Hogs, No, I have no proof of anything. Thanks for your thoughts.

Not clear? I'll try again. 1) Have other players experienced ARMA2 shutdown by Windows D.E.P. during game play? Did they suspect another player caused this by a script, hack, or known exploit etc? 2) Is jumping from server to server in order to farm the military base regions like NWA, (accumulating all the military items from several servers) a dirty trick to gain advantage? (I think it is. It may explain why some never had chance to find items like NVG.) Players doing this jumping/farming likely feel entitled to the items they're after, and would have no shame in crashing another players game. I just wanted to know if other players experienced/recognized these two items, and hoped they'd share what they had learned about it.

the crash and the server jumping

BTW. This was the first time I've killed another player. I had no choice.

* Server this happened on. US47 (IP available if needed/ server manager: cloudlogic) * Time that it happened including your timezone. between 1am-3am Eastern time * What happened during the incident: I was alone near NW airfield. User Gaz spawns in. After few minutes a Data execution prevention crashes my Arma 2. :( I never had this happen with ARMA2 OA before that I can recall. I'm immediately suspicious so find a different server with no players. I spawned near Barn west of NW Airfield and trek into NWA. First barracks I check have open doors & empty. I suspected Gaz been there and maybe crashed me on US47 to have those goodies for his greedy self too. I go after him. >:( Spawn back into US47 and look for him at NW airfield. As I'm going Hanger to hanger Gaz suddenly comes from behind. :o Attacks me with silent pistol, I avoid, run - he chases. I switched from Crowbar to M14 as he rounds the corner - and shot him dead! :D Because of blood loss, Zombies break my leg, and I die. I spawn back in US47 , trek from beach all way to NW airfield. Get my things back. I loot his dead body. Gaz had NIGHT VISION GOGGLES, RANGE FINDER, M24, M16/203, SILENT M9, Ghillie etc. I have never found NVG nor Range Finder. EVER. Never had good rifle until version 1.8 Is this a hacker modus operandi? If so what can be done? Is this server jumping and collecting-nice-things business, cheating? Crashing a players game is a DIRTY ROTTEN thing to do!

I use Dayz Commander, upgrade to 1.8.2 but still no nighttime. I start on server in night, 11pm. but after 2 minutes big flash and i'm in daylight. Is this me or server or what? am I hacked or something? Any knowledge is appreciated, I'm really bummed that I can't stalk at night anymore. Punky. PS. I have searched for this topic here and online. never found useful thread.
