oh yes rocket, put it in deeper!
I'm not sure if you've been following these threads, but I've stood behind dayz and rocket pretty much all the time, but I don't support the direction rocket and his fanboys are taking this.
And Xant, now I reread it it might have sounded wrong, but what I mean is: Once you have 250.000 people that are playing your mod, you aren't supposed to keep releasing random things in the hope of it working, it's better to playtest them before even bringing it into alpha. Ofcourse there will be bugs, ofcourse there won't be a final release, that's where you say BUT IT'S ALPHA! but I think it's stupid to release a patch that messes up the experience for that many people, while adding more and more bugs/unfinished features, and if you say BUT IT'S ALPHA! in this situation, you are being like a 13 year old that got his first crush, like Vibe is acting right now, insulting anything and everybody that says something negative about his crush.
If this was any other mod I would let you off by just accepting you simply can't grasp what alpha tests are about. But this is dayz and rocket, who hotfixes stuff in a matter of hours usually and yet you are complaining because one patch introduced new bugs? Guess what man, this is what alpha is about. IT IS ACCEPTABLE TO RELEASE A BUGGED PATCH. They make a new patch, introduce new features and previous fixes, new bugs appear, we test, report, they fix - is that so hard to get? They don't need to test all scenarios before releasing an alpha patch, because we are there to do that (and it doesn't matter how many people are testing).
Also from your whine I take it this mod is getting too hardcore for you, oh well there's always l4d rite
-

You just can't accept you're wrong lol.

No1 ever can
-
Also from your whine I take it this mod is getting too hardcore for you, oh well there's always l4d rite
Didn't expect any worse argument from you, rocket increases amount of zombies, increases their strength, increases their visibility, which means that he wants you to kill zombies, and you tell me to go play l4d? Pathetic, this mod has nothing to do with hardcore, I know it and you know it, getting loot is piss easy, surviving is even easier and making zombies harder encourages even more passive play and snipers.
You are worse than the people on the dayz forums.
"Too hardcore for you, don't you wish you were as hardcore as I am? I can sit outside of cherno and snipe people look how hardcore I am! Oh look zombies got supervision now and can spot you from 3000m, rocket best dev. It is not a bug it is a feature!"
And as I said, bugs are acceptable in alpha, it's why it is in alpha, but what gave Rocket the oh so brilliant idea to make you spawn without weapons, make the zombies 10 times harder, while not being 100% sure that the features that made it possible worked. It would take 1 hour on a testserver to get the information he needed, instead he spends that time going LOLOLOL I TROLL U on the forums, and you rocket fanboys will eat it up and join him in his "trolling", pathetic.
As I said before in the post before, this discussion is pointless because of the BUT ITS ALPHA BUT ITS ALPHA ITS ACCEPTABLE TO GET HIS COCK UP DEEP BECAUSE ITS ALPHA spam, and honestly, if you want to accept it, than go by all means go ahead, I stoped playing DayZ a while ago because it lost its appeal to me, I just expressed my opinion trough a small post after which Rocket Defense Force member Vibe went full defense and started insulting me, ofcourse I will reply.
-
So why are you crying here if you stopped playing? And even if you were still playing it's hard waiting a bit for the fixes to come in right? Or maybe you actually believe your senseless whining will speed up the fixes?
"He should've tested this and that for x hours before releasing", "the patch should be 100% working before released"?
Why are we, the alpha testers, here then for?
Either way, the point stands:
I seriously doubt I can explain this to you no matter how hard I try
-
I'm not crying, I made one single post about how I think they should playtest certain things in private despite it being alpha. I doubt Rocket comes here so I doubt any of my posts will do anything of value. I'm just an extremely bored person that has a fetish for complaining.
I think the sentence you quoted applies more for yourself, as I made it clear that bugs are completely acceptable, but gamebreaking things could be playtested a little bit instead of trolling on the forums, to have a better enviroment for the players to find the actual bugs in.

If only your complaints made any sense.

If only you would be able to understand them.

What's not to understand? You as an alpha tester want alpha patches to be completely tested out and working 100% before being handed out to the testers... yes it makes perfect sense

You tried by constantly calling me names, not reading my posts, putting words in my mouth and continueing the dicussion when I already said it was pointless and we'd best stop it.
No, you are being the fool here.
-
Well, spawning w/o even a pistol is kinda stupid as a design decision.
Why? I like it. He has some reasons behind that as well which are pretty good. Like more reason to team up and not shoot a guy who just spawned. Before you'd have shot them because they're a threat.
-

That might be true for DayZ players, but Call of DayZ players will shoot pretty much everyone for no particular reason.
A good change nonetheless.
-
Some people are reporting a positive change, some aren't. So it goes. Even a bit more teamwork is an improvement.
Although the first time I'd see weaponless survivors, I don't think I'd be able to resist the urge to shoot them in the foot and watch them crawl.
-
Melee and knives is what it needs. Not as a primary way of killing zombies, but more as a last resort (if you're out of ammo). Also beach knife wars.
-
Haha. Melee should be something that's incredibly dangerous. Like, you're gonna take damage no matter what, unless you get someone from behind. That way you wouldn't just be able to melee zombies silently forever.
And having a knife fight with someone over beans would be amazing. And pretty damn realistic too! AS THE SAYING GOES, there is no winner in a knife fight. You're going to kill the other guy, but you'd be bleeding as well.

I like you more.
And me too I wondered when I first logged into the game, why cant I sneak on a zombie and melee him silently ? Even though you already have silenced weapons and ammunitions, but they are rare (to me at least).
But I think having melee weapons would lead to a major decrease in difficulty (you produce near to no sound when you are crouching, easy chain zombie kill if you manage to get them from behind) and that isnt where the game is going.
Maybe if you did produce sound enough for sneaking on a zombie extremely difficult, and if those melee weapons were quite as rare as silenced weapons and ammo, it would be a very good suggestion.
The only thing I disagree in your post on the dayz forum Umbra is spawning with a melee weapon.

I do this.. Constantly. I sat down on the coast all day yesterday and shot new spawns in the legs every time and left them their.

Melee weapons. Something this game does need. Even if they are a last resort, you take significant damage due to proximity and may not do a huge amount of damage it gives nubs a much better chance now there's the no spawn with weapon. I mean hatchets are oddly common in this game.

Ok wut this is for real, melee weapons!!! :O

Down rank for insulting a Lord, I like it. Should be hanged, but the mighty chadz is merciful.
Back to topic now:
It seems the problem with 10-15 minute crashes is when you drop a crowbar/hatchet it spawns multiples of them causing the crash
-
Yea. Rocket's already release two hotfixes in as many days (which have also had new features), so I'm just gonna wait until a new hotfix.
Shame though, really want to try melee weapons. Some people on the forums are saying they'be been killing zombies just with the melee weapons. And players too.

So did anyone try melee yet?
Is it intuitive, does it look good? Is it effective?
-
No idea but I noticed this post:
Hatchets and Melee.
Bugs/oversights:
-Bullet/decal is still present.
-Attachment point is not respected in regards to transforms during many animations ( No inheritance ).
-Need to reload is still present.
-ArmA 2 guns are checked from the chamber, the location of the chamber on melee needs to be looked at. Does not match cross hair, or blade/working edge of the object.
-Severe knock back at times.
Observations:
This item needs to be a equipable weapon ( Like guns/flashlights ), current method of attack non-intuitive/clunky.

Visual and sound detection has been buffed so high, you cant crouch run through bushes without being detected (AT NIGHT!) through villages or shit like that.
Crouch walking or crawl running is moderately dangerous at medium range, and crawl walking is still midly dangerous at short range :?
Dunno for you but I dont want to take 2 hours looting a small village, nor do I like aggroing the whole village if I ever let go of shift while I crouch :lol:
Will wait for hotfix of Z detection. Actually they are even better at spotting than humans with binoculars and gamma to the max.
-
Hotfix for Z detection? Implying something is broken.
Now you'll either need to be patient, take the zombies out silently (crossbow, melee, suppressed weapons) or just shoot them with a louder gun.
-
* [NEW] Once infected lose line-of-sight they will try investigate where you are
Sounds interesting. Rather have them react to LOS and sound investigation rather than directly going to the source. They should just turn/walk/run towards the direction of the noise until they see something.

Now you'll either need to be patient, take the zombies out silently (crossbow, melee, suppressed weapons) or just shoot them with a louder gun.
Maybe im not hardcore enough to deal with this, I admit; but there is still the chance that all the people complaining about the too high Z detection will force rocket to revert back to a previous and easier level (thats what I would like anyway :rolleyes:)
Sounds interesting. Rather have them react to LOS and sound investigation rather than directly going to the source. They should just turn/walk/run towards the direction of the noise until they see something.
The idea is interesting, because in 1.7.1.1 you just had to break LOS and they would suddenly stop running (this lead to many houses/building being completely overrun by zombies because players kite them in and then run outside and lost them inside :lol: ); but actually in the game as soon as you break the LOS, they will investigate TOWARD YOU (wherever you are gone, even if you made no sound), and not in the "area" they stopped seeing you, leading to a 99% chance of being detected again if you dont haul ass as fast as possible (which is almost impossible due to ridiculously high audio detection even when you crouch, combo of death).
P.S.: I tested melee, and I dont understand why rocket says "melee will get his damage buffed soon", because I actually took out dozens of them with a hatchet :mrgreen: ok I was in a building and I chain-killed them without retalation from them, but even out in the open, if you only have 1 or 2 Z on you, you can backpedal and kill them really fast, without sound. Really great stuff.
Tbh, if it wasnt for the melee weapons, game would be near totally impossible actually, with the wallhacking/super senses/running through metal doors zombies.
And the loots are cool again.

Nice, seems they won't spot/hear you from a mile anymore

After I died, spawned 3 times at Cherno.
Every time I made like 10 steps crouched and got spotted from a mile away.
I tried to blind them with my flashlight but it didnt work. :cry:
-
Jeez zombies are strong now. Was checking apartments in Cherno and when they said they re-added zombies spawning in buildings I was expecting quite so many. Got chased into an apartment by 3-4 zombies and then ran straight into several others. That was after killing 5 in one of the tall apartments. I took 2 hits from them and was passed out, broken bone and bleeding whilst still being hit. By the time I got up again I didn't have time to bandage or kill them. Pretty pissed as I had my ideal weapons.
Think zombies are to far the other way in damage now and in my opinion you still make far to much noise. Proning during the day with a zombie walking away from me I had one hear me from 10-15m away. Kinda makes proning pointless.

I took 2 hits from them and was passed out, broken bone and bleeding whilst still being hit. By the time I got up again I didn't have time to bandage or kill them. Pretty pissed as I had my ideal weapons.
Think zombies are to far the other way in damage now and in my opinion you still make far to much noise. Proning during the day with a zombie walking away from me I had one hear me from 10-15m away. Kinda makes proning pointless.
Tbh getting knocked out by zombies is very random if you ask me, last time I got hit by zombies several times and I lost only a bit of blood and wasn't knocked down. Also apartments in Cherno with the zombies are quite easy with the hatchet, since zeds can't really reach you when you're on the stairs and you can melee them down (but they wont hit you).

Honestly, the mod was more fun before when you started at least with a Makarov and Zombies were rather slow, blind and deaf.
After 1.7 it went completely downhill imho.

Sorry... *slap* I mean... SIR, YES, SIR!
Still don't like the "no weapon"-part on spawning.
-
The no weapon thing doesn't change anything. It takes about 30 seconds to get a weapon if you know what you're doing. The zombie behavior change is the huge thing.
-
That's the pre-log, right?
That hotfix isnt released yet, is it?
Cuz I died today to freaking bug and all my nice stuff is gone.
Full blood, get hit by a Z twice and get the feint symbol thing and get eaten. From full health down to 0.
Already released, and at each bites from a Z you can (by growing % order): get sick, pass out, break yo bone, bleed, get damaged.
Even though it seems bleeding is now almost a certainty at the first bite, and breaking bones are a major probability.
In like 20+ bites I bled 10 times, fractured bones 3 times, fainted 2 times. Bit high but maybe just unlucky (even though my friend had the same occurence).
-
How do you guys feel about this, for the next hotfix:
"Infected hear perfectly through objects (noise reduced by 50% through an object)"
So a line-of-sight check is done before agro'ing audibility - and if cut by terrain/object the power of the sound is reduced by 50%

seems win

Pending Update: Build 1.7.2
Target date is Monday. Backup is for Saturday during offpeak time.
The update will include some new functionality. Currently, it includes some leftover fixes from the end of 1.7.1
But I will be updating the progress here. 1.7.1.5 will remain all weekend, unless something serious happens.
This is the completed changelog so far:
Changelog:
* [FIXED] Infected hear perfectly through objects (noise reduced by 50% through an object)
* [FIXED] Animal bodies despawn way too fast (now despawn automatically after 2 minutes)
* [FIXED] Corrupted update data causes people to spawn in debug forest (now will not save corrupted position data)
* [FIXED] States where animal might stop walking around (now should walk around more)
* [FIXED] Animal AI routines consuming large amounts of FPS (now in line with Infected AI routines, reduced FPS usage)
* [NEW] Player Syncing system replaced (increased performance and ammo quantity tracking)
* [FIXED] Error reports are almost invisible (has now been fixed)
-
* [NEW] Player Syncing system replaced (increased performance and ammo quantity tracking)
I hope this means desync issues will be gone finally
-
I hope it means using the same magazine over 9000 times is gone.

You mean the convert clip bug/exploit?
-
It should already be gone with the current .5 hotfix.
-
Wonder why there are even guns in the game atm.
Trained like 15-20 Zs in Elektro...
...ran to a house with 1 entrance, stood in the doorway and kept spamming the hatchet. Killed them all in like 2 minutes and didnt lose any blood at all.
No point in playing it atm.
-
i'm afraid that under armaII engine zombies will never work well.
-
I had fun before he started to fuck-patch everything. Now there isnt even a point in sneaking past Zs...

You should try the game again, last update made sneaking largely feasable again :wink:
The number of bar showing visual & audio detection didnt change, but their power did: they no longer aggro past 200+ meters even when you run in broad daylight, and crouch running is a sound sneaking way again (except for close encounter ofc).

Why is noone keeping this shit updated, I'm on vacation on some weak wireless.

Can anyone play DayZ atm? I cant join any server :cry: :cry:, always stuck at: Wait for host :evil:. Is this DayZ problem?
-
day z is in alpha stage and is probably buggiest game i have played, but still it is so awesome and totaly worth it.(and yes it works now) just keep updating day z patches and arma beta patches , best way to do it is using six updater.
-
I didn't like six updater at first but now I'm finding it really nice. Makes things so much easier, even the server browser is 10x better than in game.

You should really check out http://www.dayzcommander.com/ (http://www.dayzcommander.com/). Blows SixUpdater out of the water.

This looks sweet, does it also include an autoupdater and does it work with beta Arma2 releases?

Looks nice indeed and way cleaner than the six updater. Never got along with that one cuz it was kinda confusing me with all those things in it. Definately checking it out.

Ok tried this DayZ commander thingy and it's fucking awesome. I love how I can set all the filters and check the server time, not to mention it's prettier and faster working than six launcher.
Love the favourite server thing. LOVE the friend list thing (it actually tracks down my friends on what server they are playing).

Yep. Works like a charm. Even did a fresh install for me after a HDD breakdown... Donwloaded Arma2, fired everything up once, started the Commander, clicked Update and it downloaded, extracted everything, clicked on one of the server and was in.
Really nice.
-
I approve of dayz commander
Smart, clean interface...
no comparison to the clusterfuck (that might be useful for using multiple mods, I'll give them that much) that is sixlauncher
