DayZ Updates

[oefox]

Nice work osi, speakmanz, I will add your steam blurb to the tweaks thread, did this myself last night

[HandofBlood]

Admin gods have been summoned to update server in due course to  1.7.1.2

Your patience is greatly appreciated.

Edit:
Hearing bad things about new Hotfix might hold off.

[Joost]

If you hold off on the hotfix then I simply can't play - i need water but the bug means none is spawning.

[Cdr]

It might be a case of having to roll back to 1.7.0... but then I think that had issues too... either way, from reading the DayZ forums 1.7.1.2 is broke.

[HandofBlood]

Then we will all be in the same boat:

In the latest hotfix, dropped ammo is turning into "Hatchets" and "Crowbars" which look like Shotgun Shells, and is crashing all servers within minutes.

[Emrico1]

Yeah, the servers are crashing like crazy

[EuphoricBliss]

PLEASE hold off on the hotfix until the issues are resolved

[Xsannz]

fuck the hotfix.. i havent even been able to play the bloody game yet.

what -prefix launch options do you steam guys use...

i installed the beta but when i use the prefix options mentioned elsewhere the bloody thing crashes with a dx9 init error

[Emrico1]

-beta=Expansion\beta;ca;Expansion\beta\Expansion -nosplash -mod=@dayz -world=empty

[Xsannz]

-beta=Expansion\beta;ca;Expansion\beta\Expansion -nosplash -mod=@dayz -world=empty

that throws a dx9 graphical init error

edit got that working... missed a copying step..

now i get stuck at waiting for character to create screen.......

[Xsannz]

i get fucked up too quick spawn die spawn die....

[Joost]

The orcon servers are running the new version fine

[Mev]

1.7.1.3 Has been presented, lots of fixes that were ruining 1.7.1.2, hope we can update tonight!

[HandofBlood]

Now at 1.7.1.4

[PrinceTuiTeka]

Haha. So what version should we be using? Are the servers still on the 48 hour famine version?

[Speakman]

Good thing I haven't had time to play this week, Imma wait until they stop rolling out a fix a day and become somewhat stable and playable

[PrinceTuiTeka]

Orcon has 1.7.1.3 running. Heaps of ammo and food.

[EnjoyTheSauce]

1.7.1.4 feels pretty good. Played a good 6hrs or so, didn't encounter any major bugs.

[Cdr]

Not had any missing items etc EnjoyTheSauce? Contemplating on whether or not to update or leave it 24 hours until the next hotfix

[EuphoricBliss]

update to .4!

[.osiRiS]

Gotta work people otherwise we can start a fund for .osiRiS to stay home and update the servers. I only require 50k a year.

Nope. Its been all good.

Hatchets taking up 10 backpack space and not going into lower inventory slot is my only beef, this made me lose stuff from inventory so inventory is still bugged
