I play on US servers as I live in the US and I have also been getting kicked every 5 mins or so, sometimes its longer. If this is something that the devs have done to reduce the hackers from coming in, then ok, but I cant drive a car or party with friends as I get booted due to high ping so often it makes it near impossible for me to do anything but stay in one area, which is boring as F. I too am I Wi-Fi, so I hope this issue can get fixed or figured out soon, cause the Wi-Fi isnt going anywhere, but DayZ just might if they dont unfuck themselves ricky tick!

I have sent multiple messages to BattleEye over the Hacker problems in DayZ. I did not get a single response. not one single time. Seems my cries for help are being ignored there as well. I stopped playing DayZ, waiting and hoping for the magic fix or patch or for BattleEye to step up there protections. but nothing... I hate it when the Community Elitests who (oddly enough) own their own servers and are trying to funnel people into "their" brand or vision of DayZ, into them. I laugh intheir face, cause i dont want to play on THEIR community Servers. i want the core vision of what the Official DayZ servers offered once. I will not settle for anything less. Lex, Bravo to you my friend for stating my points so precisely. My Solution for my own sanity was to stop playing for right now. i still have DayZ, in the hopes that one day i can play again. but for right now... No..

Last Night while playing with my squad on an Official Server, "again", We got killed by Hackers.. Two different times by someone using a speed hack and also what I can only describe as a universal kill button?? My squad and I were engaged in Brena, fighting another group... Someone thought they heard them speaking "Mandrin".. but regardless, fun times were had... UNTIL... My buddy and I fell back into a two story house. I was prone facing the doorway.. Suddenly, the door opens and both my character and my buddies were tossed around inside the room, bouncing around like the cars do in DayZ... then without a sound, we both died simultainously.. Right after the death,I was respawned near Brena, I ran back to my body... along the path and out of no where, I was rushed up on by another speed hacker.. this one was blatant and obvious.. He speed hacked , running at blinding speed glitching all over. I spoke to him, and he spoke very clearly in Chinese and some english. He spouted a bunch of Hateful Anti American language, which I will not repeat here... then killed me again... At that point I had enough so I stopped playing. These hacking issues NEED TO BE ADDRESSED!!! DayZ is a wonderful game with its fair share of issues.. But this hackers plague is really making DayZ NOT FUN anymore. I hope someone... anyone... from BO reads these Forums and addresses these hacking loop holes very soon. This is out of control.. Please do something... *UPDATE* I logged in tonight and spawned in near a remote spot west of Gliniska.. I randomly came across a player, who, when i talked to them, spoke Chinese and was a female. I punched her in the head and then hide in a hunters shed... She ran off into a certain direction. Literally 10 seconds later, I am getting shot at, then two geared chinese players burst out of the tree line and begin firing on me. This is yet another example of the cheating that is going on in the official servers.

I could of sworn that we had the ability to combine raw vegetables with raw meats to make Stews, which would in turn feed and water you for much longer periods of time. I thought this was implemented on the Official servers, but I recently tried it on an Official Livonia server and I was not able to make the Stew... Is this a modded thing, that i am just forgetting about? I honestly am confused..

I play on 3PP Official servers and I am still getting worked by hackers. Yet, ANOTHER case in point for the Devs who obviously dont care about this issue, to even respond with the slightest post about any answer... My friend and I were in Gliniska, low crawling across the field... ON OUR BELLIES!!! Across the entire field in an attempt to NOT get shot... but we did get shot.. But the odd thing was that we both got shot and killed at the exact same time. No sound of a shot, no crack of a bullet.. We both had tactical helmats on with plate carriers.. not saying that this is a end all for protection, but i have survived direct head shots with a tactical helmat and been shot in the chest mutiple times from a high caliber rifle and survived. This is a fucking problem and needs to be addressed.. and if I have to continue to bang this gong.. I will until BI takes note and makes battle eye do something..

Well, I am going to have to try those servers. I am familiar with the runningman.. and I have heard of the underground. maybe one day we will cross paths and have some fun1 😉

Well, that's anti-climactic and disheartening... not to say a little softening as well.. 😞

May I ask what Private servers you play on?

This may be true, but what the consoles DO have is MASSIVE Duping issues, that personally I feel that are just as disruptive as hackers..

Thank you for your response and I couldn't agree more. Bohemia has turned a blind eye to this long enough. I'm afraid if they don't start being more interactive and PROACTIVE against this onslaught of hackers from China and I have heard some from Russia as well, then it is going to completely kill DayZ as a viable product. But maybe Bohemia isn't really concerned if DayZ dies off, because they have so many other Arma titles floating around out there. You're also very right about the Steam Moderators deleting the posts about hackers. I posted twice on their forums only to have my post deleted as soon as it started to gain traction and a lot of people commented on it. I have also had players tell me the same thing.. if you don't like it, play on a private sever to avoid this. I have two problems with this line of thinking. 1. I don't prefer to play on a modded private server, as I am looking to play in the vanilla experience they way the game was intended to be played. Not based on a single player who owns the server decides how they "think" I aught to play based on their personal play style. 2. I shouldn't have to!! Official servers are supposed to be there for players like myself who want to play the game how its creators intended it to be. No muss, no fuss, no extras.. Just a beautiful, harsh survival world called DayZ. Having the only solution to be pushed off Official Servers is just not an option for me. I AM now on Bohemia's Forums.. I am calling for help... I am asking... no begging for them to do something... ANYTHING!! Clearly, battle-eye is not working at all. I have over 1300 hours in the game and I can tell you , while I had heard a lot about past hacking.. I have never seen any hacking until the last two weeks personally. and it is so rampant and often that it is slowly sapping my desire to even play anymore. This sucks because I have loved DayZ for a very long time and I want the absolute best for the game and its developers. Surely there is a solution out there that doesn't mitigate me to a private server and having to abandon the Official servers all together. Bohemia, If any moderators read this, I am willing to step in as a Moderator on any Official Server I play on. I have been a Moderator in times past on other games, where my job was to monitor the player base and insure they were following the rules. Back then we were called a SysOp, short for System Operator. Aliens Online was one of the first online FPS style shooters in the 90's. That being said, I am volunteering my time to step into a Moderators role, on any an all "Official" Servers that I play on, so that I can help to combat these hackers and clean up the Official servers so that the good players can once again enjoy the game with as little hacker interference as possible. Please let me know if this is an option, or if I have wasted my time in writing this novella here. But seeing as to the length of my post, i would think one see's my passion for the game and desire to bring back some sanity against this hackers plague. Thank you for your time in reading this.

I was wondering, where are all the ladies at in DayZ? I'm interested to see how much better the Ladies in the community are then us fellas.. Hit me up for some survival fun!

Hi Guys, I just wanted to voice a concern, and I hope a Dev might address it. Its with the upcoming Survivor Games. It is my hope, that BI is NOT pulling assets away from the development of DayZ, in order to push out this Survivor gamez.. I like the idea of the gamez, but I like more then anything the idea of the Dev Team, continuing to further develop and flesh out this great game we love called DayZ. So, any info would be appreciated... Thanks..

Very good! Thank you 🙂

So in the description of the Camo net, it states, it can be used for base walls, (which we all know) and then a little somthing about it being able to be combined with something else to makew a "Personal Shelter".. Does anyone know the recipe to use the camo net for personal use, beyond the car tent and / or walls to bases?? Any feed back would be helpful.. thanks

Why every time I log out with a fully built car on a persistence enabled server, is the car always gone when I log in the next day? I thought cars where suppose to be persistent? I parked it in an area, I know no one would think to go, and I dismantled the car in a manner that no one would carry all those parts with them. So why am I wasting my time building cars, if they are just going to despawn??

I play on PC, so duping isn't a thing with 1.03, but, I will say, I have about 600 hours in game, and of that 600 hours, I have only ever found 2 M4's. the second one I found two days ago. They are intended to be ultra rare. Now, I am hearing that the duping thing takes them off the spawning grid. I don't know if that's the case, at any rate, Duping or No duping, the M4 is a rare , random and difficult find. Just play to have fun, explore the map, engage in the world of DayZ, and the loot will come.. The important thing is that you just enjoy yourself. And remember, this isn't PUBG or Apex Legends or FortNite... DayZ is a Hard Core, Apocalyptic Survival game... Its intended to be hard.. and brutal and frustrating.. Prove you deserve to survive in this harsh world. Not because you paid money to play it, but because your smarter then the other survivors and can out smart and out wit them. Its a glorious game..

I know a game like Star Citizen uses it, and it helped immensely with performance and load on computers. The Spawning distance wouldn't be so narrow as to make it happen in your example. The area in use would be much larger, to avoid people being about to tell where others are by the zombie counts.. But, I believe that already happens in game. I know the zombies tend to spawn in direct relation to how many players are in the area, whether you see them or not..

Why not introduce Object Container Streaming into DayZ..?? It would immensely help with the performance issues and allow for a much greater allotment of spawnable items within the game world.. For example, more "Infected" The idea for OCS is simple... The Server streams in all necessary items when it detects players in the vicinity, and the areas of the map that are not currently being used by players are pulled out. This is done dynamically, and it saves a ton on CPU power, and increases Frame rates 10 fold. Just a thought..

That makes sense, but this has happened to me and my squad on multiple servers now. Server restarts, the car is despawned. Now, I will say this. We played on this last server for 3 days, the whole time, putting together the Olga, and during those 3 days, as long as the Olga didn't get moved, it remained persistent in the server. once we completed the build, and drove the car off and left it in a place not known to have anything, it was gone again, when I logged in the next day. So, i am at a loss..

I understand all that. I will give you another example. Built yet ANOTHER Olga last night, Drove it out into the North West, No houses, important land marks, military, nothing remarkable that might draw a player.. next to the edge of the Map, in a cluster of bushes.. it was well hidden. I logged in today and it was gone. My squad reported a remote camp site they set up with a improved stone camp fire, tents with loot in them, and walls they started to construct, all of that was gone as well. It always happens after the server restarts. every single time. I know its not players, due to the fact that on a couple of occasions, I was still logged in with the vehicle.. Server restarted... I waited a few mins.. logged back in and the vehicles were gone... So, I agree, some times it may be players... but when I spawn into a restarted server, when there are only 2 other people in the server and I am in a very remote area, and had not seen players for hours, I tend to think that maybe, just maybe, the server is eating them. I hope I am wrong. Iwant to be wrong. I love this game so much. Dev's please prove me wrong...

Yes

A little bird told me today that PC may be getting version 1.04 update soon? Any validity to this? If so, can anyone shed any light on it?? Thanks

When your driving through the country side and every tree, and hill and bar and old town looks like a place you have run through in game..

Yes, it is the exact same server. I made sure of it. And I am not taking the car parts and dropping them on the ground. I am holding on to the parts. The Car tent did not have anything in its inventory and I was told that if left empty they will despawn. As for the car, I am thinking that perhaps other players found it, if the tent despawned, the car was able to be seen, and if they had a car battery and a spark plug, they were in business.
