  • DayZ 1.6.0 Patch Notes

    The popular Arma 2: CO modification, DayZ, has a new update (1.6.0) rolling out beginning yesterday. The forums are a buzz with happy fans after they read some of the changes included in this update.


    1.6.0 changes for the DayZ mod

    Affected addons:
    * dayz_code 1.6
    * dayz_equip 1.2.5
    * dayz_weapons 1.1.2
    * dayz 1.2.6
    * dayz_sfx 1.1.2

    Developer's Note:
    * To collect firewood, you can either find it in loot piles, or go into a forest and use the hatchet (gear > Right Click). I will expand this mechanic but its enough for now.
    * You get a ONE TIME OFFER to change your player gender!
    * Only two types of new skins are available in this update, "Camo" and "Ghillie Suit" in addition to normal survivor
    * Skins a player is wearing are NOT lootable.
    * When you change skin (right click on clothing package in inventory) your old skin will appear in inventory
    * If you want a players skin, you will need to make them take it off first

    Changelog:
    * [FIXED] Bodies being deleted immediately (now will stay around for 15 minutes)
    * [FIXED] Player profiles sometimes corrupting and causing stuck in loading issues (error handling by engine)
    * [FIXED] Temperature listed in percent and not degrees (now displayed in degrees)

    Already own Arma 2: CO? Then you should really give DayZ a try. The mod is currently in Alpha but it is already one of the most popular mods out there for any game.

    As i have mentioned before, i'm buying arma CO as soon as it goes on sale on steam! This mod is only lacking some melee weapons for more stealthiness with zombies

      If you have the funds there just buy it m8! Been gaming for like 4 decades now and this IMHO is probably one of the finest experiences i have ever had in my life!

        Just bought mine today for 30 bucks... I heard Amazon had it for 15 bucks a couple of days ago, but it was not steam redeemable.I'm gonna try and play this tomorrow. I think I might also need a mic/headset.

          I have heard a lot about this game from the guys at uni and it does look like a completely different experience. Going to pick it up myself when it goes on sale through Steam.

            This game brings back memories of what gaming used to be like. Expect bugs because it's a true alpha. The best advice I can give is don't worry if you die, it's more than part of the game. Reacquiring everything you lost is most of the fun.
