Update 1.08 is coming to console soon. Do we have to do a server wipe to get the updates? If so, this will screw up many role playing and base building servers.

Changed the title of the thread from “Dayz Updates” to “DayZ Update Server Wipe?”. -
Curious about how this works, myself. New territory since this is the first patch since modding went in on console.
If the update doesn't clear existing XMLs, I was planning to lock main server, download the new XMLs from my test server, rebuild everything from the new files, and re upload the new build to test. Test. Then, assuming it's all good, upload to main server and not wipe.
Seems like the logical way to go, but not sure what all will happen with the update, either.

They keep them posted at the top of this forum, I think.

You can use Notepad++ compare plugin to check old vs. new file on PC .

On Consoles whenever a new patch drop rather than wipe do a restore from last backup will do the tricks

as for the new XML new items will be in the updated XML
you will need to use XML difference checker of the updated XML vs your Modded XML and add the missing lines, Since your current XML below 1.08 if that make sense

I think what's being asked is if accessing the new files will require a reinstall and, thus, a wipe.
-
It's my understanding you will not need to do a complete reset to default config. We will need to do a comparison of the new xml files and determine what we want in our current files. Or, if you haven't made that many mods, simply use the new files and add your changes.
