I agree with the poster. The hacking is ridiculous. I've been curious about checking out hacks for technical reasons. It is ridiculous how poorly the engine is designed. The rule of thumb for multiplier games is the server is authoritative and client are not. This is networking 101 for any type of software. Imagine if banks trusted clients about how much money they have in there account. Yet in dayz foreign clients can make players invisible. Which as a programmer I can not believe. It is the most basic of things. Spawning items is also stupid as well. Who decides to let a client dictate what items are around. Teleporting is stupid as-well. Most other games teleporting capability is limited and only the result of some form of lag compensation. but going km's is silly. There are some client side things that being authoritative does not fix. these are local client hacks. Like wall hacks. or aim hacks. These only apply to the person using them and does not change how other players experience the world. Not saying it is dayz's fault. It may be the arma 2 engine who knows. Someone has screwed the pooch though.

Ok must be related to equipping clothes then. Logging out and logging in returns all your stats to what they were. Though it is worth mentioning even though the debug view had 0 kills when I pressed "i" the board showed me with the full amount of kills previously. So it seems to be a client side bug, which is good. Sucks that I have to re equip every time I join though to get that clothing. Maybe one day I will find a ghillie suit or camo gear.

I managed to come across a Coyote pack and civilian clothing. I got the pack and ran off because it was near a tractor which all seamed strange. I checked the dayz wiki about the clothing and it said if you equip it while already wearing those clothes it will become a black version of the same clothes. I thought that would be pretty cool. So I did it and sure enough my character clothes turned black also my humanity went to 0 and so did kills and head-shots(as well as my newly acquired coyote pack vanishing><, but replaced with the alice backpack I had before). What I want to know does your skin go black because of a glitch and making your humanity and that is the new bandit skin?( i have heard nothing about it changing to that though) if it is not that how can I keep that black outfit between sessions? As when I log back in my outfit goes back to normal. Also my kill stats return to normal as-well. also I did not put this in the bug section as I do not know if it is one.
