Several people just got hacked and killed on US 231 at 1:37am PST. Basically my self and 3 friends were on the server. We were together but vary split up at the moment. Basically we were just south of Pustoshka looting some barns. 1 guy was to the barn in the middle of the field. I was 300m away in the forest line prone. Another friend had just logged in and was in the middle of a bush and another guy was in another bush in the tree line near 300m from him. All of a sudden I noticed 3 guys die in a matter of seconds and make a comment about it on our teamspeak just as a 4th and 5th guy die. I was like wow that must have been some crazy firefight to have so many deaths back to back. Then my buddy in the barn says he's taking firing and as soon as he dies all of a sudden Im taking fire, I was prone and unless someone was on top of me they would have never known I was there. I immediately jump up and sprint through the trees ducking and dodging. Of course I continue to take bullet spray hitting me left and right. The guy in the barn goes down then I go down, then suddely the other two guys 500-1000m away from us all go down as well. We have no idea who could have been doing it. But it was clear that they had some type of teleport plus some way of knowing exactly where we were. This is just a warning that will hopefully let other people know to be carefull if you start seeing a string of death messages run by that you could be next and it might be worth logging out.

Maybe rollback is a poor choice of words. However, everytime they died the server conveniently "crashed" and moments later their crew was loaded back up with the same gear. Our group would routinely go back to a location where someone had hidden 3 tents, which had the same items after each "crash". These guys are either item duping or "crashing" their server conveniently so that it resets them at the last time their info was saved to the DB so they have their gear again.

I just wanted to report this server and the server admins for what should be considered cheating behavior. Their server should be stripped from them. Myself and about 7 friends started playing on their server 3 nights ago originally called "Chicago 117 - *BETA REQUIRED* - Hosted By The United Sirs of America". We started building a tent camp and collecting weapons. Last night we end up having some run ins in the game with what we figure out to be the admins of the server ADMINS - SpyDur, BORN IN THE U.S.A. , HeinrichScheilmanhousr Basically after we eliminated them they started resetting the server and basically rolling back the data because we would find outselves losing multple hours of play time. Everytime we would run back into BORN IN THE USA he'd have his same rollout of Coyote Backpack, AS50, M4A1 CCO, and various other items. This evening we were playing again and managed to highjack our raft back that they stole from us only to find them resetting the server again. After taking their team out a couple more times they take the server down and quickly and then changed the name of the server I guess hoping we wouldn't find it. We logged back in and continued playing. Later in the evening we found ourselves making a run on the NE Airfield where after moments earlier he was killed but some how ended up back at the airfield with his full load out taking out our assault team. As soon as our overwatch team had eyes on him and started to snipe him he ALT F4'd off the server. As soon as he logs out we see another guy log in under the name Thor Von Awesome, then a couple minutes later Thor logs out and BORN logs back in behind our sniper team and takes them out as well. So hopefully their server will be blacklisted or at the very least this message will get out and people will avoid playing with them. I'm pretty sure they were duping items via their server resets and rolling back the server to regain lost items when they died. I don't have any physical proof other then a screenshots of me connected to their server in the two stages of name change.

FINALLY find a crashed heli and was able to loot a Bizon and an FN Fal to fit in my Alice pack. I end up finding 4 HE Grenades and have plenty of food/water/med supplies. I log out for the night to join up with some friends this evening. Log onto US 126 Roosterteeth server, run to a point between myself and a buddy and just as soon as we meet up and head off to have some fun.... BOOM hacker teleports me above water then suddenly back to the spot I was in only to drop me and break my legs: Insta Death. I'm sitting in the lobby with shock and awe, my buddy claims he survived only to die to round two of the hack attack. I don't mind losing my shit in the game world to legitimate circumstances of the game play but losing to this kind of shit is so disheartening. fr33py

Idk if its related or not but every 1.7.1.2 server I join ends up crashing after several minutes of play. I noticed every time I found a new weapon and picked it up a bunch of "melee weapons" would spawn on the ground in front of me. Like 20 hatchets and 5 crowbars. None of which I could pick up. Wonder if this is happening to everyone and the server is getting overloaded with items causing it to crash?

So much for that theory. I have the ARMA2 Beta patch 93825 and Six Updater says it has Day Z at 1.7.1. I see a handful of servers listing they are at both of those versions and I'm still getting kicked.

I'm having the same problem. It appears DayZ was updated 1.7.1 but all the servers are still on 1.7.0? I'm just guessing. Seems like either Six Updater is a little premature or the servers are slow at updating?

I've had the same thing happen.

I really like the game, still learning. However, the most frustrating thing especially for a new player is logging onto a server and seeing everyone else communicate in blue SIDE CHAT text and its not available for yourself. People are always asking if you're friendly and of course you can't respond because the only options you have are Direct Communication, Vehicle Chat and Group Chat. Direct Com works if they are basically next to you. However no one waits that long and when you don't answer they assume you are a bandit and then kill you on site. Better communication in the game should be available in some form so you can group up with people. Despite going 9 for 9 on deaths against everyone I run into I still try and play a friendly role when I can and its never paying off mostly because I can't let someone else know I'm friendly.
