DayZ? Who would vote for such a thing as DayZ? Well if you excuse me I shall go vote for my other zombie game, Daisy, it has bandits, heros, zombies, and is a mod for the game Karma II! Surely I am not confusing the two games!

Swimming doesn't drop gear anymore (Mostly).

Not that color I believe, unless the UNO (Arma 2 faction) UAZ spawns in DayZ. I have always thought it was just the Russian/CDF UAZ

This is a horrible bug that a few players (Including me) are plagued with, no explanation or solution sadly.

Sad thing is that it will be gone next server restart, considering the fact that it is hacked... Nice job though, much better luck that I usually have since I never see one.

A:2 helicopters flying around is horrible desync if I am correct. B:Hackers are hacker, DEAL WITH IT! Don't get attached to anything valuable, because our first helicopter ended up getting blown up by a hacker while trying to pick up the rest of our group.

You CAN get banned for having an illegal weapon, such as the one you have described. You sir may be confusing a rule that if you pick up a legit weapon (Say a winchester or lee enfield or something like that) that is hacked in you will not get banned.

Well the first thing that seemed not legit is that SUV you see there! Now about that map thing you got, yes it is hackers, though I would like to know who the fuck hacks in a completely useless item. It is an item from vanilla Arma 2 that is basically just there for a mission.

I am going to answer this like many other threads that ask this, do NOT pick it up, this may result in the ban of your CD key. Best thing to do is attempt to dispose of the body or just leave it.

I myself can answer with this, they can attack cars, I can not tell anything more because the only real experience with cars and zombies is a small blue van that exploded after 30 zombies attacked it.

It is NOT allowed to used hacked weapons sir! You may be confusing this with the rule that you can use legit weapons that are hacked in.

You didn't seem to read my post carefully or don't notice some things, I said that SOME people have it working, SOME don't. One of my friends said that certain graphical setting affect if it works or not. Also you said in your initial post that "the devs are getting nothing done!" but he released a hotfix that seems to have worked for a number of people.Also I was just confirming that it was bodies, I was completely aware that you also mentioned barbed wire. I did read the list, you posted that Alpha is where developers fix bugs, when really it is for adding features and building the game and such, Beta is where the developers polish the game, make a few small changes here and there, and then finish off the product by a release.

A)The bug is not barbed wire, it is those soldier bodies you see lying on the ground. -_- B)He attempted to fix them, some people got it working, some didn't I myself seem to have improvements with it, so if you can't see, HE IS WORKING ON IT! C)This is an alpha, where the developer focuses on adding/removing/changing features in the game, and testing this on testers like us.

No. Hacked vehicles are safe to drive, but don't go around killing people or something like that. I would much rather destroy it in some way. NOW if there is a hacked gun inside of it I would just drive it into the ocean, and avoid the gun like the plague. @iamblazelflack You CAN get banned for carrying a illegal weapon, say like a golden AK or RPG.

DayZ is all about the infection! I mean, last night, my team and I were attempting to snatch a truck from a clan on the coast. I was by myself in Elecktro and 2 others in Cherno, and the truck kept driving in between. Well I was sneakin' up on this truck while it was stopped, I took aim with my Lee Enfield and boom a zombie attacks me from behind. I call that some realistic action!

Hmm you don't seem to know much about Arma 2 huh? The devs are attempting to make it so that Arma 3 will actually run faster then Arma 2.

7 vehicles on a server, can be any vehicle, and just so you know, hacked helicopter.

It's the head of the old bandit skin (German soldier in Arma)

1) Yes, zombies and loot CAN spawn at the same time if you are the first person to enter the area since a server restart I believe. 2)Zombies will respawn after a certain amount of town, the time is varied to location. 3)A helicopter will stay in its location till a server restart, you will not find loot to respawn there. Joining another server will most likely not let you find the heli in that location.

I for one, believe vehicle maps are completely useless because A:I believe that vehicles spawn in completely random spawn points like crashed helis and B:Most servers have either hackers/trolls who just hide vehicles or clans who horde vehicles.

Time:Around 4:30 PM EST, 8/10/12 Server: US 257 Seattle Supposed hackers:[911] Kozak(<--Main suspect), [911] Mindlosted, and another [911] member. What happened?:I was testing the new hotfix on the server. I had discovered that someone was driving a car around Cherno. So I decide to attempt to ambush them at the northern main road. I set myself up with a lee enfield on top of the Northern TEC building and wait. I then hear the car driving from the south, I found that 1 person was driving the car down the rail road going East, then they turned and headed up the road east of the TEC building. I decide to take some shots at the car, and manage to get the drivers attention, he stops the car next to a fence and gets out and heads toward me. I take a few shots and he stops and begins to open fire with a glock and missing all the bullets. I then continue to shoot him, hitting him 2 times in the legs, 2 times in the stomach, 1 time in the chest before he finally goes down. Yet he still is not dead! So I continue firing and for some reason my bullets didn't seem to hit him, then finally I got a bandit kill, but the second I got the bandit kill I randomly died, I had 12000 blood, not bleeding, and randomly got broken bones and shock. Can someone look into this -_- EDIT:After coming back to the server after they left, I went to the body and found a range finder, NVGs, GPS, RADIO, and many other tools...

I would like to confirm that I am still having graphical errors, but not as bad as before. Now bodies just emit the errors instead of just having the errors take over the entire screen. On a side note, I found out what Rocket "Hid" inside the update, you sly bugger! Got picked up by a random guy in a car, drove to Cherno, and well most people should know what happens next...

There is a reason it isn't showing up, you have no available actions. Try using it when you look at a loot pile, or a symbol appears randomly while playing the game.

People seem to want to believe that cars and such spawn in static-locations. Well mostly this is wrong, cars and such randomly spawn in locations. Areas like towns, cities, villages and such are best places to look.

The main solution that I see for cheating and such is going standalone. Honestly right now Rocket and the people he has to help fight hackers can't do much because they themselves can't change the Arma 2 engine in a significant way. When they get standalone they will have an engine all for themselves, allowing them to combat hacking, duping, cheating(Alt-F4ing and such) and other things like such.
