    Pending Update 1.7.1 Details

    Just FYI back to work fulltime on the update after dealing with all the leftover hacker stuff.
  4. Fact: not a single false positive has been detected by Battleye when reviews of logs requested Fact: many people contact battleye admitting they hacked but begging to be unbanned Fact: they do not get unbanned

    Overabundance of servers.

    Peak users is currently (right now) 11642. Every day we set a new speak record. However off-peak concurrent is about 5000 (weekday) and 7000 (weekend). Offpeak the servers would be reasonably empty

    Hacker ban ineffective

    Give it time
  7. The Google Groups message Tonic sent out wasn't in possession of all the facts, and was very poorly written. Tonic has apologized to me for this. He is under an extreme amount of pressure. He is not compensated for what is pretty much a fulltime job under high stress. Mistakes happen. To his credit, his only mistake was a PR one and he avoided any serious harm occurring. I would like to reiterate, that posts/emails from anyone except for me do not represent the official point of view of the project. Also, that google group is not an official group of the DayZ Dev team, and I am not a member of that group. Fact: One of our Artist's PC's was hacked by a person known to him. Fact: The hacker used the Artist's password to attack the forum's. Fact: This was detected almost immediately, initially it was thought that this person was in fact the artist themselves. Fact: DayZ has RDP/Admin access to less than 15% percent of the servers hosting DayZ. Fact: The forums were vandalized, and this was detected and rolled back immediately. Fact: A staff member, in a rush to inform everyone, was misinformed and overreacted resulting in the infamous google groups message. Why does this happen? Please remember that I cannot do everything myself, as such an army of volunteers help. Tonic is under an extremely large amount of pressure and is required to devote a large amount of time to dealing with increased security threats. Nobody can be expected to get everything right every time. Also, take what you read in the game media with a grain of salt, my experience thus far is that I am quite often misquoted and sometimes I have quite a giggle at what ends up appearing. I have listed the facts above, anything else should be evaluated carefully, not everything you read on the internet is correct and with the amount of misquotes attributed to me after/during E3 I would treat many of even "reputable" gaming media servers with a degree of caution. Are we taking security seriously Well, did Sony take security seriously? The FBI? People get hacked, it happens. I think we do a pretty good job considering about one month ago we had less than ten servers. We are also at pains not to store personal data, the only data we store is the forum data you supply (such as your email). So the worst that can happen, is that all DayZ data is wiped. The DayZ team has been stepping away from administering the servers ourselves for the last three weeks, as we simply cannot cope with the volume of server requests and setting them up. Hence, we only have direct access to less than 15% of total servers. So any claims that anything being compromised would allow the rise of us wielding a network that could be a "giant botnet" are incorrect and misinformed.

    Question on two copies / cd key

    Only approach that works, is to create a separate windows user, then install the second copy. Make sure you don't select "Install for all users". Confirmed to work a treat :) I think there a few guys sharing computers with their brothers this way. Unfortunate we can't do multiple characters for them I guess.
  9. To confirm, I have received not one single notification from battleye of any false positives. I'm not saying there is none, because... BattlEye is asleep and has been for some time.
  10. rocket

    HELP ME PLZ

    NO GUYS. SRSLY. He said he didn't use cheats. See I quoted it.
  11. rocket

    HELP ME PLZ

    Wait, Wait guys, he said he didn't use cheats.
  12. It looks like pretty standard crap to me, garden variety crap.
  13. rocket

    Fragility of  ArmA2 was exposed

    Okay, so what is the suggestion? 1. Do nothing 2. Give up 3. Do what we did 4. ?
  14. rocket

    Own fault... :'(

    I thought this was funny - hilarious even, when we had the first ban's come through. I don't think its funny now at all. Not one bit. This is a total tragedy, for everyone.
  15. I hope you're happy. Congratulations. I am "rocket" on your forums.
  16. If you have been "Global Banned" (глобал бан) then it is applied by BattlEye' date=' not by DayZ.

    Rocket doesnt sleep

    I appreciate the concern, and don't take this the wrong way but... this ain't my first rodeo, cowboy ;)
  18. Right, the next attack on either Kronzky, or me, I'll close the thread. And if you don't have anything to add - please don't reply in it.
  19. rocket

    Overlay ban

    (Please be global ban! Please be global ban!)
  20. Look, god now this is going the other way. We had a DISAGREEMENT. That doesn't even mean he necessarily did anything WRONG. We had a disagreement, I requested - strongly - the files be removed. Don't crucify the man. The butt-hurt I displayed in this thread is directed at the people who were going all lawyer crazy. I mean shit how does Kronzky feel? Now I feel like shit. See? This is why I didn't want to say anything about this. It all gets blown out of proportion and people start filling in the gaps. Maybe if everyone could just leave me and Kronzky alone, because really, its none of anyones business.
