Tried to update with the new files and they are showing as being corrupted. 
Guys, I'd wait until this is looked into.

it's because downloads aren't finishing properly. I keep getting disconnected. It's all good though. Probably check back later tonight.

I really hope the server fix works well. I spent an hour today trying to get into a server and when I finally did I got shot in the head within minutes of playing.
voice communication works with beta patch
where does it say Winchester is no longer one shot kills?
slugs are also one shit kills, at least for me
will wait playing until tomorrow i think

* [FIXED] Whinny is way to powerful and quiet (mmmm your tears will be delicious)
My assumption that it will no longer be one-shot kills. Unless you're already playing on the patch?
now this change is just stupid...
making the interface worse should not be a planned part of the update....
why is he creating artificial obstacles to the interaction?
I think I might skip this patch completely
whats next timed key (quicktime events) presses to apply bandage properly?
will we have to play a minigame of opening the canned food when we want to eat?
or find the hidden object minigame when we want something out of our backpack?

The hotfix is already out, shouldn't be an issue but don't quote me on it. I think he knows where he wants to go with it. As long as these things can be remedied I see no reason to fight the addition of more survival goals.

Sooooo, someone tell me if there's any 1.5.7 servers still around. Sounds like the worst update ever.
But the temperature thing isn't realistic! Cold weather should only increase your chance of a cold if there are already germs around!
Unless you say like, the island is covered with zombie cold germs, but that's silly.
It's kind of weird that Rocket would try to make the user interface worse, unless he was trying to avoid the thing where you accidentally hit middle click and eat all your food and drink all your water.
Also, is water super rare now that oceans are off limits? I think I heard of churches having pumps, and there's at least one pond with a dam.

Not super rare. He fixed it so ponds could be used and there's no shortage of them.
Is it even possible to dramatically change the UI? I posted on the official forums a different way to organize the gear interface. Just about anything would be better than what we have now.
Someone posted an example of, I think, ACREs' modified interface.
It still has issues, but it makes somewhat more sense Do any of the ARMA III vides out there show off the UI? Does Bohemia even care?

Temperature doesn't seem to be an issue. Going into your inventory to use any item is a little cumbersome though. Winchesters still one-shot zombies.

CHKilroy videos of him playing other ARMA mods show ACRE. He was Switching shit quite fast so it seems much better. I agree, a new UI that makes sense would be great.

Thats for killing Stuntman.
540 m running backshot.
Rare daylight. Far from most civilization, but why rejoin the empty husks of it. These near-barren woods offer more life. But in trees it is difficult to navigate. Gas stations yield little for me. Even less than they might without electricity. A nearby field hospital offers only a shotgun. No supplies. But body bags abound. Perhaps the real reason for this hospital, and for a lack of medical supplies. Shacking from the pain that the dead have caused, but no more painkillers. Tylenol seemed to last longer before this plague. The airfield here looks promising. Crawling. The dead cover the field. Someone in their infinite wisdom has barred the entrance to the tower before me with barbed wire. Amazingly I make it up the ladder without attracting attention. I hear gunshots not far. Gathering scraps of supplies. Around a mechanics building I move. A shambler, returned to death lays before me. I crawl across the tarmac. Around and into the woods, and then back to a guard tower. A survivor lays dead. Supplies to navigate this world. Night falls. I run across many deserted camps.
Into the outskirts of Novy I begin to haunt barns, houses. Gathering supplies and dispatching whole towns. I trade this remington for a trusty winchester.
Loaded on supplies, I creep out. But the dead are not fooled. I am surrounded in the open. The inhabitants of this town break my legs, tear my flesh. My rifle clicks, no more ammo. Same with my pistol. Unable to escape, much like these forsaken roamers of death.
Along the coast. I run. Attempting to find Elektro and legacy. He, bleeding out. Doc runs to his aid as well. Running, supplies in hand. Keeping the coast on my right shoulder. I see a city in the distance, a power plant. But no legacy. Road signs! ........Berezino.
I know Enduin is near the airfield. Gibs having run there. And knowing that doc will tend to legacy, I continue. Enduin, Gibs and I clear the airfield. Constantly collecting supplies. Indigo and stunt join. Broken, BS, panda, MOB, legacy, doc, and slope attempt to make their way to the field. Enduin tires, and takes a short break. I know of Gibs' reputation, killing on sight. So I enact revenge with a stairwell, but spare his life.
Gibs asks us to adopt identifying markers so strangers may be identified, and dispatched with his rifle. And that he may watch from above. We identify ourselves. A stranger in our midst! I ask Gibs to come, in order to watch this stranger. But then....
Enduin lays dead among us, his resting spot our hangar.
We hear from Mob that he is pursued by a horde. Indigo joins him in his flight. Riding Mob of this horde shall be easy, everyone having arrived and we having gathered a trove. We tell Mob to enter between the hangars, and then around to the control tower. I venture to the security shack, searching for more supplies. Gibs and legacy leave us, our watchers from the hills now gone. A man shouts! He sees two men by the hangars. Our gaffers. An entirely different man answers him that he is friendly. Two unknowns! The first states that he is going to drive into the hangars. We rush to the control tower. All of us train our rifles on the field, waiting for this man and car. Decided, if survivor perhaps he shall live. If bandit, it cannot be risked.
A bandit! Driving into our fortified position. But how to lure him away from his vehicle? No man would be stupid enough to leave if he saw all of us gathered, such as we are, rifles trained.
MOB! And his horde! Mob circles the bandit's car. The shamblers quickly swarm his ne'er-do-well.
He does not run over the dead. He panics as we watching, jumping out of his guarantee for survival. The plague bearers do not give up their hunt. Mob enters our sanctuary and we litter the ground with this bodies.
We are rewarded for our efforts. A vehicle! Easy transport for those now scattered across this land.
Supplies that none should want. We may yet survive. Survival continues.

Wedge man, you forgot to add my role in the zombie horde diversion!
Only kidding. The timing of me Seeing Mob and leading him to the airfield was so fucking perfect. What a rush that was!

I already have ARMA 2: CO patched to 1.60, and I've installed DayZ through the DayZ Updater (did this last night).
What do you I have to do to apply the 1.5.8 update?
