The military survival mod for Arma II, DayZ, has been updated to version 1.7.7.1 today. Along with its update, the developers have posted a changelog of all the fixes it brings.
For the most part, the update fixes numerous bugs that would cause the game to crash, and address duplication issues that allowed some players to exploit the game with multiple versions of the same item.
In addition to the many bug fixes, all of which can be seen below, the update brings with it much quicker login and loading, as well as more reliable loot spawns so you won't find yourself looting so many empty houses each time you play the game.
