The biggest change in this update is the new restart system. Theirs no need to disconnect before a restart, as your player data will automatically sync right before restart. Also soft restarts have been implemented, so instead of getting kicked from the server, you will instead be sent to lobby. Changes: Full moon at nights, this means on normal nights without cloud cover it won't be pitch black: http://imgur.com/a/BkYrL Post processing color effects, they change depending on the time of day so nights wont be super dark: http://imgur.com/a/VlV8m (top is current, bottom is new) New server restart system. The server now has 3 different restart types. The restart notifications will tell you which type of restart is coming. Soft, which will send all players to lobby and it then reloads the mission (its like a hard restart, but you won't be forced to reconnect). Hard restart, just like our current ones but slightly better, shuts down the arma server and you will need to reconnect. Hard restart /w update. It will hard reboot so that an update can be rolled out, the restart notifications will notify players an update is coming out. Every 3rd restart is a hard reboot. So in theory only 2 hard reboots a day unless we roll out an update or decided to do one for some other reason. Admins can reduce the server time in case early-restarts are needed. This means in case of early restarts you'll get regular restart notifications. All players will have their data automatically synced right before restart. You shouldn't have to worry about disconnecting in advance. More surrender fixes, like, seriously. Vehicle collision damage reduced a tiny bit Added a check to prevent people from holding down a key and spam unlock/lock their vehicles. Applies to most keys. Holding them down wont spam their functions as they have a 0.4 second cool-down Disabled NLR timer for news team Fixed issue which prevented APD from buying Striders Added some checks to prevent players from logging on to the jail island, they will instead log on near it. This is to prevent meta gaming/ server hopping to jail breaks. Map updates/fixes Apd HQ's have more light probably Some other stuff fixed Some stuff added Idk ask Toe Knee

Yea and bacons great... also for a cheaper alternative: http://www.samsclub.com/sams/hormel-black-label-fully-cooked-bacon-72-ct/154798.ip I like bacon....

You can also buy em individually for ~16$ from other places like amazon, and it's pretty tasty. Uh, not like i'd know tho...

Coming next restart. Hotfix for surrendering issue where you can't put your hands down. I ACTUALLY TESTED IT THIS TIME... Other small changes: Updated news team whitelist NLR timer for disabling spawning near where you died bumped up to 4 minutes. Removed textures that are no longer in use from the Christmas decorations. Tactical bacon for cops, everyone loves bacon in a can... https://www.cmmginc.com/shop/tactical-bacon-case-of-12-9oz-cans/

You can thank DJWolf for that I just lowered it from 15 minutes to 1.5 minutes to get people introduced to it. Wasn't sure how annoyed some would be. It'll likely be moved up to 10-15 minutes.

This update contains a fix for something that was causing major server performance issues. Changes: Intro music is quieter Fixed issues with syncing data while in events Cleaned up some code Updated SpyGlass, no more kicks for false no recoil detection Cop lights are less-seizure inducing. Before it would go red, all off, blue. Now it goes from red immediately to blue without shutting off all lights. It's better, trust me... Cop and medic lights optimized a bit. Server cleanup of vehicles, and some objects is now more frequent. Vehicle collision damage increased slightly, they were too stronk before Moar logs. R&R quad bike NLR feature which prevents you from spawning near where you died. Currently the timer is only 90 seconds, but will be adjusted based on feedback. Surrender tweaked, hopefully fixes the issues with not being able to put hands down. Other stuff, probably.

With the previous update rolled out on Dec 6th I was able to achieve great server performance, but it's dropped since then. So I had to lower the slots. I'm looking into reasons why it may have dropped to see if I can get the old performance back. As you may be able to see, old performance was achieving better server cycles per second with more outgoing bandwidth at the time of the screenshot, more objects were on the map, and more players, and longer server uptime. It was the best performance we've had in probably ever, and i'm working to find out how to achieve that same performance again.

Will be fixed on restart.

This update is mainly fixes for issues from the previous updates. Revive system reverted to old one temporarily, this will fix a lot of issues including yinventory ones for cops Removed trees and presents Tweaks/fixes for CTF Siren/light issues should be resolved Intro music plays for a shorter duration

As said above, there are plans to buff economy sell values soon.
