Just got killed by a hacker in NWAF. I tried running out of a building but the doors kept shutting on me. then he appeared and disappeared in front of my face and kept opening doors. then i finally got outside and died. no gunshots or sounds. just died. I thought the hacking would cease but now its only easier to hack??? Since they are doing it on experimental.

I know everyone hates the lag that currently ravages our gameplay. Can we expect lag fixes sooner than later or is the lag one of the last things to be worked on after all features are implemented? Will the new renderer really fix the lag or just mask the fps drops in cities? I know most of the problems are pure desync and server load. A renderer is supposed to only fix FPS right? I would like some info because if the lag isn't fixed by at least 40% soon i think it would be better for me to just put the game down until next year. It is very difficult for me to even test the game at this stage. I hear .50 is supposed to fix some lag but that was said about the last couple patches and they did 0. Anyone testing .50 please throw me some info! thanks

Happened to me at least 5 times now

With the new update rolling out possibly next week I would like to address the elephant in the room. I, as well as many others have seen an increased activity with aim botters, item spawners, and teleporters. This really has become a major issue since even the Dayz media(IE Youtube and Reddit) population have been making constant videos and uploading hundreds of pictures of these hackers. This rise surely started to happen sometime in .45 and hasn't stopped increasing yet. I did some research on my own about these hacks and people are actually paying money in an intentionally unexplained way to acquire everything they need for hacking in DayZ. I was hoping someone could shed light on the matter of hacking in .49. Is Bohemia actively seeking out methods of combating these hackers? What is the actual status of VAC over DayZ? Will justice ever be done and these hackers get banned?

So there i am in berezinho. Get shot in the arm from the police station and run into the diner/pub building. Finally i can fight against a non hacker in some clean pvp! Here he comes towards the building, as I draw my magnum to do the dirty work. This is going to be so much fun!!! Fighting a non-hacker without 9 protector cases full of grenades! Here he comes up the stairs... BOOM shot him in the head. "Victory cheer in skype" "Friends congratulating me" Loot his body for the ammo. Oh wait, his body dissapeared? Who is that laughing at me in game? Obscure words are said that i can't understand. I ready my magnum for the stairs again and start to get mocked. The guy appears in front of me and instantly dissapears. He is wearing a press vest and running in and out of walls. Mocking me for being a "noob". He pops in through the wall and shoots me in the back which breaks my legs. I fall to the ground and surrender. He walks through the wall in front of me and walks back into it. My gear all of the sudden dissapears completely and im in fresh spawn clothes. BOOM i get shot in the head. He mocks me as I lay dead. DAYZ IS COMPLETELY UNPLAYABLE. This is LITERALLY the 20th time in the last week. I can't log in to any server without being tortured by hackers. See you all in .50

I don't understand how dayz can have such terrible security. I know it's alpha but c'mon, the hackers are just testing the game for weaknesses while we can't have any fun. High population servers are completely unplayable.

Hacked for the 13th time in the last 3 days. Teleporting hacker flew in to knock me unconcious and replaced his gear with mine in under a second. Then laughed and killed me. Bohemia, please.

I completely agree. Why do they encourage server hopping? They should be encouraging players to find a server and stick with it.

What is going on? This is the 10th time in the last 4 days i've been killed by guys teleporting across the map, shooting through houses, and appearing in front of me and stealing all of my gear then shooting me with it. Can something please be done?

I definitely have problems with gunshots this last patch. I only csn hear them half of the time

This isn't about the number of zombies, it is about the instant respawning of zombies. I cannot explain how much of a pain this game has become since zombies are now instantly respawning. Ill run for 10 minutes into the middle of nowhere and tab out for 20 seconds. Tab back in to find literally 7 zombies attacking me? I can't go anywhere or do anything without an infinite amount of zombies swarming my every move. I KNOW THIS IS A ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE GAME but it is literally impossible to clear an area of zombies for even 30 seconds. I can't stand it!

All American servers

There has been a huge influx of hackers recently in DayZ. I have witnessed over 5 accounts in the last 2 days of playing. I have also seen tons of duping areas where players have duped their characters over 20 times and there are piles of high cap vests, drum mags, and lots of bullets. Just 15 minutes ago i logged into the barracks in turovo and did not even move once. I instantly heard another player(the only other player in the server) so naturally I aimed my rifle to the stairs. He would have no way to see my position or even assume i would be in the same area as him. He prefires and runs backwards up the stairs. Every shot hit me since i didnt hear the bullets hit the wall. He was aiming straight at me. Clearly wall hacking and possibly aim hacking. He wouldn't even have time to wall glitch to see me it was so fast. I've experience 2 other times where players literally came running in through the walls of the building i'm in to spray me down. This game has become nothing but a breeding ground for hackers and dupers. Maybe its time to jump on the wagon??? I have about 300 hours into the game and I haven't experienced this many hackers yet. Is DayZ part of VAC yet? Since the game is in alpha are there not anti-cheat methods? Are there private servers that i can join that are heavily moderated to almost eliminate hackers and how could i get into these? I have never hacked in a game before but if its this easy and everyone is jumping off the bridge.......

If you are super far away from where your end destination is. Just suicide and get a spawn that puts you closest. Do this until they fix it, everyone else is. If there are three rules to dayz they would be as follows. 1. Camp to win in pvp 2. Everyone cheats in some way 3. Nobody is friendly.

Pro-tip here: When you spawn find the nearest town you can see and run to it. Looting is not nessessary because you are only looking for the road signs that give you the towns name. Check the town on dayzdb so you can plot out your course. Loot only large building with high loot spawns or weapon spawns. Houses are pointless and a waste of time. Don't try to kill zombies without an axe, just keep sprinting away and looting. Use your strafe keys to avoid hits. Once you acquire a weapon strafe a circle around the zombies and keep swinging until the game desides you hit them. If you are new and on a highly populated server stay away from larger cities like Berezinho, Elektro, and Cherno. Also airfields and military compounds can be equally as dangerous because these are basically pvp hubs. Explore the map from end to end do you csn become a professional navigator. The skills in pvp can be learned from experience and YouTube

The reason players don't see hackers is because they steer clear of large cities. The only real fun in the game is PvP and i'd rather play another game than roam the wilderness for hours gaining nothing and not having fun.

Here it is months later and I am still getting killed by hackers. It really is tiring, to deal with the same crap over and over. The latest one ran through the wall with 6 zeds on him and he pulled a 300m headshot on me with his M4 in under a second of raising his weapon. Then he ran to my body with the same 6 zombies tearing up his back and then continued on. Why can't we get rid of these hackers????

You started it. I just want a Jeep. Steps to Jeep it like a bauwse. 1. Cruise coastline getting 13/mpg 2. Pick up hot chicks on coast 3. Bang hot chicks

Servers still not up. Going to drink coffee and continuously open and close DayZ until it works again. Who is with me?

Hopefully soon. I want to play for a couple hours before i go to sleep

Try changing your resolution in your games video settings. Also make sure you are playing in the right screen size, IE full screen/widescreen settings

AKM Drum magazine disappears when swapping clips if no space open in inventory.

The thing is one problem is not holding the patch back, it is the stuff they aren't telling you about. Like how there is only a couple of developers left in their team actually working on the game. They sold their copies and now they are out of spending money to pay developers. It is no insult, it is just common sense. How are they paying their developers with no more sales? They aren't. Bohemia never had a large budget for DayZ and now the only people left doing the work are the couple people who think they can make more money when the game releases. Which they won't because the game will not be out until literally 2016 at the rate we are at now and there will be plenty of more interesting games to play then. If rubber banding is slowing the development this badly, what is going to happen when they attempt to implement vehicles? Find a new game gentlemen, we have been shazam'd.

Came back after a couple months expecting some progress, found none. This is a little sad considering how many updates were rolling out in the start of the year. Has development been ditched or something? I am confused. I was hoping to see some substantial progress by now but it appears I will be playing bf4 until christmas. I don't follow reddit, is that where the info is?

I don't see the professionalism in posting development info in a separate area other than the forums for the game. I don't like reddit or any of those "3rd country" sites. I see the development blog but it doesn't seem to be updated too often.
