Sounds like server owners that dont know what they are doing yet. When the heli crashes/explodes a few entries are made in the createvehicle.log. Something to the effect of "Spawn BIS_AirDestruction" something like that. I would contact them and get yourself un-banned.

Hi, I have been seeking out hackers and banning them from my server with much fervor. I can say that the createVehicle.txt and scripts.txt MUST start logging for MedBoxes. They were somehow able to know what I was logging for and used a MedBox instead of the AmmoBoxBig that is normally logged and banned for. They are looking at the latest updates to your Scripts.txt CreateVehicle.txt and RemoteExe.txt (as they are free and opensource) and determining what we are looking for. Players on my server have been spawning in MedBoxes with 50 of every item in game in the middle of town, the middle of the road and other places. Please do yourself a favor and log the med boxes and keep track of their positions. This will aid you in hacker detection. I hope that some of the dayzDev Team reads this as well as Dwarden. ALSO if you rent a slotted server NOT a dedicated, You will be hacked on. Mark my words. They look for slotted servers that dont give the Admins much control at all. You can use Rcon.... great. Other than that its up to what is logged and what isn't. I digress. Start logging MedBoxes

God you people are crazy..... where do they find you? Obv its for people who AREN'T logging med boxes........ I dont need a link to something I already know about.

Hi, I have proof in my logs for a few confirmed scripters in my server. I put a ticket in with the dayz team along with some of my logs but I doubt that will get me anywhere. I want these people globally banned. Whom should I contact to accomplish this?? Thanks.

Thank you for your response. Ill take them being banned from the Hive. Whom would I contact? I have already put trouble tickets in with the proof from the logs into the DayzDev Team. What next?

I had the same problem after joining a .4 server by accident. Never hacked either. Mine is #f6aa

It was supposed to be a hotfix. we were promised .3 after gamescom and thats over soooooooooooo yaaaaaaa............

looks like its prep for 1.7.3

Killed 2 extremely careless players at exiting the north side of the northwest airfield. They werent paying attention so they were easy prey for The semiAuto shotgun w/pellets. These players had absolutely everything both had every bottom slot tool with coyotes and NVGs. The one guy had a gun that I know isnt in dayz and the other had a bison SD with 6 mags. One of the dudes had a silenced M9 with 6 mags on him and 6 more in his backpack, the other guy had a silenced makarov.................. One of the players names I killed was So1idus and I dont remember the other one I think it was Reddy. I didnt take the crazy gun and the makarov bc i didnt want to get banned so i looted what i could and left. I thought it quite odd that they would approach from that side of the airfield so I decided to comb the woods from their entry point. Sure enough I find a white offroad truck with decent stuff in it. I gas it up and fix it (wheels yellow. hull orange) and drive off. After driving around for an hour or so I decided to stash it wayyy up north. I log for no more than 15 mins and i come back and the truck is gone(yes i saved it). RIght on the spot where i left it someone decided to put a black X that said "go" on it........ it was also the only marker on the entire in game map. There is just no way anyone found that (6 people on the server) within the time frame. I guess he thought It would be cute to put the X on it, or he couldn't give his friend the coords so he had to mark it. Oh ya not to mention the 2 pairs of nvgs were gone from our tents as well. Thats fine, that camp isnt in a great spot but I know for sure there was foul play on the part of that truck. Its impossible that someone found that in the timeframe. They probs have been extremely careful about their hacking/admin abuse until now so It went unnoticed. I play everyday 8hours+ a day I know what is possible/probable in this game. I dont care if hackers hack in gear thats totally fine with me bc they arent good players so they are easy prey for someone like me. I had a shotgun............ they had the best gear in the game and there was 2 of them vs me. You can either troll this post or take it to heart I dont really care. Iam just letting you know someone needs to look into US PA1 and Iam telling all of you not to play on that server bc they are hacking or Abusing admin privs.They obv knew where I logged off. This was this morning EST around 4am - 6am

I am positive that if they knew exactly what was causing it for everyone (key word everyone) they would have fixed it right away and a patch would have been inbound. Have faith they are working on a solution that A. Doesn't break the game in other places and B. Fixes the problem for everyone.

Mods do your jobs please. Start handing out warnings for people who decided to use this thread as a method for attacking other people instead of providing valuable feedback. Keep this post to what it was intended.

I have found that the guns seem to be re balanced back to where they used to be before the arma 2 nerf. I have noticed that the shotguns (870 and the m1014) are killing people like they used to. Can anyone else confirm?

Graphical glitches still a big problem for some. NW airfield, Balota, Now new ones in Cherno. There is no consistency that I can tell. It just does it sometimes and not others.

The server hosts are 50% of the problem. They update or dont update their servers and they update/dont update their server descriptions. Good luck trying to find a server that is actually labeled correctly. The waiting at loading is caused by you not having the same version as the server runs. This is also the cause for you spawning on the coast randomly. People just need to do their jobs and update their servers and descriptions and that would eliminate 50-60% of the problems people are having currently.

Confirmed that tents DO NOT save their contents. Even tents placed pre 1.7.2.5 are not saving their contents.

I still get artifacts with the new patch. Also having problems with vehicles saves. They seem to have their gear wiped each server reset and they always want to end up in the exact same place before the update.

Stop quoting him. Pay no attention to him. He just wants attention.

Its a hoax. If you have found a heli it was hacked/spawned in(hence why they aren't where you saved them). They are not working/spawning yet. Don't listen to the people that have told you they have found one. Do not waste your time trying to get to that island. Im quite certain this might have been a clever way to get all the servers to be running the same version...

Who is the best server host that you guys go with.Keep in mind I want a good clean server with very little lag and customer service issues. I understand that is asking a lot but any help you can post here would be a great help. Keep in mind I will take the opinions of the people who actually own servers rather than just random comments from players. That is not to say that your feedback on this matter is useless. That is absolutely not true at all. These people pay for the servers they host so I would like to hear from them. Thanks guys

These people are clearly mad that you found their camp. I assume they haven't been playing long enough to not be attached to their gear/vehicles. I would disregard any comments they made about scripting or hacking. What you are seeing is backlash because these people thought they were being clever by hiding up in the northwest corner. They thought they were being super slick and cant come to grips with the reality that people actively search that particular area (myself included). Don't allow them to talk trash on the server admin. Hey if they don't like it offer them a 200% money back guarantee on what they paid to play on your server.

I have noticed the same behavior on a lot of servers I play on. I don't think they are even allowed to lock the server like that. Report the servers here on the forums or open a ticket and they will look into it.

I agree that a tent wipe will probs be helpful in a first step to fixing the problem but you must realize that the people aren't going to like this at all. The people who still get married to their kit/gear will throw a fit unfortunately.

Yes, I can confirm that tents are still not working properly in the current patch with the newest beta patch. They either dupe their entire inventory on each server reset or they get wiped. I cannot seem to duplicate this bug with any reliability. There is also another bug/exploit I would like to see fixed. If you say pitch a tent and put your gear from your characters inventory and backpack in there, wait a minute, log out, log into another server 99% of the time you have all your gear back on your body and you can just go back to the server with the tent(assuming it hasn't restarted) and all your gear is duped in the tent. Please fix this. Also I have noticed tents that I have placed and then packed up reappear where they were originally placed at, effectively duping the tent itself. I pack them up every time i see them but they just keep coming back. Thanks

Use W, be careful, and It wont flip

Welcome to Dayz gentlemen. This is the only advice I can offer you guys. Good luck!
