I don't know what this update has to do with anything the OP is talking about. I've been hacked to death ever since I started playing, and see the Gangam style hack more than a few times.

You're going to have to post your system specs for anyone to help you.

Same here. I'm assuming it's a glitch.

This is a one-way ticket to death, IME. If there's more than you and they haven't seen you yet, run and hide.

Update: I gave up on trying to play DayZ on an MBP. It was too laggy. With all settings on low, I could get a decent 25fps, but I had lag spikes every minute or so that would drop my framerate to 1-5. Unplayable. It also seemed to get lagged when there were too many zombies around. I did some profiling and it seemed like what would happen is that from time to time my GPU would drop to 0% utilization and cause a lag spike as the CPU attempted to compensate. In related news, I built the "steam box" that jackfrags had a video about not too long ago, and I'm getting 30fps on high settings. The PC cost me $536, not including keyboard, mouse and monitor--all of which I had old ones lying around.

Some good advice about how to approach someone here. The main thing is to approach them when either you both have something to gain by teaming up (like you're both fresh spawns, both being hunted by some jerks in a heli, etc), or when you are clearly in a stronger position--you see them first, you're more geared up, have friends, etc. You'll also want to pick your moment. In the middle of Cherno... not so much. Running into a poorly equiped random in Kamenka, sure. Generally the further north I get, the less I assume someone will be friendly. That said, there's no guarantees. My buddy and I flagged down a Land Rover just West of the NWAF and it was full of about 7 ghillies with snipers, searching for heli crash sites. They gave us a ride (we were lost). I also teamed up with a bandit who was being plagued by the same bunch of jerks in a heli who'd killed my friend. He and I repaired a motorbike, shot the pilot out of the heli, and he ended up sacrificing himself in a 4 v 1 firefight so I could flank around to the parked heli and gun down those dicks with their own door gun. :) That guy was epic. TL;DR, keep trying, pick your moments and don't get too upset when it doesn't work out. :)

Yeah, but this is the forum for reporting hackers, so...

I wasn't able to get a name while fleeing for my life, but I shot a ghillie sniper twice in the chest with an M24 within about 60 seconds and he did not die. It was south of the NWAF. He and his buddy were chasing me down after shooting my partner off our motorbike. If an admin is around right now, check the server logs for Fur Diaper's death. My gunshots should be shortly thereafter.

Thanks!

Hey guys, not that new to DayZ, but not 100% clear on all the little quirks. I've been watching the infamous FrankieonPC's DayZ videos and noticed that he has a tendency to berate people who decide to tangle with him after he holds them up. Sometimes these guys are unconscious, but other times there's been a death notice. Do dead people hear any chat channel? My experience has been that you do not hear chat while dead. Or was this something that you used to be able to do (ie chat with recently killed players) and has since been removed? LF

Agreed. Nothing wrong with the vid per se, but not a tutorial.

Fairly epic. Why did he get out and engage those dudes? They were capping the Green Car, his nemesis.

The Catalyst Control Center doesn't auto-install. You have to download the installer and run it. Re: requirements... not sure what you're talking about, unless you mean the verification tool from AMD, in which case ignore it.
