DayZ SA: No Trees/Rocks/Buildings after BE patch!

[Exia1234]

As I know so far this has been patched, BUT there is a way to still do it.

Step 1: Remove your selected pbo files from the folder.

Step 2: Launch the game with the pbo files removed.

Step 3: Wait until you get the "Confirmation of changes error" that you get from removing pbo files then alt tab out. DO NOT JOIN SERVERS YET YOU WILL GET KICKED!

Step 4: Put the removed pbo files back in the folder.

Step 5: Join any server after you have done step 4 and... VOILA!!! NO TREES, BUILDINGS, ETC!!! You may get notification of textures not loading, but that's, in my opinion, proof that the pbo files will not load when you join a server since the game was launched without the proper files anyway.

Sidenote: I do not know if the bullets will still properly pass through as this is an alternate way to remove files via a patched BE since I have just found this information and tested it momentarily.

EDIT: I seem to find my shots hitting the ground at my feet or in front of me sometimes so you may have to toy around with your positioning or changing stances (crouched, prone, standing).

I was really hoping it would take longer to get posted lol, it was very easy to figure out though.
I'm sure anyone who hadn't figured it out yet will be grateful, thanks.
EDIT: Also for your edit, its usually because your prone inside a tree or clipping inside something so the hit-boxes are all messed up.

Does this allow you to go through these items?

[Deadline1111]

Yes it does, Examples are if you get stuck I a rock etc.

They only check that the files are actually in the folder so my guess is that it will stay this way since battleye is only enabled in servers and not the whole game since that'd be ridiculous. The only threat to this is admin bans should they ever find out. Personally I think of the patch as a cover for allowing this secondary alternative.

Yeah man I remember hacking in arma 2 youd have to wait to get in the server before you put in the hack so i sort of understood the script scan thing but this is like the reverse of it.

You entered the server with the pbo files out of the addons folder to which I stated NOT TO DO. You remove the files before starting the game, start up dayz then put the pbo files back in the addons folder at the main menu.

Removed files, clicked on dayz and got the error, did not join a server.

If you got this during the main menu it may relate to some other issues you have. I have done this at least 10+ times by now and I still have no issues besides the usual confirmation of change popups, textures won't load, etc. Also don't forget to put the removed files back into the folder AFTER you started up dayz.
