Got a couple of issues with this update... I've been playin a few hours last night and happened to have bandits spawning right in front of me a couple of times. (I was so surprised the first time I was killed.) But the big, major issue concerns friendly IA's. Had 6 or 7 of them following after a couple of hours, but at a point, some of them just stop executing the orders... First it was the 2 ones I met first who decided to camp on a hill above a town, then another two getting stuck in the middle of a field and at the end, I was exploring an airport full of bandits all by myself :/
Obviously it started when I gave them some orders, it was working for 5, 10 minutes, and as soon as I stop to look around, check my map etc... they wouldn't move anymore... Note that new survivors joining the group may unlock a couple of them.
Pretty annoying glitch, especially since I was getting used to have some IA mates...
I think I'm gonna try back Ultimate without this update. Or the DayZ+ code & anim, if it changes anything.

Also I read somewhere that bandits are not supposed to engage Zombies?? It does seem to me that they do so... I can hear them fire pretty often and the surroundings of the airport were full of bodies...

Also, is it normal to have so many survivors joining you? My first game was with an outdated version (I got it here : http://kodabar.blogspot.fr/2012/05/dayz-offline-single-player-practice.html - would be a good idea to update this page) and it felt more realistic and hardcore : it was pretty rare to meet friendly units and I don't recall any troubles with the bandits...
