DAYZ PATCH UPDATE 5 FEBRUARY 2014

Branch: Stable

ETA: Complete

Version: 0.33.114926 

This build continues with small bugfixes and several engine changes. A late addition of a significant change to the server variable processing has provided us a major performance boost on the server of around 5-10 FPS. This helps with a great deal of issues and results in a much smoother game experience from players even on a smooth server. Once several more of these optimizations are made it will allow us to increase player/zombie numbers and enable loot and zombie respawning.
