Pikachu (DayZ)

This isn't so much a ban the hacker post, more of a head's up to the server admin. Server: US 3241 (v1.7.4.4/build 99343) [3DP:ON|CH:ON][GMT-11] dayzmod.com - hosted by ineedmoreinternet.com Date & Time: 27 NOV 2012 @ 20:00 PST - 2300 PST Who: VsT is one I can vouch that I saw in person. There were quite a few others. What happened: Hacker's paradise. I'll start with what was wrong with the server, and then the players. Server: - 2 Hotels were spawned in side by side in Prigorodky - 2 Planes were found spawned in, one was found at a rough grid of 112128 the other near the Hotels already mentioned - Nuke was dropped on Balota airstrip around 2130 PST - (Unconfirmed - Told by a fellow player) Respawning players got teleported to the general middle-of-nowhere live target range Players: - VsT: This lovely gentelman showed up in Electro when we were in the grocery store. Killed us all. About 15 minutes after this I respawn near Balota and raid the airstrip. Low and behold he shows up again, finds me hiding in the quad-con in a hangar, says in directional that he's not going to kill me, I open the door, see he's standing in a soldier uniform, called him out on it and then he got BattlEye kicked. Honestly I wish we were typing because that would've been a funny log to see. Around 2-5 minutes after that another hacker showed up and dropped the nuke on the place. Happened on the west end of the airstrip with the control tower and the two hangars. Facts: Soldier skin Speculation: Spawned weapons, teleportingLike I said, This is more towards the server admin as a heads up to check his logs, because some crazy stuff was happening on that server last night.

@OP See: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/108825-au-500-swifty-admin-abuse/ Change servers.

Delete your DayZ files and reinstall them through DayZ commander or Six. That's the only thing I can think of if you can launch OA but not DayZ.

Skyrim has unkillable children in it as well. Anyways, According to this link: http://www.giantbomb.com/killing-children/92-4067/ only 58 games have included killing children in the game. In a world with probably hundreds of millions of video games, children are a pretty big taboo.

Can you included a screen shot of said error? Is it something like "[NAME].exe has stopped responding and needs to close"? Can you launch Arma 2 OA by itself without DayZ Commander? Are you launching DayZ Commander with Administrator privledges?

http://www.dayzwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page is managed by Curse. Ask them.

I will give you all the above. We will meet at the site where you stashed your heli, I'll trade you the parts, you trade me the items and then I'll kill you and take the.... wait wait wait. Err. Disregard. I meant I'll walk off peacefully and be on with my day :)

Here's your sign... No in all seriousness, there is no such thing. You've been duped. There is no offical CD key changer from Bohemia Interactive, DayZ Mod or BattlEye. What you downloaded is probably a tool for scriptkiddies to change CD keys once they've been banned (which sounds like what you went through considering CD keys don't have a shelf life) and whoever wrote the program used so happens to steal your old CD key in the process. It's probably installed a program to continue to steal your CD key as well, so don't waste your money on buying more. [Edit] Fun links! https://www.google.com/search?q=dayz+cd+key Clicked the first one to pop up, eh? http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/106805-to-people-who-got-their-keys-stolen-and-or-dled-hacks/ What happened to you

Thanks to the DayZ staff for a fast response in getting this unlocked :) Anyways, You've been banned by the Admin's 3rd party banning tool, namely Dayz Anti-Hax. You need to get in contact with the server's admin and have him review his logs to see specifically what happened to trigger the ban. http://dayzmod.com/f...ccess-flooding/

Sorry for the bad news, mate. If you're desperate, try uninstalling ArmA 2, use CCleaner (http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner) to do a registry sweep, do a virus scan and then install (buy it again >.<) ArmA 2 on a external hard drive. Or use a different computer if you have it.

Looks like you have the hacker's virus. See: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/106805-to-people-who-got-their-keys-stolen-and-or-dled-hacks/ Try a virus sweep, but good luck. You're probably going to have to wait for standalone to play again, mate.

It's a private hive. You may have been banned for the AS50 as it's considered by most to be a hacker's weapon. Based on a general google search, US023 isn't too reliable. http://arma2.swec.se/server/data/335915 Infact the server is down right now. Just find a new server on the Bliss Private hive, your stuff should carry over. I recommend dropping the AS50 though.

A little more info would help... Admin ban or global ban? Did the heli crash? You named Namalsk, was this on a private hive? If not, what server? C'mon buddy...

Currently there isn't a single PCI-E card that can completely saturate the bandwidth limit for a PCI-E 2.0 slot. PCI-E 3.0 was made for a 3+ card system where all 3 cards combined will saturate the bandwidth completely. So no. @ OP As for the disk question, the ram is fine and I doubt that you are reading from the disk's cache when running ArmA 2. (HDD's cache are used for outrageous file sizes such as compressed folders or larger photoshop files as a inbetweener from HDD to RAM) The Intel i5 is probably your problem child as it's usually a 2 or 4 core processor. Based on the lack of description for the processor I'll assume you're using a dual core with hyperthreading (2+2) as getting the top end i5's around 3.4ghz with 4 cores are usually comparable to getting an i7 (a price difference of $30-$60 and you get 4 cores plus 4 virtuals). The dual cores are clocked higher hence why you're able to clock at 4.0ghz (is this with turbo boost or without?) and ArmA 2 Hyperthreading support is a toss-up based on a google search. Some say it hampers the game, others say it doesn't affect the game's performance. I tend to agree that it does not affect performance. http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processor-comparison/compare-intel-processors.html?select=desktop http://www.realitymod.com/forum/f440-pr-arma2-general-discussion/85195-arma-2-intel-quadcore-hyper-threading.html A simple upgrade to an i7 would give ArmA 2 8 cores to use as opposed to your 4 (be they physical or virtual). Either way, the HDD shouldn't affect the games performance much. I haven't noticed a difference between my 2 systems (one using a platter HDD and the other a SSD) My guess is the processor and the fact that you're probably trying to play the game at 1080 lower your resolution to 720 and anti-alias the hell out of the game (since this will use your GPU instead of the CPU) tl:dr Processor.

My apologies. :/ Looks like the kids found a new way to shit in everyone's boots.

Where do we go when we die? (Don't say the beach)

Why did all the dinosaurs die?

One thing I can't wrap my head around is why people blame the mod. This mod makes $0 dollars. When you purchase ArmA 2, that money goes to BI, not DayZ. But yet people still come on this forum and demand that the staff returns their money and that they'll sue the mod. The mod is free. Back when CS came out, I can't recall a single person blaming the dev team of CS for VAC bans or any of this drama. They were banned from steam, not the mod. For some reason people think that DayZ = BI = BattlEye. When standalone comes around, I can see why people may be upset. But even then the anti-cheat software will probably be provided by a 3rd party and integrated into standalone and again, DayZ will have no liability when it comes to bans, they'll have to take it up with the 3rd parties database because DayZ will just read the log from the 3rd party when banned people log in.

No, just you. Man I wish Rocket still posted in these forums. You'd been trolled so hard.

Probably not. He won't be playing again according to this thread http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/106805-to-people-who-got-their-keys-stolen-and-or-dled-hacks/

Let me break it down for you, super-slow-motion-gangnum-style. 6:02 - Royboy010 "buys" ArmA2 6:08 - Royboy010 downloads DayZ Mod 6:12 - Royboy010 googles "UBER L33T UNDETECTABLE HAX DAYZ" 6:13 - Royboy010 downloads first link posted in the first page he finds 6:15 - Royboy010 has installed everything 6:18 - Royboy010 logs into DayZ for the first time 6:19 - Royboy010 finds that he is banned 6:21 - Royboy010 comes onto DayZ forums suddenly becomes illiterate, demands that the staff has stolen his money and professes his innocence. That's about right, huh? Buddy, this staff has absolutely NO CONTROL over global bans. Not only that, but they can't even tell you what "IP range" that is using the key is. BattlEye can. PLEASE, by all means, go back to hacking BF3. We will not miss you ONE bit.

Good luck with that champ because... A Wild Snorlax Appears! Because steam sold you a already used key, right? Trolololol.

Yup nothing wrong. Nothing at all. BattlEye loves to just ban people for no reason. You show me one case of a false positive that was sent from BattlEye (Not an admin ban for a heli crash) and I'll show you a....
