Private hives are good but, if they go down you lose everything. While on the other hand, a public server you just switch to another one.

You can, it's the debug screen. It's under the options menu but right now many people are having problems with it disabling their HUD. Aka water required, sound and sight made, don't update.

By hacked weapons they mean weapons not in Arma II but not in DayZ. You should read up on the actual weapons so you know which ones are hacked, and if this did happen, it won't happen again. Here's a few example: G17C is a hacked weapon. Any thermal scoped weapons with the exception of L85A2 are hacked in. If you find anything abnormal that you have never seen or heard of before you should look it up on the DayZ wiki. http://www.dayzwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page If it's not there it's a illegitimate weapon. If you have a legal one that was hacked in (not by you) you would not get banned or killed. This can not be detected by servers and such if you were not the one that spawned it in.

Because they get joy out of trolling, annoying, and such. Most hackers aren't good, they hack so they can get good at the game or annoy other people. They do this because they feed and get entertainment out of other people's misery.

HMS, he may have been on a Private Hive with side chat.

Yeah they can. In fact, most hackers will just teleport to you anyways. A lot of snipers hang around NWAF. There's long lines of sights and lots of people so it's a perfect opportunity to be a bandit and kill people like a d***. If he was asking he probably wasn't hacking, maybe stalking but I doubt it. He may have just been trying to pry it out of you so he could find you and execute you. Never give away your location. EVER.

It's a poopy head. (Hacker),

I was completely unaffected by this. It may be that the server was blacklisted from the official hive due to cheating, or possibly switched over to a private hive. Try another server. There are also glitches with certain items causing that to happen. Also, did you try restarting the game and your computer? Sometimes that will fix it.

Have you tried updating six launcher and making sure DayZ and Arma II is up to date? If you have and it is still not working just try using DayZ Commander. http://www.dayzcommander.com/

Just find the file under that area and rename the folders. Just right click on the folder needed, select rename, and rename it to what is needed.

Does the Escape key message give you the option to restart? If so use that.

Either a glitch or hacker.

1GB of graphics card RAM is required to play and your graphics card gives 1024MB (1GB) so you will most likely need to lower your graphics setting substantially.

Possibly hitting a shortcut combo that is set up on your computer. Make sure any combos in DayZ is not the same as any windows shortcut combos.
