Preslei

Check the forests, and edges of the maps for peoples bases. I was on Chicago 39 for maybe two hours trying to help out a streamer I follow, and I found two boats and a broken down ATV all within about 30 minutes. The ATV was in it's proper spawn place at Black Lake, and the two boats on the north east shore. You just have to know where to look really.

We have seen an up-rise in illegal actions on this game mode recently, so I want to make a list of behavior and actions tied with these suspicious players so others can identify them and stay away from them, as well as help get rid of them for everyone's sake. This is list will be generated off of what we have all seen in games, so please post and add your own experiences to the list. I will update it as I can. What CAN they do?: Teleportation, anywhere. ESP on players, and items. They can and will find your tents and cars. Invisibility (Both with their persons and name plates) Item, Vehicle, and NPC Spawn Item duplication (Also a known non-hacking glitch) Server-wide messages. Server-wide nuke/mass murder. Destroys tents. Script-driven means to KICK players from servers. Invinsibility/God Mode

Far be it from me to stifle your enthusiasm for anti-cheat, but the voice of reason in me obligates me to point out that "ESP on players, and items" is very very difficult to prove... seeing without being seen is an art form to some players, and if you've ever ran with a mate in a ghillie suit, well, it makes you damn near invisible. Also, accidental item duplication is possible due to the alpha nature of this game... I've had a hatchet clone before, don't know how exactly I did it, but the inventory system is conducive to this sort of thing. Anyway, that's my 2 cents, carry on. Oh you're very right, but my thread is to target what a hacker can do in this game. Research *** or any sort and witness in game personalities that are not playing properly. We've had people TP right onto our camp, kill us, be invisible, know where our hidden gear is and get away with things. They do have ESP, not all, but it is possible. My goal here is to highlight what I or others have witnessed from actualy illegal activity. I'm well set off in the game, and don't cry hacks for no reason. Some things can be fishy but they aren't. I'm talking proper cheating, not carebares bitching that they sit in Cherno for 2 hours and get killed because they didn't move.

The real problem here: The streamer is openly supporting the person being around them. He claimed he doesn't know the guy, but then stated that the guy is always around and people mentioned he has been in videos of the streamer before. TLDR: He is openly condoning not only people cheating but playing with a cheater and not doing what he should to stop it, or report the person as he should. Don't defend him for that.

Ironically, last night a group of four cheaters were banned off of the server I play on, and today, the DayZ servers are being attacked. I think the angry Russians that got caught last night aren't happy about it.

I am posting on behalf of a much younger friend who is trying to install and get DayZ to work. He uses: Free ArmA2 + Paid for OA, both from steam. Three of us went through the installation guides and everything to our knowledge checked out with how he installed everything. Two of us have everything installed properly, and play liberally, but we can't seem to get this kids game to read DayZ. Any input?
