Hotfix 1.7.1.5 is live...

There is a new hotfix that should be downloadable in the next 6-24 hours. This will fix the Zeds superman vision as well as the player noise issue. Rocket doesn't seem to ever sleep. I've never been in any alpha or beta where the fixes came out with the speed he seems to be doing them. Hopefully he doesn't burn himself out. Patch notes follow (These may change or get added to before the patch goes live)...

 

Use Beta patch 93825 or above

Build Notes

HOTFIX : 19 JUNE 2012

Affected addons:
* dayz_code 1.7.1.5
* dayz_equip 1.3.3
* dayz_weapons 1.3.2

Developer's Note:
* A designation of [NEW] doesn't necessarily mean a new feature, 4chan, it means a change in operation not directly related to a bug. Could be for better performance or rebalancing.

Changelog:
* [NEW] Infected raycast for line-of-sight less often (improves performance)
* [FIXED] Infected can see through terrain ( https://dev-heaven.net/issues/33787 )
* [FIXED] Raycasting being taken from wrong body position (ensured it is from eye level)
* [FIXED] Infected sometimes spawn close to a player (previous check once, now up to ten times)
* [NEW] Infected bodies will despawn after 5 minutes of their death (improves performance)
* [FIXED] Sometimes infected will stand still after loosing line-of-sight ( https://dev-heaven.net/issues/33715 )
* [FIXED] Can dupe tent's by right clicking (forgot to close the window)
* [FIXED] Poor performance caused by infected search behavior (MAJOR performance increase during closed testing)
* [FIXED] Audibility is far to high (completely rebalanced, in line with how it was in previous updates)
* [FIXED] Can dupe food during cooking if click really fast (now you cannot)
* [FIXED] Trying to pick up a hatchet would create fake ammo (now will not)
* [FIXED] Hatchet takes up too much room (can now be transferred between toolbelt and primary slot through gear action)
* [REVERT] Hatchet now collected as an Item (toolbelt) and can be equipped to primary (gear action)
* [NEW] Flashlights can now be packed to toolbelt also (gear action)
* [NEW] New players will spawn with flashlight added to their toolbelt not backpack
* [FIXED] Infected sometimes not inspecting thrown items (they will walk to the location of a noise, 20-40m away)
* [FIXED] Unlimited Infected spawning (now has a cooldown enabled so it won't spawn too many at once)
* [FIXED] Melee weapon sounds non-existent/terrible (now has placeholder sounds)

 

Edit: All tents are getting wiped also so if you have one somewhere you may want to pack it up now. He's doing this to clear out the tent cities that are poping up all over due to the tent duping bug. Some of them are getting out of hand and are affecting server performance.

 

Second Edit: Changed the above to reflect Rocket's changes in the original post at DayZmod.com

    I just have to say, THANK GOODNESS!

     

    The game was progressing so nicely up until 1.7.0.1

     

    The zombies going crazy is the main problem that is making the game not enjoyable.  Up until then, I thought zombie awareness and alertness was damn near perfect.  Just that the strength of zombies needed enhanced.  

     

    It really got out of hand fast.  Hopefully we can actually go back to playing the game, rather than running scared or proning for an hour to reach a city (If we were lucky).
