You need to patch manually. The thread has lots of posts on how to patch to the beta version (backwards compatible). Just search for 'beta' in this thread.

I sent you an invite which should get you around that issue (though you should post more )

Other people were added in as well so our "little" group has now over 50 members

I've become a hermit, living in the wilderness and not going near city's or towns unless I absolutely must. I live on a hill near a pond which I use for water, I hunt boar for food. I watch the towns from afar with my sniper rifle, looking for bodies to loot or bandits to snipe. I then fade back into the bushes like Homer Simpson...

its UTC-3 so 8:18pm but still dark, we can look at that again and see what suits best. They don't like you altering it too often.

Maybe we should open a thread and take a poll, and whatever the result we set it at that time and leave it like that for the foreseeable future?

Yeah it starts getting dark around 7 in-game and then nearly pitch black by 8 so you'd have to increase that to -5 UTC to keep it light till late (i.e midnight).

Going to give this a bash for the first time there, I'll have to find a server that isn't enveloped in darkness. I fear my chances of survival at first are going to be very slim.

They've said that the temp system is broken. You basically catch a cold after about 15 mins of play. I wouldn't play until they have a hotfix

The compass is probably the best item i've found in the game so far. Really tough getting around without it.
