Day Z receives unexpected patch, many glitches and exploits removed

Astronomically popular ArmA II mod Day Z has received an unexpected patch, with a long list of bugs fixes and content updates to make the game more fair and more fun. I say ‘unexpected’, as many community members didn’t expect the mod to be kept up to date this close to the release of the standalone game.

The list is quite extensive, so if you’re interested click on through the jump below to check it out. Most of the changes seem to focus on making the game more realistic and to take care of some glitches that players would use for unfair advantage. For example, being unable to create axes out of thin air, being unable to consume food and water if it isn’t in your inventory, and switching skins will no longer fix broken legs or take away your pain shakes — and most of all, no more bashing Alt+F4 to log out instantly. Seems fair to me!
