DayZ 1.6.0 out ... enjoy ... and be nice to new female characters!

* looks like tinypic . com is banned

 

[Rocket Scientist]

This sounds like the best thing ever... Wish I had a better computer.

 

[Chinner]

use imgur dwarden

 

[drizzle]

nope. the only way I'm giving away my skin is being held unarmed at a gunpoint. And if I'm held unarmed at a gunpoint I'm not giving away anything because I'm already dead.

Exactly. Dude is gonna kill me anyway after I give him my skin, so screw this shit. I rather not give him the satisfaction.

YES!

Being robbed / robbing players of their skins sounds like the best thing ever. You need to keep them alive, but you have to make sure they're not going to kill you. I hope more stuff like this gets put in, where you're fucking over players in ways that don't just devolve into shoot > take loot.

With this laggy netcode I would not risk to rob anyone. He turns and shoots you just like that.

Here are the pics Dwarden tried to post earlier

lol, looking at these pics I suddenly recall that there were no women in STALKER games.

Got my hatchet, cut me some wood. Made a fire. Cooked some meat. Felt good.

Ok Sub, you did it. Finally blocked all of your avatars. Looking good!

Looking forward to playing DayZ 1.6! Logging in....

Wait. What?

 

[Llyranor]

I hope you didn't kill the guy with the backpack.

 

[S0N0S]

I hope you didn't kill the guy with the backpack.

Haven't killed anyone, but I'm stuck here with every relog. :/

Sent the devs an email, including my details and rpt files. Hopefully I'll hear back soon.

they call it Limbo

 

[zon]

Hmm, I think this game needs a female serial killer...

 

[The Janitor]

Go to armafiles.info/dayz and select a mirror. Check the dates on all the files and download the ones that have been updated. Extract the .rars to replace the files in \@Dayz\Addons\

No installers required. Takes a minute. Easy.

If I haven't updated this mod since 1.5.7 can I still only download the 27 may files or do I need everything on that list?

I go stuck there too with every log in. If you have a compass run east. You'll get back to the map in about 5 to 10 minutes

 

[MasLegio]

seems like a lot of servers are missing, is it because they have not been updated yet or any other issues?

damn, seems like temperature goes down when offline.....

need to find some heatpacks asap

we need bigger backpacks


also seems like a hotfix has been released just now, since i got error i had wrong version.
nearly impossible to get on dayz.com so noone knew on the server I was on.

anyone have torrent for 1.6.0.1?

 

[panty]

Patch 1.6.0.1 is out...

 

[Crumpet]

Seems like the new patch was causing FPS issues. Hotfix is out which could mean server restarts again. Damn Rocket is quick.

"Hotfix 1.6.0.1 is out to attempt to fix an FPS issue. Sorry guys -Rocket"

I made a photo diary of my eight-hour run yesterday.

[MasLegio]

has anyone been able to download latest patch and is willing to share?

 

[Jhriad]

has anyone been able to download latest patch and is willing to share?

Gotten it a couple times with the Worrom updater but I think that updater is overwriting the 1.6.0.1 with 1.6.0 every time I try to use it. I'll hope onto a 1.6.0.1 server and it just tells me that I'm on 1.6.

Day Z Development ‏@dayzdevteam

7800 people trying to connect at once... main server died, web server died, forum died, and 8 nodes down...

Oh boy

 

[Atomski]

Looks like I picked a rough time to cave and buy Arma 2

 

[Phanatic8390]

So I guess we're not going to be playing anytime soon

 

[OrangeYouGlad]

1.6.0.1 Torrent

 

[Atomski]

Downloaded 1.6.0.1 but every server labeled with that version gives me a wrong version error..

 

[CrazyIvan1978]

The NeoGaf Dallas 19 server won't let me join. Some shit about my mod signatures... WTF?!

Something to do with the server files needing updates.

 

[MickeyKnox]

The entire network is apparently killing itself due to demand, don't bother trying to play for another couple hours still.

Been playing a while, game is awesome . Bandit killed me though...

This I don't understand. What if DayZ sells 1M copies in next 6 months. Will they don't give a fuck and never upgrade the back end?

This is no garage mod now. It's out there, in the spotlight. Bohemia should man up and cough the dough for the servers.

Except it's not Bohemia's game right now, so why should they have to take on the burden of funding it? Especially when it's in an Alpha state.

Not to mention Mickey was being hyperbolic in how bad it was. We all got into a server around the time he posted that message and didn't have any issues.

 

[Neverfade]

I agree with you to a certain extent, but lets be honest: this mod is making them money. Didnt they say at one point ARMA2 sales were reaching launch numbers thanks to DayZ? I could be mistaken, granted. Just seems like with the high possibilty of this being ported into ARMA3 structure that making the experience as pleasant as possible now will make return buyers for ARMA3 that much more likely.

 

[blitzcloud]

Ummm, 7,8k people joining at once is probably the unique playerbase of arma in half a year.

Not to mention that Rocket got hired by BiS. I think we can expect Arma to suit DayZ as much as it can.

It's an alpha of a mod, it just happens to be an increasingly more popular mod with every passing day, Bohemia has nothing to do with it, it's all on Rocket and his team to try and accommodate the deluge of new players. And as he posted in the forums, he did an internal test of the latest build which worked fine, but there are code problems that only present themselves under load, hence the cascading failure of the network when 300x 50 man servers all went live.

Things like this are the whole reason for the alpha

 

[Chinner]

the reality is that this game is in alpha, so if you're expecting it to be free of bugs then you're setting unrealistic expectations on both yourself and the mod team.

 

[mik83kuu]

Rocket needs to add skin variations for female models so I can start running around in this Ghillie Suit I found ;-)

Not gonna happen for a looong time unless someone volunteers to make some

Definitely this. You have to remember for the development team that this was a sudden unexpected surprise hit. There are both advantages and disadvantages to having an open alpha, but people will need to remember this will not be a bug-free ride. It is commended that the dev team are putting so much effort into it though.

I already found the perfect concept picture for whomever takes up the challenge. [mildly NSFW, as you might guess ;-)]
