Yes, we had no vehicles on a fresh server on 1.7.2.6 for about 2-3 days, then they just appeared. I wasn't looking the log so can't help there but there was certainly a bunch of people reporting this. I heard some ppls also claimed they spawned on their server after 5-7 days, which sucks. Maybe they'll just appear soon, someone else probably has a better answer :/

Everything those guys said, building a community mostly for me, that chance to make a popular and stable place for peeps to play. More control over hackers. Freaking the absolute shit out of people by doing my christopher walken impressions over the admin-only global chat. I'm not sure why, maybe its 'cuz our server is pretty low population most of the time but me and my squad can log into our server in about 10-20 seconds. Definitely go for it if you've got the spare cash. Or maybe wait and get one for the standalone.

WTB domesticated battle-kittens. The last thing you hear when you stumble across a camp, as several clawed fiends pounce on you from the tree-tops: "MEEEEOWWWWWWWWZZZZZZZ!!!!"

Go rent your own server, see what happens to you when you get a decent population on there and you have to deal with a bunch of goofs screaming at you in the lobby on a bi-weekly basis after 4-5 hours of everyone's game time is routinely deleted by a hacker. I think we've had 2 weekends since the start of August that haven't been interrupted by hackers insta-killing everyone or moving every vehicle on the map. Not to mention, half the squads we run into just ALT-F4 to extent that if we aren't synchronising head shots on them we believe they'll more than likely just jump off the server. I bet you anything a lot of the admins out there are kicking people just so they can actually use the server they're paying for. We're seeing as many hacks and Alt-F4ing players as we are people who play fair, and that's including the new players who are unarmed or unaware you can escape the game to survive. If you think admins are just going to pay to put up with the hacking as it is at the moment then I don't really know what I can say to you, apart from that you are far, far too optimistic to expect everyone to just take it in the ass and keep their servers up.

No, fuck you. Go play something else.

I hear you. Personally I think it isn't just ridiculous, its borderline embarrassing to get continuously ganked and our vehicles removed by fuck-wit hackers on a server my squad pays for, without the ability to control who can access the server. I can see why the devs want open servers on the main hive. I can see why people report, name and shame abusive admin. But sadly, it seems it might be getting to the stage were if we aren't breaking admin rules, we're just idiots. I've been admin kicked from other servers so many times I've lost count. I see locked servers and 3-4 slot servers connected to the main hive on DayZCommander all the fuckin' time. The temptation to do the same is getting to us. The first day I get some squad action going on with my friends we see a chopper circling above us. We dive into the bushes as the chopper descends about 20 meters away from us and I stop shitting my pants for long enough to equip my rifle and take a closer look to see how many people are on board. Two bandits, the chopper rotates, one pointing the side mounted machine gun right at my face. I take him out, watch the chopper land and then cap the pilot. At this point I'm pretty much convinced I'm the craftiest motherfucker alive. Buzzing off the adrenaline of one of our first player encounters we loot that shit and crawl away so utterly stoked that we have gear we've never seen and a chopper. Sadly, five minutes later, my friend sees a ghillie suited guy appear right behind me, unload half a magazine into me, then the same happens to him. I'm pretty butt-hurt about that. QQ. But nah, we'll continuously keep seeing our hard work and commitment to this fantastic mod undone by said assmasters. Infact, it just makes me want to be nicer to any player out there that isn't a hacker and isn't obviously coming right at me. It's hard to find a game that makes my heart beat double-time and on that alone I think Rocket and his fellows have made something truly special. Battle-Eye will get better, most hackers will lose interest and wonder off, hopefully into oncoming traffic. No hackers will soften the hype-boner I'm carrying for DayZ.

We got hacked twice this weekend and it looks like all our vehicles have disappeared.. is that your own server you experienced this shit on? Me and my friend similarly spend a whole fuckin' weekend fixing two vehicles and I'm just wondering if you know of any other locations hackers might like to teleport all that stuff? Or if its just best to wait the 7 days is it for respawns?

DE1849, Hosted by Zap Between 4-5pm BST 8th and 9th of September Everyone, apart from a few lucky people in vehicles are ported to a certain place and we all die. First was the NW Airfield, then a Castle somewhere. Sadly I don't record video in game and am generally too busy alt-f4'ing to take a screenshot. Will post one if it happens again.

I paid for Arma 2 for nothing, what a waste. Give me DayZ for free. Unless ofc, it isn't as busted at the current dayz is.

Running one of your servers now for 2-3 week and hardly any problems at all. Got it running within 2 hours of purchase, the ability to easily roll-back to 1.7.2.4 is sweet and apparently the price is pretty good. Would recommend for sure. Shame .2.5 and .2.4 both have utterly game-breaking bugs in them, but whatevz'
